Extension

[ignis]

Not 100% sure, so advise please..

Always get my retirement extension in BKK, about 3 weeks before the due date, have 5years extensions..

Due date is 24th March 2009... I am going out of Thailand for the 1st time, 13th February until 26 March

Do I need to show proof to renew my extension 1 month earlier than I normally do?

What to fill in on the TM.8 form.? last question on form "and have been permitted to stay up to : date/month/year"

do I leave this blank so can put in the new extension date? hopefully 24 March 2010

They usually do accomodate you if you have to travel .

Tm8. I would leave it blank until you are issued with your extension.

Not quite sure what you meant by proof.

Proof of travel? I would not have thought so but someone else should know for sure.

You need to get your extension before you leave. If not you will only get a re-entry permit good until March 24.

If you have your ticket for your trip to show immigration you should not have a problem to get it done before you leave.

You can leave the date balnk on the TM8 until you get your extension if you wish.

Proof of travel?

Yes......... Reason being I fly to KL and then on, The Tickets from KL onwards are with my friends in KL, so the only ticket I will have is BKK to KL and return..

I would guess they are e-tickets which were sent by email. See if they can forward them to you. Or if they are real paper tickets a faxed or scanned copy should be enough.

But the KL tickets should be enough to show you won't be here.

Don't forget the re-entry permit after you get the new extension.

Update:

Just got back from renewing my Extension so I am good till 24 March 2010, I took the flight ticket BKK - KL but was not asked for it, NO questions asked at all about why I was 7 week early..

Did not forget the re-entry permit, Thanks
