VINCE22 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hello all I had a retirement Visa which ran out 3 April this year having had extentsions early (the last was 28 Feb) I was advised just to get another extension until 28 May and renew my Visa before the extension ran out but of course when I went to renew I was refused due to Visa ending 3 April 2017 maybe I miss understood and should have reapplied before 3 April ....my question is can I fly out to Singapore on my Visa extension and get a Tourist Visa with no problems or do I have to pay overstay and even worse will I have other problems ....this is the first time I have had a problem.

ubonjoe Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 What do you actually have? Only a permit to stay is extended. If your extension of stay ended on April 3rd you are now on an overstay. You will be fined the max fine of 20,000 baht for an overstay when you leave the country. The daily fine is 500 baht. There are no 3 month extension for retirement. Only a one year extension is possible. Perhaps you are confusing 90 day reports with extensions of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketjock Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This appears to be another perfect example why using the correct terminology regarding visas/extensions/permission to stay is imperative to avoid unending confusion!!!! and in this case possibly massive fines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamkyong Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 whilst i agree terminology does certainly help i think not everyone is up to date so this is why TV is a successful forum that it is versatile, via the posters, to accommodate the less well informed in a kindly manner and therefore the posters will learn all about the correct terminology for future use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above being an example of this, the op appears to have been incorrectly informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
