Hi,

Seeking advice please - TM7 for 30 day exstension :-

Form T7 + is a copy required?   Is Photo copying still available at Central Festival?

Is Charge 1900 Baht?

Yes, you use the TM7 form to obtain a 30-day extension (from exempt entry or Tourist Visa) and the charge is 1,900 baht.

I don't know if photo copying is available at Central Festival as I've never had to make copies there.  

I was at Immigration near the airport last week.  I overheard a man who had just gotten his extension.  He'd expected to get another 30 days, but they gave him only 7 days for his 1900 baht. 

 

They explained that he's allowed 2 extensions, the first one is for 30 days, but the second one is for 7 days.  The price is the same for both.

 

Understandably, he was not very happy.

Only one 30-day extension is available for either a visa exempt entry or a tourist visa entry.  When somebody applies for an extension they are not entitled to, oftentimes the best one  gets is a 7-day time period to leave the country.  That's an "extension" which is likely subject to the discretion of the immigration officer (although commonly given to people in the same situation).

Thnxs Bob,

First time I have done this as 'child bride' and I have always had 12 month Non O previously - want to go for one again but not until this Autumn -  get renewal date that suites,

I have until end Jan- so this coming Thursday gives me some  'wriggle room'.

Will get a copy done before I go.

Have a good day.

HI Mr Brad,

Now that is what you call 'shrinkflation'!   I try to be a 'good boy' - never mess with the 'rules'.

Had 10  very nice  years here - Retirement Visa - looking for more if possible - will start again this coming Autumn - 'future permitting'..

Rgds,
