Karlo Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I arrived in Jan on a non o for 90 days ( married to Thai) and because of my return flight cancellation I extended my visa by 60 days. The visa expires early June, I have looked at immigration websites and see I do not need to extend the visa if i leave the country before the 31 July.... is this correct.

Matzzon Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Yes! You should be ok until the 31 of july. My friend just double checked that with Immigration by personal visit today. He was due today and they just smile and sent him on his merry way. ???? Edited May 27, 2020 by Matzzon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you all immigration offices are aware of the amnesty until July 31st. Offices have already told people about it and have signs posted about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quickmill Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 About the "amnesty" i can say that it worked in my situation. I went to submit docs for my first extension based to a Non O marriage ( i will swap from Non B so i was not sure about this case), the only issue i already was aware, it was the 10 days missed in the 2 months 400k deposit, ( my miscalculation from abroad transfer) the officer simply told me to back on 9th June even if my previous extension was expiring on 5th June and confirmed me ( both officers at counter M and L in Chaeng Wattana) that no overstay fee will be applied and even that i could back within 31st July. I have to admit that i found a very polite and helpful officers, by the way one of them tried to negate me the possibility to require the extension swapping from Non B to Non O, but i stay calm, i let her to finish to check all docs, she ask some questions to my wife and left us to go with her confirmation as wrote above. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can´t renew an extension outside the country. Extension inside and, mostly, visa outside. Meaning everything will be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlj Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Went to Chiang Mai Immigrations yesterday for my non-O extension there was very few people there and I had no problem getting my extension. I go back for the stamp on July 10th for the stamp. It only took about 30 minutes. Excellent experience with immigrations in Chiang Mai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally if you are going to give them the money they will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTC Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 As mentioned in another thread, I personally prefer to keep up with my visa extension chain. I submitted mine based on marriage on May 22nd. Reasons being it is very quiet at the office in Samui right now and I don't want to be part of any major rush when things get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inderpland Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have a 1 year NON-O multiple entry based on marriage from Savannakhet which expires in late September. As I understand it I can stay until 31st of July even if my current 3 months permit to stay expires 31st of May. Would I be able to get a 2 month extension on top of that (from 31st of July, reason; visiting family) or is that not know now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you could apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife on or before July 31st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuketDok Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I just renewed my Non-Imm OA Extension of Stay at the Phuket IO and I did not need to have Health Insurance. I was told this a week or so ago by one of the officers while doing a "stamp transfer" to a new passport. I am not sure why they are not requiring it anymore but I believe I heard them say it was because my Non Imm OA Visa was issued/activated prior to Oct, 2019. In addition to this pleasant surprise, the office was very quiet due to the Covid amnesty and the entire process took less than 20 minutes. I can only hope that this insurance requirement stays in place and extends out to all IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
