motoyen Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hello, I have a 1 yr multiple entry non-b that expired on September 10. On September 9 I went and did a visa run to get an additional 90 days, which gave me until December 7, however my plans are to leave Thailand for Japan on December 25. What are my options for the 3 weeks between when my visa expires and my departure date? Can I get an extension? If I did another border run would I get 2 weeks or can I apply for a tourist visa? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Maybe, your best bet would be to fly to Singapore or KL and return the same day, that way you get a 30 day stamp. To extend at immigration will only get you a week extra, you could do that and then do a border run which would give you the time you need.

Why do they make it so difficult, the poor chap wants to stay a while then go to Japan.One Paid for Airline Ticket +A daily fee and a Depart by Stamp + a Big fine for overstay would be to Thailand's advantage.

Lite Beer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Exit and return by Air would give 30 days. Exit and return by Land would give 15 days. You could do this twice. Exit and apply for a free Tourist Visa would give 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Overstay is a crime and has risks beyond the normal 500 baht per day fine. Much better for everyone to stay legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoyen Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks for the replies. So no way of staying without having to leave the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
