Fatherfluffybottom Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to get a one week extension for my non B visa (which was obtained outside Thailand). I am currently based in Bangkok, and my work permit is registered in Phuket, so i am wondering can i get the extension in Bangkok immigration or can it only be done from Phuket? Thanks in advance, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you only have a non-b visa that has not been extended at immigration you can do it in Bangkok. But you will need an address for there to put on the application form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherfluffybottom Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I do have an address, its a condo that i am currently living in, in Bangkok. Do i need to show proof in the form of a Tabien Baan? I am required to do a 'border bounce' to get another 90 days on the 18th, it turns out i have a business meeting in KL on the 22nd, so if i was to get an extension of stay for one week, it would see me through. I just dont want to create any problems for myself, as my WP is registered in Phuket. giving the current visa crack downs etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You will not normally need to show any proof of address when you apply for the extension. A rental agreement a receipt would be enough if asked for it. They probably will not even know you have work permit. If you are working in Bangkok you should have a endorsement in your work permit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherfluffybottom Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Many thanks for your response and information. I presume i will need to show evidence of my outward flight ticket, to show why i am applying for an extension? You also mentioned that i should have an endorsement in my WP, because i am currently working in Bangkok. I have just moved from Phuket last month, same job, same employer, same staff contracts etc. My WP is up for renewal in December. Is it advisable to get a 'temporary' endorsement until December comes? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The do not ask for tickets out to get the extension. Not having an endorsement would be a problem if somebody wanted to to see your work permit while you are at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatherfluffybottom Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Where is the immigration office in Bangkok that i should have to go to, is it Cheangwattana? Are there any others close to Bkk CBD? I am an Irish Passport holder. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
