themechanic Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Any recommendations for a service in Phuket that can do a painless "guaranteed" extension of a 60 day tourist visa (for another 30 days)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Jeez.......you are totally helpless here in Thailand, aren't you? Try doing it yourself. Half an hour to an hour. You going to start a thread on how to get to immigration? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to start a thread on how to get to immigration? If the OP wants to throw his money away then let him. No doubt your nearest 'lawyer' office will sort it out for a nice fat fee. On top of the 1,900 baht immigration fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Don't think you'll find one for less that 10,000 Bt. One visa agent quoted me 30,000 Bt to get a one year retirement extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 All you need is 1900 Baht, your passport and 2 passport pictures, any photo shop can take care of that, and go to the immigration office in Phuket Town or in Patong. It is as easy as buying a pack of milk. Any taxi, tuktuk or motorcycle taxi driver knows where these offices are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30,000 baht would include the 800,000 baht 'seasoning'. Most likely cheaper than 10,000 baht, more like 5,000 baht, plus the 1,900 baht.

themechanic Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I really don't get all the negativity in my recent threads. Most of you have Western passports. I don't. I have extensive experience with being treated like a leper by immigration authorities worldwide, because of the color of my passport. That's why I would gladly pay an agent to make everything go smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Really, getting a 30 days extension to a tourist visa is just a formality, absolutely nothing can go wrong. No worries mate, at immigration they are seeing lots of people who hold non Western passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one of the reasons as to why I am so cautious is that my passport is a "no visa run" passport, I.e I can't get another tourist visa from neighboring countries.

This does not matter in case you are after a 30 day extension for your tourist visa. No problem what so ever to get this extension regardless from which country you are. As long your country is on the list of legible countries for the 30 day extension off-course. If not, a visa agent will not make any difference.

BANGLADESH, INDIA, IRAN, NEPAL, NIGERIA, PAKISTAN, SRI LANKA, UGANDA, TOGO So even using an agent the O/P, who has stated in other threads that he is Indian, would only get a 7 day extension. Sounds like it would barely be worth the Baht 1900 fee and far less so if an agent's commission is added onto that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themechanic Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thank you for posting that list. This is exactly the kind of crap that I was worried about. I will start exploring other options now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between an immigration officer seeing "the colour of your passport" and your photo in the hands of an agent, or seeing it with you present?

glassdude007 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you leave Thailand to India for a week or so for buissness then return to Thailand with 30 day stamp at entry then extend that 7 days is an option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
