miniganger Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 My non o marriage visa as run but I am a little confused as I know the government said July 31 for all visa and no 90 day reports does this mean I don't have to go immigration till then.

steve187 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) has the actual visa that you obtained in another country expired or the 90 day permission to stay stamp you got on arrival in Thailand, what date does your permission to stay expire Edited June 2, 2020 by steve187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoshi Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If you normally make 90 day reports, then your on a marriage extension (a permit, not a Visa). You should renew your extension on the due date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Not sure what you have. If you have a non-o visa issued by a embassy or consulate you do not need to do any at immigration or leave the country until shortly before July 31st when your 90 day entry ends. If on extension of stay based upon marriage issued by immigration you need to apply for your extension before it expires. You do not need to do 90 day reports until after July 31st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have already used the 60 day extension you will have to leave and re-enter the country to get a new 90 day entry if your non-o visa is a multiple entry.

It is possible that if you do not renew before June 26 you will be unable to renew and must exit Thailand once the border opens I haven’t heard about anyone trying to renew late either good or bad.

But this won't be possible until the borders re-open, and it will also depend on neighboring countries too. Although it's too early to say now, but what do you think the chances are they might renew this amnesty, at least for another 1-2 months, given that by July 31 there may only be a limited range of travel options, even if it's easier than now. With this talk of "travel bubbles" at first, it seems unlikely that normal travel will resume in just under 2 months from now, unless the Thai authorities expect you to depart for say Myanmar (assuming they have re-opened by then) and will let you back in without difficulty afterwards.

Unlike you, I haven't done the 60 day extension yet but I won't be bothering with it, given i get the amnesty and the extension would take me until August 2, just 2 days beyond the amnesty deadline, so there's no point. I'm awaiting the announcement of a further extension of the amnesty, as I think there will still be some difficulties with travel during July...

They may extend the ministerial notice again if the borders crossings are not open and theri are still limited flights out of the country. I cannot predict what they will do. If not extended then you may be able to get a letter from your embassy and apply for a special 30 day extension. You would probably need proof you are unable to leave the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs to change his address he may need to do TM30 report and/or TM27 address change. He would need proof of his residence such as rental agreement and etc. There is no fee for a change of address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenZ Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Max69xl said: Annual extensions are not covered by the amnesty. According to the Thai Immigration information leaflet posted above they are. It specifically mentions "all types of visa". (please note the following is my opinion on what this leaflet means) If your extension expires in the period from May 1 to July 31, the extension is not required until after July 31 and "once the situation has resolved". This leaves the option of further amnesty after July 31. As everyone cannot get an extension on the same day, they will likely have some way to deal with this. My guess is they will offer a window of time (perhaps 2 weeks or so) in which to complete the application for extension, after July 31 and once the situation has resolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThaidDown Posted June 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2020 If you are on a one year non-o extension why wouldn't you do a further 1 year at the normal time since, by reports on here, immigration is not crowded? By not doing it what do you gain. On the negative side we have no idea how Immigration will schedule the extension applications after the 'amnesty'. possible crowding and long waits.. It is possible that with the amnesty gap that your extensions will not be deemed continuous. This could affect future possible 'grandfathering' and ,for 'marriage' extensions future pr or citizenship applications. (not fear-mongering only suggesting possibilities) Only my personal opinion, but see no downside doing further 1 year extension on time. Did mine last week, only took 15 minutes, now covered 'til June 2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say what happens on July 31 if the borders to countries where we can get Non-O-MEs or new entries on them are still closed, either. 18 hours ago, drbeach said: Same as me, but that would mean July 31.

Yes - we really don't know what will be up with making Visa trips at this point. I am also on a Non-O-ME entry. If no good news by July 10 or so, I am planning to find the nearest country that will let me in - even if I have to qurantine on arrival. It's ironic - I have a Thai work-permit and well over the required income for a marriage-extension, but may become a "digital nomad" working from Vietnam or somewhere, because Immigration (Chiang Wattana) make it nearly impossible to get an extension based on income, now - and BOI will not process an extension for someone here on a Non-O marriage-based visa-entry.

Annual extensions are not covered by the amnesty. You are wrong all permissions to stay are covered. The poster of the graphic above should have included the one under. this includes annual extensions. BUT there is no guarantee that anyone who stays beyond the permission to stay into the amnesty period will be able to get any kind of extension beyond the end of the amnesty period. SO yes annual extensions are included BUT you may have to exit Thailand once the amnesty period (it may be extended again) finishes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an annual extension that is expiring and you wish to stay in Thailand you should renew as normal. If you do not Renew you may have to leave, and as the conditions for return are not at all clear you may not be able to return for a long time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fit into this category, with an annual retirement extension that expires in July. I will go to renew on time just in case your "may" becomes "definitely".

You would probably need proof you are unable to leave the country. I see. Well let's hope they continue with the generous amnesty rather than going back to complicated methods like an embassy letter. My gut feeling is I don't see a return to normal border crossings during July, so an extension of a month or two, seems likely. I don't see another 3 month extension, since it doesn't look like it will take that long for normal travel to resume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
