visa extension start date?

[maureeses]

Hello all,

I had my 30 day visa extension done a few weeks ago and I'm a day short... my visa expiry was on Saturday Sept. 27. But since immigration offices are closed on weekends, I had to go early to immigration on Friday, Sept 26 to get the extension.

My question is:
Shouldn't the extension have started on Sept. 28th after my visa expired- not on the day I got the extension? I thought you can go to immigration days early, and still use up the visa until expiry before the extension starts. I sure can use an extra day.

Thanks

Your extension started 28/9 and ends 27/10.

Each extra day is 500 Bt overstay fine or you can get a last 7 days extensions for Bt 1,900.

It should be October 27th. What day did you get?

The extension stamp does not show the date when the extension starts. It shows two dates:

1. date when extension was issued, ie stamped in your passport
2. new expiration date of your permission to stay

When I counted 30 days from Sept 28th, I should arrive at 27th. But the stamp from immigration says 26/10 is my last day. Should I go back and have it corrected?

To other comments: My visa expiration was Saturday Sept. 27th. I went to immigration on Friday Sept. 26th. And my stamp says I have til Oct. 26th. I think I should have until 27/10 like paz says.

If you need the last day you should go back and have it corrected.

The expiration date, ie "enter before" date, of your visa is immaterial.
