jaidam Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Can anyone help advise a Polish tourist with his visa extension. He said that on arrival in Thailand without a visa he was made to pay money at the airport and recieved a 15 day visa.Its finished in 3 more days and he needs an extension. We are on Koh Tao.Is it possible to extend this visa at Samui immigration,or Ranong?Samui is easier for him. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 He has a visa on arrival and these are not extendable under normal conditions. Visitors who enter the Kingdom with Visa on Arrival generally cannot file an application for extension of stay except in special cases such as illness which prevents them from travelling, etc. They can submit an application at the Office of Immigration Bureau , Immigration Division 1, Soi Suan Plu, South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120. Tel. 02 287-3127 or 02 287-3101-10 ext. 2264-5 or at website http://www.immigration.go.th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
