moe666 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) My extension ends on the 1rst of Feb. which is a Sat. the only day available for an appointment is the 3rd of Feb on Monday. Checked the full month of jan no vacancies. I believe I have read here that if the date falls on Sat.Or Sun. that immigration will give you benefit of a doubt. Any news lately in Chiang Mai of this happening. Thanks guys I will also go out to Immigration on Monday and ask a few questions about this I will get back to you on this as well Edited November 1, 2013 by moe666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It is not mandatory to make an appointment. You can go on any day in January and do it. Just be there early in the morning and get a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 You might have to pay for an overstay of 2 days at 500 baht a day to do it late. They normally only make exceptions for holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe If you're trying to avoid hassles I would suggest doing a little waiting in a queue would be better than leaving it to the last minute. If there's any kind of delay or request for additional paperwork, you'll have no time to sort it out and then the hassles will be far worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and even then its only an "extension of stay" which will be given not a visa ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that I missed the opportunity to say that too. One of my favorite aggravations is someone talking about visas when they mean extension of stay.
