Extending a Thai Visa: Thailand Visas IN Thailand

All 1 year visas sought for the Kingdom of Thailand are multiple entry visas meaning that they can only be obtained from outside of the country and they are only valid for 90 days at a stretch. This means that when staying in Thailand on a Thai visa it will be necessary to do a "border run" approximately every 90 days (this is not the case for all visa categories, for instance the Thai Education Visa allows the bearer to stay in Thailand uninterrupted for 1 year).

What does a Thai visa extension entail?

There are many requirements for obtaining a visa extension within Thailand including requirements that a company employing a foreigner must have a certain number of Thai employees before a visa extension may be sought. Also a foreigner must have obtained a work permit and make a legally mandated minimum salary before a Thai visa extension will be granted. Contact Integrity Legal for more information and a free consultation to see if a Thai visa extension is an option for you.

Can I leave Thailand once I have a Thai visa extension?

The holder of a Thai visa extension will always be entitled to leave Thailand, but the problem arises when a Thai visa holder wishes to leave Thailand and return upon the same visa. This happens most often in cases where the Thai visa holder must leave the Kingdom of Thailand for business purposes with the intention to later return to Thailand. This can be a real inconvenience because it will cause the automatic revocation of a Thai work permit.

The recipient of a Thai visa extension will lose their visa if they leave Thailand without first obtaining a reentry permit from the proper authorities at Royal Thai Immigration. Therefore it is a necessity to retain proper immigration advice and counsel when dealing with Thai Immigration matters.
