Is it possible to request say 6 or 8 months

extension as one off

I realize I am endlessly locked into a cyle which will require me to be here in the very month I need to be overseas.It all started when I was given 15 months.Yes I know it cannot be done now but it was and I have the stamps to prove it.

I suppose the alternative is leave and cancel the visa andfork out 5900 for a new one?

Anybody succeeded in doing this plea

The normal is one year. But the rules say they cannot be granted for not more than one year at a time.

It might be worth a try. Just talk to your local immigration office and ask them if it's possible.

You could also try for a 60 day extension to visit your wife instead of the normal extension. That would not meet the period you mentioned but it is an option.

I would not break the extension chain just in case they decided to raise the income requirements while you were without an extension.

Your 5900 baht cost for a new visa does not add up for me. A single entry is 2000 + extension is 3900.

A multiple entry 5000 + extension is 6900. A 2 entry visa is not given by all consulates or embassies and is pretty rare these days.

Unless he is talking Samui baht.

Thanks guys

Its almost like paying for afull glass and requesting half

Will wait until Khun Friendly on duty and try my luck
