Non-F visa, possible to be extended for 30 days?

[waxpro]

Hello guys,

would like to ask if possible to extend Non-F visa after expiry date to another month,

As other types of visas that could be extended to 30 days and pay 1900 THB,

For the Non-F is also possible? and what are the needed requirements to prepare?

Thanks.

Generally speaking only  entries gained from tourist visas or the visa exempt scheme are eligible to be extended by 30 days.

 

I doubt you would qualify for other than a 7 day 'extension'.

Based on the extract I posted it seems an extension is possible.

That may well be true but not for 30 days!

It's a non immigrant visa, therefore, 1 year extensions for retirement/marriage etc would be available.

 

There is no 30 day extension available.

"The extension of stay as well as the change of certain type of visa is solely at the discretion of the Immigration officer."

 

As written, and in relation to just an extension of stay, nothing seems excluded.  Of course there may be other rulings or policies out there that are more specific.

Guys,, to repeat for clarification,

The question here is not about obtaining Non-F, or what is used for etc..

Just to know if possible can extend it for 2-3 weeks time after expiry date,

so please focus the replies at this point,

thank you

You cannot get any extension of a non immigrant visa entry without specific supporting documents for it.

It is not the same as applying for an extension of a tourist visa entry.

To repeat what has been previously written --- The answer is NO. 

 

You could apply for an extension which will be refused and you will be given a 7 day period in which to leave the country (1900 Bht)  OR you could leave the country by air or land and return for a visa exempt entry of 30 days which IS extendable for another 30 days for a fee of 1900Bht (assuming you are from a country which qualifies)

Well NO is your answer, but not necessarily the best or final answer.  As others have responded, special documentation may be required for requesting an extension of stay for an F visa. The F visa is not that common a visa and I am pretty sure few people have much direct experience with it.
