Help: I Need To Stay Extra 2 Months In Bkk

[ThaiGeared_HighThaied]

I am resident of Dubai, and holding Iranian passport.

I have used my double entry tourist visa (2 months + 2months)

stayed here for 4 months, and my visa expires tommorow.

I can get extra 1 week for fee of 1500 baht, but 1 week isn't

enough for me.

I have been told that Visa companies can get you extra two months

everytime by paying Immigration around 8000 Baht? Does any firm

offer such services or any alternative solutions?

P.S. I can't get another two months tourist visa, from Bordering countries.

That means i have to apply from Dubai or Iran only for new tourist

visa.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Any new visa needs to be applied for in Iran or Dubais. Whether Immigration will extend your present visa at all is anyone's guess. You have no time to do the rounds of agents and/or lawyers. Go on into Immigration as fast as you can before it becomes a big problem.

Wouldnt advise you use the services of anyone saying they can obtain a new visa for you by paying immigration............its illegal.

Why didnt you just extend your 2 entries at local immigration after 60 and 150 days stay..........(30 day extensions are available for 1900 baht for each entry on a visa i.e you could of had 2 extensions )

As you state Iranian citizens must apply for a new visa in their country of permernant residency.

Cant understand what 1 week for 1500 baht is.................Can you not apply for a 30 day extension now for 1900 baht?

Why would any legal Visa company do somthing illegal, Are you saying

that handing over my passport to them for Visa stamp is illegal?

Yes, Because i am Iranain (considered Terror state), rule has change

since sept 11 for certain countries, and iranian get 1 week only instead

of 30 days

Sorry never realised you could only get an extra week.

Regards using an agent.........anywhere you are paying 8000baht there is something illegal going on............you have just stated Iranian citizens are only able to obtain an extra week ,so how can anyone get you an extra 2 months extension?

Edit...........i wonder if you would have better luck at Pattaya immigration...........?

I talked to an Immigration contact and he says that your chances are very slim at getting any extension at all without a super valid reason. Any extension at all will attract a fee of 1900 baht.

Looks like your out of luck T.G.H.T.......

A westerner very rarely gets a greater extension than 30 days. Leaving it until the eve of the visa expiry wasn't too clever either.

[ThaiGeared_HighThaied]

Coming up with a valid reason is the specialities of visa companies,

This is for this part

Next, The fee and jobe should be done in official way as i have

been informed when the tourist is under a circumstances that

he has such NEEDS to stay extra months.

I have plenty of time left, as i can go to Immigration the next

day my visa has expired and seven days extension is given at

no question asked (i have used the seven days extension before).

That means i am able to leave thailand at earliest 12th may, even

if i don't get any extra two months extension.

Considering your nationality you are either very brave or very stupid. There is NO period of grace whatsoever for anyone at all.

(Visa until 12th may with 1 week extension)and book my flight for

a week later (19th may).

Can i tell police that i couldn't catch earlier flight (have my

booked flight ticket and my passport in my pocket all the time from

tommorow).

Sounds a good enough reason to me, sure immigration will understand.........let us know how you get on.
