JAS21 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have an extension of stay until 2 May 2011. We intend to leave the country for the month of May. I realise that I can apply up to about one month before for my renewal. I also realise that I need a Re-entry Permit, however that expires at my renewal date. Which renewal date? One would think that it would be May 2012, is it?...or should I delay departure until after 2May....thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I would think that once you've gotten your new extension any re-entry permit obtained after that point should be valid until the end of the new extension as the previous extension is now invalidated. But as you well know TiT. Best to ask immigration when you get your new extension. Yes you can apply up to 30 days early, even earlier may be possible if you ask immigration nicely and explain the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedObserver Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The "Valid Until" date is clearly indicated on your re-entry permit. If you are returning after 2 May 2011 your current re-entry permit will be invalid. Any new extension of stay and re-entry permit will have a new expiration (Valid Until) date associated with it.

mxyzptlk Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) The "permitted to stay until" date needs to be entered on the TM8 application form, so if you have received your new extension, then the "permitted to stay until" date on your new extension should be entered on the form and that will be the date the new re-entry permit will expire. ^^Beat me to it.....IO Edited January 18, 2011 by mxyzptlk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 You obtain the new extension of stay - then you obtain a re-entry permit (which will have that new date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
