SJM2013 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have been undecided whether or not to extend my single entry visa (already extended for 30 days) for a further 7 days, and so avoid an 8 1/2 hour overstay. Current 30 day extention expires today - 1st sept. Will it be ok to extend it today (1st sept) for the 7 days? Left it until last minute I know. Could do with a quick answer guys, and ill make my way to bangkok immigration asap. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 You could apply for the 7 days today. If you are flying out tomorrow from either airport in Bangkok you will not be fined for an overstay of less than 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merijn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Don't forget that not all immigration offices are granting a second extension. Phuket for example will normally not do a 7 day extension after your first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightycabage Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Don't forget that not all immigration offices are granting a second extension. Phuket for example will normally not do a 7 day extension after your first one. No intention to hijack here but could that possibly apply to a future extension of a visa as well? For example, on the second entry of a triple entry tourist visa, a 30 day extension has already been granted and want an additional 7 day extension. If that is granted, would it have any effect on applying for a 30-day extension while using the third 60-day entry? Edit: Not located in Phuket by the way, but would be at Jomtien immigration.

Absolutely no effect, a new entry in country resets extensions history. But watch out your visa "enter before" date if doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMajor Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You could apply for the 7 days today. If you are flying out tomorrow from either airport in Bangkok you will not be fined for an overstay of less than 24 hours. How much is a 7 Day Extension ? Need to fill a TM7 form or any other type of form ? I am into the last 60 days of my 2 Entries Tourist Visa and do not see the use of applying for a full 30 days extension to cope with new flight schedule (meaning 5 days overstay otherwise).

The only qualification for 7 days extension, that is given as a denial of any other one, is that you are not already on one. Nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Since you qualify for a 30 day extension you will not get 7 days to leave the country like you would if you applied for a 7 day extension you will get 30 days. The paperwork and fee are the same for both extensions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
