pritch84 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Like the title says, just wondering if I can waddle my fat arse into Phuket Immigration and get a 30 day extension to my Non Immigrant B visa as I'm leaving overseas next month on holiday so only need a few weeks and saves me a visa run. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are married to a Thai lady you could get a 60 day extension 'to visit your wife' ................ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch84 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Someone elsewhere seems to think you can get a 30 day extension with a multiple entry non B 1 year visa Anyone an expert on this or tried recently? :S Exact Quote: " if u have a 1 year non B visa u should get a 30 dayIf u have a 1 year EXTENSION and u lose ur wp u will ONLY get 7 days to leave Meaning is everything.ALSO:If u have a 1 year Non B visa ( issued outside thialand) If you do a border run just before the Visa expires you will get another 90 days.Giving a total of 15 months."

perthperson Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Someone elsewhere seems to be mistaken 1. If you attempt to enter the country with a non valid B visa you will get a 30 day visa exempt entry. 2. leaving the country whilst on an extension of stay without a re-entry permit results in a 30 day stamp on return 3, "If u have a 1 year EXTENSION and u lose ur wp u will ONLY get 7 days to leave" --- True and the fee is 1900 Bht 4, " If u have a 1 year Non B visa ( issued outside thialand) If you do a border run just before the Visa expires you will get another 90 days.Giving a total of 15 months." ----- Also true . If your visa is still valid then leaving and returning will get you another 90 day stay. There is no 30 day extension you can get with your visa whilst in Thailand. If you wish to check then call into the immigration office either in Phuket Town or Patong and ask. Edited July 19, 2017 by perthperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch84 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'm believing you but i'll give a call to be sure in the morning! Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a tourist visa entry can be extended for 30 days. There is no 30 day extension possible for a non immigrant visa entry other than if you were sick and could not travel.
