extension of Tourist visa

Sawasdee kap,

i usually stay ~90 days a year in LOS on a tourist visa which i extend at Patong immigration bureau the last 7 years without any problem.

Some rumours in other Thai-Forums during the last days told me, that Tourist Visa will be extended for only 7 days from now on.

Is that correct? can someone confirm this? Or is it still possible, to extend a 60 days Tourist Visa for another 30 days? And all rumours were only hot air

The source for these rumours have been wrong before so I doubt this will happen. The rumour said you could only extend for 7-14 days. I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere, 30 days tourist visa may only be extended be one week whilst 60 days tourist visas may be extendable by 30 days.

I am also interested to hear if there is any changes to this and hopefully we will receive reports soon. This may also depend on WHERE you extend your visa.

This was my first thought also, and hopefully this would be the truth!

Hopefully someone could report a positive extension at Patong Beach or Phuket Town immigration soon.

Patong immigration

Just got a 30 day extension at Patong immigration, no questions asked and service with a smile.

They tend to be nicer and speak better English at Patong Imm. compared to Phuket Town.

Hope this helps.
