7 day extension

[darrendsd]

I am on a SETV that I have already extended by 30 days, my 30 days expires tomorrow, can I go to Immigration and get a 7 day extension?

Thankyou,

[ubonjoe]

You can apply for a 7 day extension, pay 1900 baht and be given 7 days to leave the country.

[darrendsd]

Thankyou Joe, there will be no issues at all in getting this?

[ubonjoe]

You should have no problem doing it. It is something they routinely do.

[darrendsd]

Joe just one more thing, my stamp expires tomorrow, if I go today will they date it 7 days from today or tomorrow?

[ubonjoe]

The 7 days will be from tomorrow.

[elviajero]

You should be ok but there is no guarantee you'll get an extra 7 days so have a plan B. The 7 days will start from when the current stay expires.

Is it (SETV) 60 days + (1st extension) 30 days + (2nd extension) + 7 days?

But I have not seen a report anywhere of anyone having been denied the 7 day "extension", have you ?

Yes.

There is no 7 day extension to apply for and it's up to the individual IO or office whether or not they will issue 7 days to leave the country. It's meant to be used by IO's to give people that are denied extensions time to leave the country.

I know exactly what it is for, what I am saying is that I have never heard of anyone being denied it.

Here is one report from a quick search. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/816954-denied-60-days-extension-of-non-0-in-nonthaburi-part-ii/?p=9307496

I not sure that post is a good example of a denial considering the office where it was reported for and circumstances of the denial.

I cannot recall any other recent reports. Immigration for the last few years has been doing them without a problem in most cases.

[darrendsd]

I was actually on a visa exempt which I had already extended by 30 days, just back from Immigration and there was no problems in me getting another 7 days

The form I filled in was a extension form, I filled in 7 days, it asked for the reason, I stated sickness

It was the same form I filled in when I extended my 30 days last month

No problems with Immigration

It's not a 7 day extension.

A tourist visa or visa exempt can only be extended one time for 30 days (60 if u have a Thai wife). Then you apply for another extension -it's irrelevant if you write 7 days or 360 days on the application-, the IO refuses it, and gives you 7 days to pack your things and leave the country.

Due to ever changing regulations and "crackdowns" I prefer not to have these type of stamps in my passport.

I will repeat again that I filled the form in that said extensions, it was the same form that I filled in when I extended my Visa Exempt

The officer did not refuse anything, looked at the form, looked at my Passport, stamped it and took my 1900 Baht and I was away

Despite all the petty bickering on here about what it is classed as I got what I asked for so what's the problem?

[lkv]

There's no problem now and probably none in the future, it's your option what route you take, i just explained what it technically is. It's Extension Denied - 7 days to leave.

Out of interest what was stamped in your passport?

Application of extension to stay not permitted, must leave within 7 days

[sunnyjim5]

Application of extension to stay not permitted, must leave within 7 days

Does "not permitted" mean Refused ?

[lkv]

Application of extension to stay not permitted, must leave within 7 days

Does "not permitted" mean Refused ?

In Thailand it does.

In other places "not permitted" means not permitted.

As in, why would one pay 1,900 baht for something that is not allowed?

I paid the 1900 to get the 7 days to leave the country

[lkv]

Some mod that understands my point help me out, it's a matter of semantics.

My understanding is you paid 1,900 for an extension that was refused and the application fee is non refundable.

No, I got 7 days, the extension was refused, I was stamped with 7 days to leave the country, I paid 1900 Baht for this

Hope this helps your "semantics"

[lkv]

No it doesn't.

[darrendsd]

Well I explained it clearly enough in my last post, get somebody to help you if you don't understand it because I won't be repeating it again

[lkv]

Which is why I was asking for a second opinion, not yours. I understood your "understanding" from your first posts, so there is no need to repeat yourself.

Thanks.

This really is a pointless discussion but....

@lkv is right. You applied for an extension of stay. It was (not permitted) refused. The application fee for an extension of stay is non-refundable, therefore, spent and lost. Because the extension of stay was refused the IO can, at their discretion, issue 7 days to leave the country which, effectively, makes the 7 days free.

All that matters is you got what you wanted, but although you got what you wanted you didn't get what you asked for.

You're right it is a pointless discussion, like you say I got what I wanted
