FATNAPPY Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Probably already covered somewhere but I couldnt find it....I have a Non "O" visa and I have to leave the country on the 23rd Sept 2012, due to bad planning on my part my flight to the Uk is on the 4th of Oct, so I need an 11 day extention.... Is this possible at immigration or do I have to do another border run ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 1. Normally you would only be allowed to "extend" it for 7 days and you would have to have a ticket showing that you are exiting Thailand during those 7 days. It's not really and extension, just time to "clear out"! 2. If you have a Thai family you can extend it for 60 days. 3. If you meet the criteria for either marriage or retirement, you can extend it for 1 year. 4. It can also be extended due to medical reason if you have a letter from a doctor stating that you cannot trave5 Otherwise, a border run is in order unless you want to risk overstay and pay the 500 baht/day fine.

ubonjoe Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) If you only have a single entry visa you could also get a re-entry permit that would give you the remainder of the extension when you return.
