Extended my visit

[Mike45]

I'm American from USA. I arrived 12/05/2014 visa on arrival in BKK.

I've changed my departute flight to 01/16/2015.

I'm staying in Ubon Ratchathani until I leave.

Can I extend by going in and out to Laos on the 5th of January?

[Upnotover]

It is possible to get a 30 day extension of a 30 day visa exempt entry at immigration. However, as Jan 5th is your 32nd day that might cause issues (or maybe not as they have been closed a few days).

[Mike45]

I heard that immigration in Ubon was closed until the 5th?

You can go to immigration in Phibun on Monday to apply for a 30 day extension for a fee of 1900 baht. You will not be charged for an overstay since your entry ended on a day that immigration is closed.

Or you can do a border hop at Chong Mek to get a new 30 day entry since your from the states, (G7 rules) on or before your permitted to stay date

[Upnotover]

Yes, closed until but not including. Of course if you popped over into Laos before your 30 days expire you'll get another 30.

Is my permitted to stay date 12/3/2015?

[ubonjoe]

I think your permitted to stay date is is tomorrow January 3rd.

You need to do a border crossing tomorrow or you can apply for the 30 day extension on Monday.

The visa on arrival for Laos costs $35 or 1500 baht. Chong Mek is only a little bit further to travel to than Phibun dependent upon where you are at in Ubon. You could even do a little duty free shopping at Chong Mek.

I did the border run and got the additional 30 days. Thanks to all
