Indo-Siam Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I received a phone call today from a business associate of mine - calling from Suan Phlu Immigration HQ. He advised that - as of today (as best he knew), Immigration has changed the allowable short-term extension periods - from the old allocations of 30 days first-time extension (for 1,900 baht), with one additional 14-day extension allowed (for another 1,900 baht) -to a new policy of just 21 days initial extension, followed by just 7 days second extension - both for 1,900 baht each. I am not sure if this is permanent change - it will take additional confirming data points to know for certain - but for those who routinely base their planning on 30 + 14 - you may need to adjust your plans.

sriracha john Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks for the update, Indo.... Is there any official word on Immigrations website? Should this be pinned or thread mass-emailed so everyone knows? I used to get extensions all the time on a Non-O when it was cost-effective to do so, but stopped when the price increased 4 fold. Seems like there's even LESS incentive to get an extension now, unless absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indo-Siam Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Extension of stay based on what visa? --------------- Maestro Maaestro - This is in regards to obtaining a SHORT-TERM extension to any sort of 90-day non-immigrant entry permit - on the basis of paying 1,900 baht. This applies to any visa that results in an initial 90 day entry permit. Cheers! Indo-Siam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
