JosephMcCann Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hey, My current Non-imigrant O multi entry visa expires in december however I have read that I can get an extra 3 months when it expires. Is this still the case? and if so how do i go about getting the extension? Oh and I got the visa when you where allowed to say your where visiting a friend (technically my girlfriend).

Lite Beer Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Do a border run just before the Visa expires to get a permision to stay of 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 As said use the visa before it expires - the visa ends as normal (you can not use it to enter again) but any permitted to stay time can continue to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephMcCann Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 ah ok that makes sense, so it expires 13th december - so id need to exit before that date, then re-enter before it expires ie re-enter on the 12th december, and get the extra 90 days? Then worry about what ill do after that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestedObserver Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 No, the Thai Immigration law did! Thank you thai immigration law, you have just saved me a flight to the uk! Why fly back to the UK, you can get a visa in the local area from a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephMcCann Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Why fly back to the UK, you can get a visa in the local area from a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. Exactly! I thought the visa ended in December and the price for a ticket to the UK over christmas is a lot higer than normal. The guys above pointed out that if i do a border run just before it expires I can get a stamp for 3 months, then worry about what I'm doing next. and if i decide to return to the UK the price will be cheaper in feb / march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardholder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Good point about the removal of the the 'family & friends' reason for a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa. Valid reasons (with details of evidence required) are listed below:- Category “O” -------------------------- 1) Married to a Thai national Evidence required: a) If married in Thailand: Copies of Original Thai Marriage Certificate and Thai ID Card or Thai Passport. If married in UK: Copies of Original UK Marriage Certificate and Thai ID Card or Thai Passport. or 2) Visiting family working/living in Thailand Evidence required: a) Birth/Marriage Certificate to show relationship Letter from relative confirming they are in Thailand together with a copy of page in their passport showing valid entry visa or a copy of their valid work permit.. or 3) Volunteer Work Evidence required: a) Sponsor Letter from Registered Charity. or 4) Visiting Thailand as Pensioner Evidence required: a) Copy of Bank Statement showing receipt of State and/or Private Pension. or 5) Visiting Thailand as Retired Person aged 50 years and over Evidence required: a) Copy of Bank Statement showing income of minimum £900 per month.
