RichardThailand Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 How easy will it be for me to extend this for another few weeks (after the 29th August) and if I do that then could I even extend it for longer before my 6-7 week trip is over ? Some background on my situation. This will be my first trip to Thailand this year. I have an outgoing ticket that for 3 weeks after my arrival date. I don't have the time now to get a tourist visa and at this point didn't want to go that route as I am not sure of exactly how long my trip will be. It might be 3 1/2 weeks or might be 7 1/2 weeks.

ubonjoe Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 On the 29th or after you will be able get one 30 day extension. Before then the longest you can get is 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How easy is the extension process. Where do you need to go if you are living near the airport and one last question. Once a visa-exempt has been extended then can it be extended again. I realize maybe knows this as the rules are changing soon but I would be interested to hear for example if the current 7 day extension can be extended again.

stevenl Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 One time extension only. Any immigration office can help you with this, easy and painless process, but I'm not sure whether immigration at the airports can do this. Somehow I think not.

ubonjoe Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 It is an easy process just complete an application form and pay 1900 baht. Which airport and which city? It is once only for both extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right to assume that I should apply for that extension about a week before my first 30 days is up and I should visit the office with my new outgoing airline ticket?

Mario2008 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes, a week before will be fine and the out going ticket is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
