    Advice for non o Multi holders

    There would also be hoards at the Immigration office to avail of their normal 30 and 60 day extensions.

     

    Going to be s##t show everyhwhere once borders open and amnesty dropped...

    I respect Tonoshi and Ubonjoes opinions. In reference to my OP on this thread, I now assume the best course of action NOW is, to not apply for a 60 day extension even though the current permission to stay stamp expires mid April. Wait, until the Amnesty period is over, and then do a border hop OR go to immigration to apply for a 60 day extension. This is taking into account details contained in the OP which I'm sure apply to many.

    Here lies the problem, every IO all over the country will make up their own rules/interpretation of the amnesty.

     

    Clearly he is wrong but good luck trying to tell him that when you go for next extension.

     

    The amnesty is fine for tourists who are stuck here and leaving via airports (probably never to return) but longtermers might want at least check with their local IO.....could also forsee problems rocking up on a border run with a void extension of stay.

    So this is confusing. No-one can really say with certainty it seems.

    60 day extension now or after automatic extensions?

    The way I read this, if you not go for the regular 60-day extension you should have an automatic extension until 30 April.

    I think so. And if the Amnesty is not extended beyond the 30th April I assume there will be a grace period to apply for a 60 day extension. But, who knows?

    Guys, what you suggest is exactly what this amnesty was to prevent.

    Those with short term permission to stay not visiting the Immigration offices.

    You don't need to apply for 30, or 60 day extensions of any kind as your exempt and have permission to stay until further announcements, be it 1, 2, or 3 months.

     

    The cabinet didn't approve this order to not have foreigners huddled together like sheep, wondering if the guy in front or behind may be a virus carry. It was approved to protect the Immigration officers who had to go face to face with a hundred sheep, any one of whom could be carrying the virus.

    You had to bump shoulders with a few, whilst the IO's were forced to bump shoulders with hundreds

     

    Even those of us that have an annual extension are exempt 90 day reports until notified otherwise.

    The only visitors to Immigration should be the long stay termers who need to apply for their annual extensions. Everyone else 'stay home'.

     

     

    Exactly what I thought. In other words, if one's permission to stay stamp ends on the 25th of April and one applies for a 60 day extension after this permission to stay, say on the 29th of April, one still should be granted an extension.

    If your current entry stamp expires 14th April I would go and get your 60 day extension before the 14th. I don't know if any automatic extension until April 30th applies to Non-O visa holders.

     

    I'm in a similar, but better, situation my ME Non-O expires June 4th and my current stamp is until end May, so w inill go for a 60 day extension then, and a 1 extension after that as I'm fortunate enough to have funds in the bank.

    Good point about the 60 day extension. Maybe someone can shed some light on this one? Ubonjoe?

    This has possibly been brought up in other posts but I guess many would be in a similar situation. My multi non o visa expires June 25th 2020, current 3 month stamp permission to stay until 14th April.

    I suppose options are: 1. Extend for 60 days between now and 30th April (and longer depending on if Amnesty is extended). 2. Extend for one year. 3. If borders open after 30th April do a border hop and get another 90 days. My question is, are the above possible, and, can a 60 day extension be done after the permitted to stay stamp date (in my case 14th April)?   If I do a border hop after 30th April, and the Amnesty is not extended beyond then, will I be overstay up until the date I leave and, will my visa be made invalid if I overstay?

    Looking for some advice as to the best way to proceed, btw, I cannot do a one year extension at the moment due to inadequate funds. Thanks for any advice.

    Are these new requierements for visa extension?

    Are you sure that is a list for Bangkok immigration. I have seen no reports of all that being required there.

    It looks like the requirements at other offices.

    That is only for the 30 day special extension. You will be applying for the standard 60 day extension to visit you wife or children that doesn't require all of those.

    Ubonjoe: Just to clarify "you will be applying for the standard 60 day extension to visit your wife or children that require all of those." Do you mean that the standard 60 day extension does not require all of those? I assume just a typo.

    60 day extension non o address issue advice please.

    Currently have non o Multi expires June 2020.. Going to cw to apply for 60 day extension. Prior to this non o visa I had a retirement extension which expired June 2019, obtained through an agent. The agent did 90 day reporting for the retirement extension, using an isaan address (not my Bangkok address) for reporting. On obtaining the new non o multi marriage visa I did not do a tm30 to change my address to my actual Bangkok address so I assume the isaan address is still on immigrations system. I simply left the country every 3 months. I have all paperwork for a tm30 for my Bangkok address and the 60 day extension when I go to CW next week. What fireworks can I expect given my negligence of the updated tm30?

    We did the TM30 when we first arrived but have since spent a few nights in a hotel.  Asked the wife about that before we left and she failed to redo it when we returned.  luckily it was not an issue.

     

    I had everything Joe recommended in my other thread

     

     

    p.s.  after we filled out 3 separate forms at immigration.  the IO asked i write my name, passport number, and date on a blank page.  Then she asked me to write "need only 60 days" and sign.  Was strange since that is what all the other documents stated.  

    Cheers. Seems like it went fairly smoothly. Well done.

    Concerned about taking the mrs to immigration 60 day extension.

    Non imm o multi visa, married to Thai, entry stamp till 14th April, visa expires June 26th. My wife is a diabetic and is extremely susceptible to picking up an illness at the drop of a hat. Obviously I'm concerned about taking her to immigration in the current climate. If I do not go to immigration, I assume I will be on overstay after 14th April even though my visa runs till late June. Is this correct and will the non o visa automatically become invalid in the above case or can I still get a 90 day stay or 60 day extension at a later date? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't think CW is asking for a Kor Ror 2. A Kor Ror 2 is the marriage registry done when registered your marriage at an Amphoe. If you do not have it a printout of it can be requested at any Amphoe or Khet.

    You can completed the TM7 form in any color of pen other than perhaps red at CW. You can complete and print this one 2 sided after downloading it. Fillable TM7 form.pdf

    You will need your marriage certificate and a copy of it, copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card. Copies 

    You will need proof you are residing in Bangkok when you apply.

     

     

    Thanks Mr. Joe. Some posters have mentioned a photo of us together being needed. Any idea if this is true? And proof of residing in Bangkok is a photocopy of my lease agreement right?
