    Amnesty ending July 31

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Hi all,

    My 90 day Non-Immigrant O based on Marriage expired May 18 and I'm currently under the amnesty umbrella until July 31st.

     

    I'm assuming we should hear something soon.

     

    Assuming that there'll be no further amnesty period, is it right that I can just apply for a 60 day extension before July 31st?

     

    Thanks and regards,

    Gary

    Considering staying put, any cv19 Insurance leads?

    Against all better judgement re returning to Aus (for however long that's possible either end, noting on the Scoot website a resumption of departures from April 6 or so), I'd feel a lot better if I could find a little insurance for this cv19. I don't have a base there at present but do have medical coverage at least.

     

    I've looked high and low in the kingdom, only having planned on being here 15 days in Jan/Feb, but now unable to get back to the CN capital for resumption of work. With wife in north central a bit, on a 90 day through until mid May. 

     

    Anyone else been able to source a little insurance for peace of mind at least? I know many only offer 100k thb for cv19 treatment, still,  it's better than nothing. Seems you must be here for 6 months or hold a work permit to qualify.   Regards and take care

    Firstly I apologise as I know this is probably repetative and boring, however I can't find anything about my situation within the forums.

     

    It seems that simply being in the kingdom on a 90 day permission to stay - based on marriage doesn't allow the buying of a policy for some cv19 coverage (I do know these are pretty modest benefits anyway of 100k). Wife has helped me look, amongst others - tipinsure, to no avail

     

    Although I don't expect to find any coverage now, I just thought I might throw the net out a bit wider onto the forum to hear from anyone who hasn't been a work permit / >6 months resident and who might have been able to purchase some coverage.

     

    I can't get back to China yet where I work. (I know). So I'm just trying to make best decisions with this bloody thing, as we all are now, I know. 

     

    I've ordered a good book.

     

    Take care all, please. And thanks for any advice you might be able to share.

     

    Regards,

    Gary

    Dear TV brains trust much greater than I,

     

    I married my Thai wife last December, and subsequently entered the kingdom from Savannakhet on a single entry O based on marriage for 90 days.

     

    My question is (and I've not been able to find anything similar here in the forum): I now work permanently (and perhaps on an ongoing basis) in the Chinese capital and have done for six months.

     

    I have no real need practically speaking to visit other than a short holiday now.

     

    Once having entered the kingdom on an O based on marriage (per above) early January this year, can I enter a little further down the track on a 30 Visa exemption next January for a holiday with my wife? (I'm Australian)

     

    Thank you and regards

    Understood with thanks ubonjoe,

    Upon re-entry, you would get another 90, within the confines of the same permit to stay date you had when you left the country.

     

    If I was granted a single entry O based on marriage and needed to leave (just the once) for work outside the kingdom, I would need a Re-Entry Permit, then upon re-entry, be issued another 90 days within the confines of the originally issued permit to stay date.

     

    Merry Christmas to you ubonjoe and thank you

    Dear TV brainstrust,

    I've not been able to find an answer to this on the forum so though I would ask please. If needing to leave the Kingdom whilst on an O visa (marriage) using a Re-Entry Permit, how is the original validity of the O visa affected? Do the 12 months as originally issued (in 90 day amounts of course) keep ticking away whilst outside Thailand?

     

    Thanks and regards, GaryA

    Dear all,

    Humble new forum member here, taking onboard a quote from a long standing member I read previously in this thread - that I too would like to use the thread/forum to learn and stay on the right side on Thai law. 

     

    Have proposed to Thai gf of two years and anticipate an exit to Savannakhet within a few weeks, to apply for an O visa based on marriage.

     

    Can I seek advice from those who may have crossed more recently please, whether old reports of the Thai consulate in Savannakhet not requesting proof of funds for a single O visa application might still stand please?

     

    Thank you
