Immigration makes the following annoucement:
Announcement
According to the New Regulation from August 13, 2013,
when submitting application for Visa Extension if the validity of passport of the applicant is not longer than one year left before expiry,
the extension of stay will be permitted not exceeding the expired date of passport.
After the renewal of your passport of obtaining a new passport,
you have to re-apply for Visa Extension by submitting required document and paying extension fee ( 1,900 Baht ).
In case of overstay, the fine is 500 Baht per day.

In the past when your passport expired, you would get a permission to stay until the expiry date of your passport. When you had a new passport you returned to immigration to transfer the details to the new passport and get the remainder of the extension of stay placed in your new passport for free.
The new policy means that now when you get a new passport because the old one has expired you have to apply for a new extension of stay, with all the accompanying paperwork and of course pay the usual extension fee of 1,900 baht.
This will mean more paperwork and a better preperation for people who's passport is about to expire.

Apparently that is just one of a few new changes that are suppose to be happening.
I am not quite sure why it was not all announced at the same time?
What the other changes to extensions are, are anyone's guess. When they are expected, is also anyone's guess :wacko:
p.s. ..... assume you are open tomorrow Dave?
