SymS Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 My Non-immigrant 'O' visa will expire on the 25th of January, and I also have to report for 90-day extension on the 29th of January. Since going to the immigration office is quite a chore, I'd like to do both at the same time.I know I can do 90-day reporting 2 weeks before, and 1 week after the 29th january, but usually I'm applying for extension of stay for 1 year, 2 or 3 weeks before expiration.Could I apply between the 15th and 25th of January to perform both visa extension and 90-day reporting at the same time? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceptict11 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 No.............. "visas" are never extended. I suspect what is meant is that the OP wishes to apply for a further extension of stay ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor use of language leads to confusion and misunderstanding . Encouraging the misuse of language by "understanding" does not assist!

Poor use of language leads to confusion and misunderstanding . Encouraging the misuse of language by "understanding" does not assist! Just my opinion There was absolutely nothing wrong with the "language" that he used! It was the "terminology" that was wrong! "Could I apply between the 15th and 25th of January to perform both visa extension and 90-day reporting at the same time?" Visa extension should have been "my extension of permission to stay" Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailandpeter2 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 congrats! yours was the only useful reply to the OP in this thread! all the other posters got stuck in semantics and discussion about what this nd that means, although it really does not matter whether you call it visa extension, extension of stay or even 'doing my visa'...

Maestro Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Immigration offices regularly use "visa extension" when they mean "extension of temporary permission to stay". This web page of the Bankgok immigration office is an example: http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/base.php?page=service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
