fishtank Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You will get the extension till 15th April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Only disadvantage is that you would be moving your Extension renewal date into the usual Songkran period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yes your only going to lose few weeks however you have plenty of time to renew your pp prior to April 15. Either way no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I would definitely renew my passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herfiehandbag Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 won't your (new) passport, if you renew it early, be valid until the expiry date + ten years of the one which you have renewed? I didn't put that very well did I? Your renewed passport will be valid until April 15 2032, no matter how early you renew it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the policy changed a few years ago. Now you just get 10 years from the date the new passport is issued, regardless of when the old one expires.

Yme Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 You need to have 18 months validity on your passport at the time of renewal in order to get a 12 month extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you do not. That is only required when applying for a multiple entry non immigrant visa at a embassy or consulate. All that is required for a extension is a valid passport. If less than 12 months remaining it will only be issued to the date the passport expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not True !!! You get renewal, in OP's case, until date of PP expiry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Passports are issued by your country of origin, unless you're a citizen already in Thailand, which he/she isn't. can't figure out from the picture on profile. Unless i've been on helium or something,it just doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of them can accept a passport application and issue a passport. My current passport was applied for at my embassy here and few weeks later I picked it up at the embassy.

Isn't the fact that his immigration office (Nonthaburi) is the roguest of them all more than enough for him to have on his plate in its own right without having Songkran-related hassles thrown into the mix as well?

Actually in all my dealings with Nonthaburi I have never had any problems. I have always found them ok... when I changed from ‘money in the bank’ to ‘pension’ they actually talked to my bank to explain what was the bit of paper they wanted as no one at the bank seemed to know.. I was a little concerned when I read that passport renewals were taking eight or more weeks but have decided to reapply now. I get caught up with the Songram mob every year anyway as I try to renew one month early...just in case. I also think that at my age loosing the best part of one years passport longevity will not matter..I have trouble keeping up with MrsJ when we golf now!

Actually the picture is of my Aging Asian Babe...an avid golfer. unfortunately for you, I don’t think Spec Savers are coming to Thailand anytime soon, of course there are other options available... that stuff you are on, I’m finding that with advancing years I have less energy, do you think it might help... ????
