mallet36 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi all not sure if this has been covered yet or not but I will ask anyway. A friend who has been working for a language school for over 12 years went to the immigration office last week to get his yearly extension was told he cannot get 12 months any more only 90 days at a time at a cost of 1900 baht each time. Can anyone confirm this to be true as our local immigration office are famous for being not very helpful towards foreigners. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It must be a local rule. There have been no changes made to the police order for extensions of stay that states an extension can be done for up to one one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe he lives about 60 kms from Pattaya would he be able to go there and get a 12 month extension instead of the one he uses now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 mallet36, your friend could call the immigration hotline 1178 and see if they will give the immigration officer in question some guidance regarding the correct procedure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done that already and CW is backing the imm office That does not surprise me, it is well known that immigration offices make up their own rules and are allowed to do so.

jimcarr65 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sriracha is notorious for issuing 90 day and 6mos extensions of stay. Take the extra trip to Jomtien Soi 5 and you will be treated fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGV Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You must use an office in the province you reside Pattaya and Sri Racha are in Chonburi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You must use an office in the province you reside Pattaya and Sri Racha are in Chonburi If there are two offices in the province where you live or work the designation is done by district. Pattaya is only for Pattaya, Banglamung and Sattahip districts. Sri Racha is for the remainder of the province. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
