ThaiGeared_HighThaied Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) 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.

dr_Pat_Pong Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiflyer1 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) 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?

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...........? Edited May 4, 2005 by thaiflyer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiGeared_HighThaied Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) 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.
