[liyongli20]

I married a Thai wife, and we went to apply Non-imm O extension in Sep for the first time, and i got a temporary stay for 30 days under considerartion, it require me going to immigration for second time in person on Oct 9, should i have to go at the day of Oct 9, or can i go earlier than Oct 9?

Thanks!!

Your stamp will say "Report to this office again on 9th Oct"

That is when you have to go.

Yes, you MUST go on the 9th. Not before then.

In the past I have went a couple/few days before hand (twice out of necessity) to the immigration office to see if my visa had been cleared. They will always put a 30 day come back to see us stamp in the passport as their standard protocol procedure. I would not think that everything runs like true clock work with the Thai immigration, and their timing can run on either side of the 30 day given time. One thing I will say is that a full week of time before the stamped date would be pushing it, but then again all I can surely contest to is a few before days as I stated.

You don't have to personally go there to get the stamp. My wife went for me as I was out of town on the day and she had no problems.

But someone will have to go there on the 9th, not earlier and not later.

Hi there, OP.......................Just for your info, I always send my Thai wife to NK office, 3-4 days in advance for my 1 year Non-Immigrant visa ext. since ~ 14 years back, always ready for pick up.

As I stated in my last post before. They would like/prefer you to go on the day they stamped in you passport, but it is not damned if you don't and you cannot because the sky will fall. It is best to go on that stamped day, but if for some particular reason you are in a jam and need to go before, you can do it.

Thank you DtemJai. I rest my case!

thanks

"I married a Thai wife..."

Personally, I married a single woman.

A couple of years ago I had my wife check with imm with about a week and a half left before my 30 day date to report back. Everything was done, with no problems.

I had her do that because she was going to be in the area anyway, and it was a 3 hour drive from where we lived.
