maesaitime Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I am an Australian living in Lamphang and my multiple-entry visa, which I have been using for the last 15 months, will expire on 26 March. I will travel to Sydney on business on 8 April and apply for a new non-O visa there. If I cross the border at Mae Sai on the 26 March and re-enter, will Immigration give me a visa which will tide me over until the 8 April? If not, are there any other options?

Mario2008 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If you go over the border and return by land transport you will get 15 days, if you leave the country and return by air you will get 30 days. Seems 15 days will be enough. Edit: If the non-O is based on marriage, you have the option of getting a 60 day extension for 1,900 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that 60 day extension have to be applied for in BKK? or would a local immigration office be OK too? Are there other requirements than the 1.900 baht? At what day can the application be made? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The application for a 60 day extension based on Thai wife or child must be made at your local immigration office. Requirements are proof of relationship, (wedding certificate), copy of wife's ID-card and household registration, of course your passport and arrival card and pass photo. The wife/child should also accompany you. Always best to call them first, as they might have extra requirements. The extension is given on the spot and can be made in the last 30 days of your current permission to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 2.24 In the case of an alien visiting a Thai spouse or child: Permission will be granted for a period of not more than 60 days at a time (1) Proof of relationship. (2) In the case of a spouse, their marital relationship shall be de jure (legitimate) and de facto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
