finy Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I currently have a double entry visa and I'm still on my first one. I need to get my first 30-day extension stamp at immigration by 9th August, so was just wondering when I could go to get the stamp. Also, if I went on something like the 15th July would my visa still be vaild until 9th September so the 30 days is added onto the end of the 2 months?

ubonjoe Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 You can do it up to 30 days before your permit to stay ends (not visa). The extension will start at the end of your permit to stay, Remember that you must use the 2nd prior to the use before date on your visa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finy Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thank you for the feedback. Just to clarify (because I'm kind of stupid) I could: Get my extension stamp any time after 9th July even though it's due 9th August and it would be dated 9th September. I'd then need to leave and come back in before 9th September to activate second entry? (I just put 9th to make it easier to understand and I know it might drop to 8th then 7th, but I will do everything a week early to stay on the safe side.)

lopburi3 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 You need to return before the expiration date of your actual visa - that is often 90 days from Consulate issue date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The extension is added to the original 60 days, so ou don't lose any days by applying early. But you have to keep the validity of the visa itself in mind. Your second entry must be made before the end of the validity of the visa itself! That is often 3 months or 6 months from applying for the visa itself and depends on the consulate where you apply. In Laos you only get a validity of 3 months! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finy Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks, guys. I'll check passport now to see when the 3 months are up and I'll try to get to immigration long before due date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfopera Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The due date issue" is about when you must come in on your second entry. It has nothing to do with the 30 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finy Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah, before 5th September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazdeb Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 my son is here on a double entry 60 day TR visa and he did his 30 day extension the other day and only been her a couple of weeks so I don't think it matters when you do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
