lopburi3 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Do it next week as you lose no days by doing early - have not seen any office postings of days closed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Official holidays are the 6th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th, the 17th is an extra holiday but maybe not applicable to Government offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The 9th is also a holiday, i believe due to the Royal funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 My application of stay expires on April 9. Since it's a holiday, can I renew on April 10? I can't do it before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes, if it expires on a day immigration is closed you can do it the first day they are open again without having to pay a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thank you. I was less worried about a fine than their refusal to renew my stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 On this forum in the General topic there is a locked posted item of Thai government holidays for 2012 The ones for April and early May 2012 are: 6 April (Fri) Chakri Day National Holiday 13-15 April (Fri-Sun) Songkran National Holiday 16-17 April (Mon-Tue) Songkran Substitution 1 May (Tue) National Labor Day 5 May (Sat) Coronation Day National Holiday 7 May (Mon) Coronation Day Substitution Add April 9th to that as mentioned above in another post...and it will give you an idea of when immigration will probably be closed. Plan ahead. The ones in red are national holidays, so you can be sure government offices will be closed those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
