chris_samui Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 How long does a passport need to be valid when apply for a new retirement extension ( 5 th in arrow), f.e. passport is valid for 6 months, do they still give an extension for these six months, or does the passport need to be renewed first?

ubonjoe Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The extension will only be done for the length of the passport validity. When a new passport is obtained a new extension application have to be done when the shortened one ends. Best to get a new passport prior to applying for the extension.rather than having to apply for an extension twice during a short period of time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 You'll be given 6 months. From the immigration website According to the New Regulation from August 13, 2013, when submitting application for Visa Extension if the validity of passport of the applicant is not longer than one year left before expiry, the extension of stay will be permitted not exceeding the expired date of passport.After the renewal of your passport of obtaining a new passport, you have to re-apply for Visa Extension by submitting required document and paying extension fee ( 1,900 Baht ). In case of overstay, the fine is 500 Baht per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
