Hi,

I'm currently on a 2 month tourist visa for Thailand which runs out on the 8th January. My plan was to leave the country a few days ago but i was recently robbed and now need to hang around while it's all sorted out. Basically I need to find out how long a visa extension takes to complete - as to judge when to make the trip down to the embassy in Chiang Mi. Is it something that is approved on the day of application or can it take several days?

Any help would be appreciated.

An extension for a Tourist Visa should take just a few minutes, just depends on how busy the office is.

The 30 day extension takes a few minutes. Depending how busy they are.

Best to go a few days early. You do not lose any days by doing this.

Excellent, thank you.
