Shit! I just realized that I have lost my departure card. May they have new ones at the immigration offices (or will I have to go to the airport to get one first)?

Sorry for the late reply. You should be fine. Immigration shouldn’t give you any trouble

The airline might depending on which company you are flying and from where. But that usually isn’t a problem. Just get to the airport early. If they require proof of ongoing travel out of Thailand, get online and buy a cheap one-way ticket to a neighboring country. You’ll lose some money, but they’ll let you on the plane.

Hi mark I have a flight booked to Thailand 1st October for a 6 week stay! Travel plans were last minute and I didn’t think about my allowance of only 30 days so I haven’t given myself time to apply for a tourist visa before I leave this Sunday! Will they allow me to extend my stay once I’m there if they see my return is over by 2 weeks or will they not let me enter without a visa already. Getting a little worried the airline will not let me change my dates.

I check up on the information every few months. It is all still valid from what I’ve found and the feedback I’ve received from site visitors.

Hi!

Is this article still up-to-date? I’m planning a six weeks trip in October/November and I would like to skip the pre-visa application.

Best regards,

You can’t extend at the airport. You have to go to the immigration office.

My husband and I just got our Thailand visa extension today, and we followed this article exactly! Thanks for the advice! I’ll add, we arrived in Thailand 4 days ago and already knew we wanted to stay 60 days so we went ahead to the office. We thought this might be a problem since the visa wasn’t expiring soon, but no problem!
