Thai Visa questions
Q: I am currently staying in Koh Samui on my vacation.
I entered Thailand with a tourist visa and was granted a permission to stay for 60 days until the end of this month. However, I wish to stay longer. What should I do?
A: You may apply for an extension of stay at any Immigration Office in Thailand
where you may be permitted to stay for another 30-day period. You must do so
before your stay permits expires, otherwise you will be fined 500 Baht for each day you overstay in Thailand.
Their main office in Bangkok is at Soi Suan Phlu, Sathorn Tai Road, Bangrak, Bangkok ... Tel 02 251-9274 to 6, 02 251-9393 to 7. The length of the extension will depend on what visa you have.
If you have a tourist visa and you stayed already 2 months in thailand, you can get an extra month at the immigration office, the price of the visa extension is 1900 bahts and you need a picture and a photocopy of your passport (you must sign each copy), you can get copies and pictures at the opposite of the immigration office.
The immigration office is located in Bangkok, Sathorn Thai road, soi Suan Phlu, if you want to tell the taxi driver the thai name for the office is 'tow mow'. It is closed on saturday and sunday.
