patongphil Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If you apply for an extension of stay some 30 days before your existing extension expires when is the extension dated from - the day you apply or the date that your previous extension would have expired?

wayned Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The date your previous extension expires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) It starts from the day your current extension (or visa if it is your first extensiom) expires. The extension is for one year from the date of visa/extension you have. In my specific case: Arrived in Thailand with Non immigrant O multi entry 1 year visa which expired 15 October 2011. Did my initial retirement extension on 15 September 2011 and extension was until 15 October 2012. On 5 October 2012 did my 2nd extension and am now valid until 15 October 2013. Everything's keyed on that 15 October date my initial visa expired. Edited November 17, 2012 by IMA_FARANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 You should not have any problems as long as you have all the needed copies and proof income or bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montereyjp Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 While we are on this subject and I am sure this answer is already posted but save me the search please... My current retirement visa is not multiple entry so I have to get a re-entry permit every time I leave Thailand. I want to switch to a multiple entry, can I do this when I apply for my extension? I understand it cost more... TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 No your retirement extension of stay does not allow any travel. But as said above you can buy a multi re-entry permit at any time to allow unlimited travel during the remaining period of time on your extension of stay.
