metice Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have a friend who is nearing the end of the first part of her double entry tourist visa. I know that she needs to leave the country to activate the second part but I was wondering if it was possible to extend the first part of the visa (even if it's just for a few days). If this is possible, would she be required to visit the immigration office or could a 3rd party take passport along on her behalf? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A 60 day tourist visa entry can normally be extended for 30 days with 1,900 baht and filling out a TM.7 at immigration. Be aware of visa expiration date however as it is likely to be 90 days after day of issue and must be used for second entry before it expires.

Does this apply to non imm O (marriage) as well. I got a single entry in Veintainne and I'm good until beginning of May. As wife is due to give birth about then I don't want the hassle of another trip up there at that time. It would be good if I could squeeze another 30 days at Khon Kaen office. I know I can apply for a 1 year extension of stay but at the moment I'm broke so that's not an option just yet Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 You can apply for a 60 day extension for reason of visiting your Wife. 1,900 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 A non-immigrant visa can only be extended by 1 year or 7 days. (The last one is not really an extension) However, in the case of being married to a Thai national you can always get a 60 day extension. problem is that they probably want your wife to accompany you, together with household book, ID-card and marriage certificate. You can do it 30 days before your current permission to stay ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botaknh Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks for quick replies. So it looks like I'm good until end of June and can now concentrate on worrying about the arrival of the latest rug rat to the family Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
