Tourist Visa - 30 Day Extention Applications At Suan Plu

[smilingjim]

Forgive me if this has already been covered - but there are so many threads and I can't find the answer if it has!

Has anyone applied for the 30 day extention post 1 October? If so, what happened?

My double-entry tourist visa expires on 2 November (second one) and I want to decide whether to apply for the 30 day extention (waste of money and time if restricted to 7/15 days)

or do a border run and get 30 day VOA.

I'm planning to fly back to the UK end of November

Just did exactly this in the afternoon two days ago (17 Oct), no problem at all. I was getting the 1900 baht 30 day extension on the second entry of my triple entry tourist visa. Maybe took five minutes longer than I remember for getting my first entry extended but other than that essentially an identical experience (with the exception of being asked to paste my photo on the application form -- a writing table near the window has a jar of glue and brush).

Thanks a lot for that. Good to see real story posted.

I can now plan on the basis I'll probably get my 30 day extention.
