steelerian Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hi all, Does anyone know where I can find any information regards closing/opening holiday dates for Samui Immigration over the Songkran holiday period? I am due to get my extension stamp on Tuesday 16th April, which I believe is a public holiday in Thailand. So assuming they are closed on (Monday &) Tuesday, would I need to go on Friday 12th?

Battybird Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I would say yes go on Friday, I think they'll be shut till Wednesday or even Thursday next week - this is Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks PS. 5 day holiday, Must be nice. I need to go for a 30 days extension on my tourist visa. Its due on the 16th, so I guess I will have to go on the 11th and lose 5 days. If I go on the 17th I will have to pay 1 day overstay, even with their holiday shutdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't lose days by going early, the extension starts from the end of your current permission to stay - not from the date you apply.

Dont know about other Visas, but surely works for Tourist Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
