90 Days Before End Of Ext. Of Stay--renewal Possible Where?

[purushanti]

My understanding is that one may extend one's stay (for purposes of retirement) up to 30 days before expiration of one-year.

This seems to be the general rule, yet is it not true that Jomtien is an exception, and will renew 90 days before?

And are there any other local immigration offices that act like Jomtien?

I would rather not ask questions at an office lest I put an idea in someone's head that could be rejected.

The extra 60 days can be useful to those of us who are watching the currency exchange rates, hoping they will not fluctuate to our disadvantage suddenly. -----Thank you!

Most do up to 30 day in advance, unless there is a reason you have to do it earlier, like if you are planning a trip abroad and need to do it some earlier.

I agree with you, in general, thank you, Mario, but I remember somewhere on this site, this year, talk of 90 days in Jomtien and in another place: local offices making their own decision. Is my information incorrect?

One or two offices advise earlier. You are going to have to ask them.

Thanks, Lite Beer. Can you name the offices?

Jontiem for one.

Go and ask who you deal with. Most are helpful.

You won't lose any days by applying early. The extension will start when your current permission to say ends. It is only safe to do it early, in case you need to show additional documents.
