jimmiejackson Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi everyone, I have a friend who's a Chinese citizen who's struggling to find the correct information, and having searched all over Google and the Bangkok immigration website I'm not getting many clear answers. Two main questions: 1 - can she extend a 15 day VOA entry at CW? If so, how long will the extension be? 2 - she has had 3 tourist visas for Thailand issued in China in the past. Every time she has been given 30 days on entry. Can she extend at CW for 30 days for CW? (If you can provide a link to the actual rule on this that would be great too!) thanks as ever for your assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fithman Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 1.A VOA cannot be extended. 2. Tourist visas issued to Chinese citizens provide for a 60 day initial stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The rules for the extension of stay "for tourism purpose" are in clause 2.4 of https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B34mNX-szfYVWUF6YnA3Q2hNMEk/view?usp=drivesdkA tourist who entered with a visa on arrival does not qualify for this extension.

ubonjoe Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 1. The longest extension she can get is 7 days to leave the country after applying for an extension and paying 1900 baht for it. 2. She should be getting 60 day entries from tourist visas. Are you sure she was not issued a transit visa that is for 30 days. She can apply for a 30 day extension for a tourist visa entry.

jimmiejackson Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks for your comments. I will be able to check her passport when she arrives soon and see exactly what entries were given and for how long as she may misunderstand what she had. Good to know she can extend for 30 days, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
