Is a grace period allowed on Extension of Stay. I have miscalculated by a day or so, and just remitted my 800,000 baht today. My renewal is due on 22 May, and it may not arrive today.

are you married to a Thai, if so you could get a 60 day visit Thai wife or child

No, and it's a retirement visa.

There is no grace period. After the date your extension ends you are on a overstay. Most immigration offices would allow you to pay the 500 baht a day fine for the overstay and allow you to apply for the extension if it was only a few days.

If it is in the bank tomorrow you would be able to apply on May 22nd since it would be in the bank for the 3 months on that day since that is the required amount of time (it is not 90 days).

 

Thanks Joe. If I get my letter from the bank on the Friday 19th May do you think that is that going to be OK. I will have to prove it's still in the account on 22nd May by the 100 baht deposit.

Just do a bank book update on the 22nd and you should have no problems.

FYI. It's an extension of stay, not a visa. And if you were married you could still apply for a 60 day extension even if the expiring extension had been granted on the basis of retirement (over 50).

Has anyone using Chaengwattana had experience of being a day / days late and having to pay a fine?

 

(Hoping my TT will be in my account tomorrow, but anticipating the worst.)

They will do it after you pay the overstay fine. There have been reports of them doing it.

There are very few offices that would not.

Where does one pay the overstay fine? At CW, or elsewhere? If at CW is it fairly obvious where?

At CW. The IO processing the late extension will deal with it.

Thanks. I assume that if I tried to do the Extension on the 22nd May (my due date), and the deposit only reached the full 3 months on the 23rd, they would not process it, and would ask me to re-submit on the 23rd, and pay the one day's fine; is that how it works? Viz, they need the 3 months and 1 or 2 days short is not going to cut it.

If you went on the 22nd and the money was not there for 3 months until 23rd they could use their discretion and do it or tell you to come back the next day and pay the 500 baht overstay fine before applying for the extension.

Thanks Ubonjoe & Elviajero. Happily funds credited to my account today, so they match the 22nd May due date. Not a miscalculation I want to repeat, given the levels of stress I experience even when I have my ducks in a row.
