Hi

on the 12th May ( the earliest date) I am able to apply for my 1 year extension of stay based on retirement. All documents and money requirements are in place plus will ask for multi entries. I like to travel to Australia on the 31st of May and was wondering if I would have the ok before then.

Also do I have to go again to Chaeng Wattana or can I still go to Hollywood Major

Many thanks

You must use the alternate locations in Bangkok until further notice. Extension of stay for one year retirement should be approved immediately and then you can apply for get a re-entry permit (what you call multi entries) on the same visit. You will need copies/photos for each and suspect you may have to exit to obtain copy of new extension of stay stamp.

If you already have a non immigrant visa (non-o) visa entry or an existing extension of stay you will not need to make but one trip to immigration.

@ Lopbur3 As frid. 9 May is a Thai nat.hol would they take as ok a bank letter from the day before with a bankbook copy on the 12th of May? and does anybody know if there is an availability to photocopy papers?

@ Ubonjoe I am on my last extension of stay of my multi entry Non Imm O visa with expiry date 8 June, but just got my new passport and need to change stamps from old to new passport, which I believe can be done on the same day. Just need more photo copies

Thank you both for your replies

The 9th is not a holiday. The 5th and the 13th are though. See: Thai Holidays 2014.pdf

You could get letter on the 9th and do the extension on the 12th.

Bangkok immigration will let you do the extension up to 45 days early,

@ Ubonjoe

Sorry my mistake. I have the 5th and 13th too, don't know how I came by the 9th. I might be able to go a bit earlier then on the 7th

Thanks

Am sure that are stalls set up to make copies and take photos - I know there are a Big C, Latphao.
