Hi all,

I came to Thailand with a non o multiple entry visa which expired late in October. I did a visa run the day before it expired, giving me the next 90 day stamp, which is due to expire on 21st January.

My question is: can I go to immigration for a 30 day extension before this new date comes?

I understand there is a fee, but am unsure if I can get the extension as technically my visa is expired.

Thanks.

You can only get a 7 day extension, or a 1 year extension if you meet the criteria. On what base do you have a non-O visa? Marriage, friends, retirement? If you tell us we can help you.

If you have a Thai wife or child, you can get a 60 day extension.

I applied and received my visa from Hull, based on visiting friends, although really I came to be with my Thai gf.

We are not married and we do not have children.

I am hoping to stay until late in February, and extending by 30 days (if possible) would be the cheapest and simplest solution.

You would only receive a 7 day extension and might need to show a ticket out of the country within those 7 days.

You can either go abroad and get a tourist visa, or fly out and back into the country and receive another 30 days when you re-enter Thailand. (15 days if you re-enter Thailand without a visa over land).

Not possible.

Only solution is to do a border run (15 days on re-entry) and a second one if needed.

Or do the border run by air, which will get you 30 days when re-entering.

Or depending on where you are it might be convenient to go to Vientiane in Laos, where you can get a tourist visa (currently free of charge), giving you 60 days when re-entering.

Thanks for your answers.

The visa run(s)/Vientiane tourist visa were my other options if the extension wasn't possible, so it looks like I'll have to go one of those routes.

Thanks again for the help.

Double entry tourist visa from Vientiene would give you nearly 6 months stay (if needed) with extensions and a border run in the middle. They are currently free.

Goodday all, a newbie here

just did the Vietien turn around & they gave me 30 days & were wavering the exit & entry fees maybe due to the SEA games

Who gave you 30 days? Laos or Thailand?
