I have a 3 month non-immigrant O visa which is due to expire on Dec 22nd.I am working as a volunteer and have just obtained my work permit. Could someone please tell me how I go about obtaining a 12 month extension to the visa and what documents I need? I know that for extending a tourist visa you can do it on the last valid day at Suan Plu; can I leave it this late for a 12 month extension on a non-imm O? Also, how much extra does it cost for a multiple entry visa?

Many thanks in advance

Better not to leave it until the last day in case of any problems.

The Multi Re Entry Permit is 3,800 Baht.

The Police Order covering all extensions is here.

Thanks Lite Beer.

I checked the document but it's still not clear. It says I need the following -

- Application form (Is this available to download?)

- Copy of passport/work permit (does this mean every page or just those with the relevant stamps?)

- Copy of the approval for set up the official organization, or copy of the approval for entering the Kingdom issued by the related government sectors/ organization. the certified letter and request for stay issued by the Chief the government sector will be required. (I have no idea what this is)

Thanks again

Application form.

Passport relevant pages.

I would assume this to be a letter from your"employer". Hopefully someone will know more.

Passport photo page, visa, entry and permit to stay stamps.

Work permit page with name and any pages with stamps or info.

The organization that you are working with will have to supply all other documents and should know what you need.

Application form TM7 can be downloaded here. Link:http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=download

The organisation must be a recognised charity, you must submit proof of that.

In case of a government school you need a letter from the director and a letter from the director of the education region of the school.

Don't worry, most documents are the same as you needed for the WP.

Thanks for all your help. It sounds like the paperwork is the same as for the work permit.

Cheers
