How far in advance will Nong Khai renew an extension? My extension expires 9 March 2009 and I may have to return to Australia maybe 5 weeks earlier than that. Is 5 weeks prior to expiry too much to expect?

I think you should be okay but don't quote me. A little bit different. I had a 'O' visa issued in the UK which expired in August 2008. I went to the immigration at the end of June 2008. They gave me the year extension which expires in August 2009.
Don't forget to get your exit re-entry permit otherwise any visa becomes invalid

John,
I dont think you will have any problems.
I renewed mine in Nong Khai on 5th August and didnt expire till 8th September.

Why not just ring them and ask?


Never re-invent the wheel, when it doesn't need to be.

I am in Australia at the moment. If i was in udon I would have driven up to NK and asked.

Thanks for the replies.

I extended about six weeks before the expiration data of my retired guy's visa in Bangkok a few years back. The reason was that I was going to be out of the country for the whole month before.

They asked that I give them a hand-written letter making the request. The Manager seemed very happy that I had brought my air tickets with me, and they wanted a copy of those as well.

No doubt, Nong Khai will want something different, but I hope this little story improves you picture of your situation.
