Leveraged Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Hello, I’m here on a 90 day entry on a non-o multi entry visa. (Marriage) Is it possible to extend this for 30 days at immigration? I have to fly for work in 2 weeks so it would be easier to extend for 30 days then fly for work, rather than doing a visa run and then a week later leaving the country.

ubonjoe Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 There is no 30 day extension for a non immigrant visa entry. You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveraged Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Follow up question: Are there any tangible negative consequences for overstaying 3-4 days and then doing a visa run? I know I’ll need to probably pay a fine, but that’ll be cheaper than a visa run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't get checked / caught on the way to the Airport then you will regret that you have overstayed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveraged Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 I’d rather spend 2000 baht and avoid a visa run. I’m in phuket so the only real options are a flight or spending 5AM to 10PM on various minibuses in horrendous traffic. I’d pay way more than 2000 baht to avoid all that drama just to extend my stay a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this alternative would work but you could chat with immigration regarding applying for extension with full knowledge that it will be refused and then granted 7 days to leave Thailand. (it's not an extension) . Edit: just re read OP. You were happy (it seems) to apply for a 30 day extension. When uj and zzzzz suggested a 60 day extension to visit wife you didn't reply?? Bit more paperwork but not difficult. Edited March 5, 2023 by DrJack54 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
