CFC Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have only been here 2 weeks and need to get a 30 day extension in about 6 weeks time. Can I apply for this extension at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 You can do it about 2 weeks before your 60 day permit to stay runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terak Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes at local immigration office. Extension will start when 60 day finishes, no loss of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Probably 2 weeks. Why are you so concerned about doing it early? Edited November 3, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 For Phuket it would be Ranong by boat to Myanmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 You say you are traveling all over Thailand so how can we answer that? If you mean Phuket a trip to Burma it the closest for visa exempt entry but for a visa a trip to Malaysia/Penang is normal and apply morning and obtain late same day or afternoon next day. Overstay puts you at risk of arrest but at exit would be 500 bath per day fine normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a triple entry so just need to exit the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 OK just one caution that all entries must be made before the expiration date on the visa (which is likely 3 or 6 months from date of issue). You can stay and extend after that date but can not enter for new stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 For Phuket it would be Ranong by boat to Myanmar. I was just looking at this via google. It said that you can only get a 15 day extension from Myanmar. This wouldn't effect me if I have got a triple entry visa and is it okay to exit the country at this point with a triple entry visa.

If you have any visa you get what is allowed on entry from it. The 15 days is what you get if you don't have a visa.

terak Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Beast advice is to take the short run to Immigration Office in Phuket and talk to one of the Farang Volunteers, they can give you the most up to date info for that office. I am sure you will be able to extend Visa immediately but remember ......................................TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
