I would kindly ask some help and your opinions.

I have a 1 year NON-B visa in my passport that is still good until the end of 2015. I do need to make visa runs every 3 months and my current stay is admitted until February 1st. I have an opportunity to rebook my 50 hour flight to Buenos Aires to a much shorter 28 hour trip to February 4th from the 1st and would like to rebook for that later date. However, that would make me overstay by 3 or 4 days. Do you guys think I will be OK by doing that and paying the overstay fine. I do not want to compromise my current 1 year NON-B with this incident. Thanks for your kind help in advance.

You can get a 7 days extension at immigration for Bt 1,900. About same price than overstay fine and perfectly legal.

Thanks for your kind input. Will this be a real extension (positive)? Or will it be an order to leave the Kingdom within 7 days (negative)?

Will be a negative. That doesn't say it's an order any more than you current stamp date says so.

You will request the extension, they will deny it because there's no provision in the regulations for an extension but they will give you 7 days to "clear out"! It will cost you 1900 baht, you will be in the country legally for the 7 days and it will not affect your current visa or any future application. Best way to go!

Typical BS, you request 7 days, they deny it but then give you 7 days to clear out! They should be renamed to the "Immigration Intelligence Bureau"!

Thanks for your kind explanation. It is true that such extension stamps influence future applications, negatively. I have experienced this by myself with the embassy staff pointing their finger at such a 10 day tourist visa "extension" stamp to deny me a 1 year non-b visa in Dubai several years ago. My lawyers say it was an isolanted case, but it still happened and it cost me a lot of money. Thanks again for your input.

That would of been a lot of years ago if you got a 10 day extension. They have not existed for many years.

That had to a one time occurrence because I have never heard of such a thing happening.

Getting the 7 days to leave is a lot better than an overstay stamp.

It was in 2006. Well, I can always take a short flight to HKG or KUL and extend my stay this way. Might be the best of all solutions. Thanks again
