AYJAYDEE Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Friend with thai wife wants to get a Non-O 90 day and go to thailand early November and then apply for 60 day extension at the end of January. His passport will expire in early June however and he is wondering if they will give him an extension with only 4 months left on passport. Any suggestions??

BritTim Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If it was me, I would get a new passport. However, there is no reason he could not get the extension in January on the old passport if recognizing that most overseas travel he might contemplate will not be possible. The question is why put yourself in a position that might end up being extremely inconvenient when a new passport will soon be necessary anyway?

With less than 6 months validity on the passport travel would be restricted and the OP would most likely have to ensure he had a direct fight home.

Immigration will issue the extension as long as he has a passport valid for the length of stay the extension allows. If the passport had less validity than the length of the extension they will issue the extension up to the date the passport expires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
