Your extension,started early enough.
An extension is the same application every year, and it goes wrong for the same reason every year: something in the file is dated wrong. We start early enough that the bank letter is still fresh when the officer reads it.
Ask about your extensionHua Hin Visa Concierge is a private visa and immigration administration agency. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. All applications are decided by the Thai authorities, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
This page is about timing.
Bring us the file before your permission to stay expires. Earlier is not better, because some documents go stale. Later is worse, because some cannot be replaced in a week.
Ask when to start yours
Too early
See detailsDocuments gathered months in advance have a habit of expiring before they are read. Starting sooner does not make the file stronger, it makes it older.
The right weeks
See detailsThere is a stretch where everything in the file is fresh at once. We work back from the date your permission to stay ends and tell you which week that is.
Close to the date
See detailsTell us anyway. Late is a smaller problem than overstay, and the difference between them is usually a few days and one phone call.
Four steps, once a year
The same four every year, which is the point. You should not have to relearn this.
We check the dates
Your permission to stay, your bank letter, and anything else in the file that carries an expiry. That tells us the week to begin.
We collect what changed
Most of the file is the same as last year. We ask you only for the parts that are not.
We prepare and file
We complete the application and take it to the office.
You get the file back
Passport, receipts, and the date your next filing is due, written down.
What changes, and what does not
Most of an extension file is last year's file. The parts that move are the parts that catch people.
What changes each year
Some of the file is reissued annually and some of it stands. We send you the current list for your case, marked so you can see which items to refresh and which to leave alone.
Nothing on that list is published here until it has been checked, because a list that was right last year is exactly how an application gets sent home.
If you have left it late
Tell us anyway. We would rather see the passport today than a fortnight from now, and the conversation is short either way.
What it costs
Our fee is quoted in writing before we start, and separate from the government fee, which you will see on the receipt.
Extension questions, straight answers
If yours is not here, it takes one message to ask, and you will hear back within 24 hours.
How early should I start?
Early enough that the bank letter is still fresh on the day the officer reads it, and late enough that nothing else in the file has expired. We work back from your permission-to-stay date and tell you the week to begin.
Is the extension the same thing as the visa?
No. The visa is how you entered. The extension is permission to stay longer, applied for from inside Thailand, and it is the thing you renew each year.
What if my circumstances have changed?
Tell us at the first conversation. A change of address, a change of bank or a change of income all affect the file, and each is easier to handle before it is assembled than after.
Do I still have to do 90-day reporting?
Yes. The extension and the 90-day report are separate obligations, and the second one arrives quietly. We track both dates and tell you before each is due.
What happens if I miss the date?
You are into different territory, and it is dealt with rather than argued about. Come and see us, or message us on WhatsApp or LINE, and we will tell you plainly where you stand.
Can you guarantee it will be approved?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says yes. Every application is decided by the Thai authorities. What we can do is make sure nothing in your file gives them a reason to say no.
Start your extension.
Tell us the date your current permission to stay ends and where your funds sit. Within 24 hours you will have the week to begin, the list, and a fee quote.
One message is enough
No documents needed yet. Tell us what you hold, when it ends and what you need, and you will hear back within 24 hours.
