Address reporting within last 30 days of extension of stay?

[thuisinthailand]

Hi all,

Our current extension of stay (based on retirement) is due to expire beginning of June. However, we are due for address reporting on May 15. Now I have read somewhere that it is already possible to apply for extension of stay within the last 30 days of the current extension (that would save us one address reporting trip to Immigration), but I have also read it is only possible within the last 7 days.

Now we are also on Samui, so maybe some more specifics for this particular Immigration?

Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Al.

I cannot speak about Samui immigration from personal knowledge but it should be possible to renew the extensions and do the 90 day report in one visit.

I suggest you check with the office.

I take that you have already notified your change of address.

We did not change address. It's just that on Samui matters always seem a little different then elsewhere...

The "within the last 7 days" is only, I think, for tourist entries/visa exempt entries at certain offices. For retirement extensions, within the last 30 days seems always acceptable, and some offices will even stretch that to 45 days.

Clearly you are well informed.

If you now live in Samui and have not notified your change of address then you can expect problems.

As I said, we did not change address. Lived on Samui last year and still do.... We'll check with the office anyway. Thanks all for replying.

Then why post misleading statements ?
