Visa Exemption Extension

[Bonanza]

I have a friend planning a visit from UK and wishing to stay for about six weeks. If he arrives and gets a 30 day 'Visa Exemption' at Bangkok airport, is it possible to get his stay (ie visa) extended at Udon Immigration? Has anyone actually done this?

Thanks

You can get an extension giving another 30 days on a visa exempt entry at any immigration office.

I haven't done it but I have never heard of it being refused.

It cones under section 2.4 of police order 327/2557

The 90 day report is up to 15 days early or 7 days late, if in Udon and your extension date is less than 90 days after you report Udon IOs have been shortening the 90 days to match the extension date.
