Does Jomtien accept extension up to 30 days or last day?

[easyride]

My apologies if this has been asked a zillion times.

For 20 years I was happy with 90 days here then 90 days at home..

After the latest goal post movement I am entitled to only a 60 day single entry tourist visa.

I can live with that but searching these forums gives some confusing info,

My 2nd month starts today,can I visit Jomtien (I only want Jomtien info) immigration to extend my visa now?

Can I visit Jomtien within the next 30 days?

Must I go on the last day?

My reasoning is that some posts have said they went early and were told to return on the last day???

Showing respect how should I dress?

Thank you.

You should apply for the extension of stay during the last week of your permitted stay.

Do not turn up in beach wear and without a shirt !

You cannot do a 30 day extension of a 60 day tourist visa entry 30 days early. You should be able to do a week or so early.

Jomtien does often tell people to come back later if they are busy but I don't think theywant them to be done on the last day.

Many thanks for the info.

I gather there's a shop that does the photos and ensures the paperwork is OK. Ant idea of cost?

Oh for the days of Soi Chayapoon and the like.

I went 9 days before my permission to stay expired.

Suggest you read this thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/887129-30-day-tourist-day-extension-at-the-pattaya-immigration-office/

Lots of advice from helpful people especially UbonJoe. Post #20 details my experience in March this year. Oh and yes, dress respectfully - I wore a pair of long trousers (chino style), and a collared (polo style) shirt.

Thank you so much for pointing me at that thread. It contains everything that I'd been looking for.

I spent hours performing searches for just that info and ubonjoe has indeed been very helpful.

.I'll also visit 9 days prior to the visa running out to avoid a Friday.

Are we expected to fill out the Foreigner Info form I read about?.

You're welcome.

I didn't have to fill in the new Immigration form because AFAIK, it didn't exist then. I don't think it relates to SETV which you have but as i have no specific knowledge, i won't muddy the waters.

I suggest you look at the threads specifically related to the new form eg this one http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/911375-confusion-over-controversial-new-immigration-form/
