There is nothing wrong with your plan of a 90-day permission to stay on a single entry Non O visa and a 60-day extension of your permission to stay. The only item that you need to verify is that your insurance covers up to $100,000 for treatment of Covid-19 in Thailand. Your insurance must specifically specify that this is true either on the insurance agreement itself, or on an official letter from the insurance company. Unless the Covid cover is unambiguous, you may need to arrange 90-day Covid cover separately (no cover is necessary for the extension period).

Thanks for your response.  I failed to mention my usa ins will not cover c19 so I will purchase from Lumina or one of the Th rip-offs for 90 days; what a waste but  necessary.  Thanks BT 

72yr old USA need advice of best way to get  120 days  beginning a few months from now.  I and Thai/US wife wish to com in late this year have visited  3-5 months annually and we are healthy with also having

the 2 shot Modena  and have health ins  (Medicare and Tricare for life).  We will prob go the quar route in Bk and we have House/car at our disposal while in NEastern province.  Can I get 90 day Non O to stay with wife and then apply for 60 day enxtion (again) to stay with wife?

I am requesting advice from one of the experts, please.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for answers!

Emb is too busy.    Thank for your reply.

Can someone who has traveled recently enlighten me with how to find the repat flights in the near future..  Thanks in advance!

Sorry Non O visa

Where can one find a dependable schedule of flights to catch outbound to USA?  Thinking about Feb/Mar timetable.  ANA, JAL, EVA and even Lufthansa Airways.  I dont wish to buy a ticket and maybe lose the fare or course. Thanks

This BS in just non-sence making its way to a result. If you were following Thai Visa for awhile you may understand.  Frankly not so easy for me.

To the core of your post, I think you should check out the current(sometime a joke) website and determine there are flights under which only certain Thais and Non Thais can re-enter now. Previously, do not know what it will be on Monday, Thais have flown without testing but with paying for their fare from the scheduled repatriation-scheduled location.  That may have developed/changed. Check out the website daily--as maybe your  lady understands how to get home ; there process is much easier than for that of an expat.  No criticism, just reality.

And, yes they have to position their departure to of the original  repatriation international site.  Live in  Denver and your flight, by necessity or by design, you may have to pay for the flight for DEN to LAX or SFO,etc.

Wake up tomorrow am and check it again.  Good Luck

Great to know, again, thanks

I hope your are correct but the website says visa are only valid for 90 days after application is approved.  Any reference? thanks

Thank you Peter Dennis.

I'm over 70 but that is good info for other members.

I have had problems with contacting embassy in us.

BTW--Is there an "agent" in USA that will take care of this application process?

Sorry if I left something out, but I have most of those bases covered.  Ins for c10 for one year is almost 1K$ or if  you know better I still wish you input.  I have pre selected "digs".  Ridiculous is a bit strong but I respect your opinion and thanks for your response.

From USA I am requesting a COE along with a O1 multi entry visa.  Everything I have seen says I must have c19 insurance cover for the period of the visa.  I intend to leave Thailand after around 50 days of entry as I need to be in the USA at that time.  If I purchase C19 ins for a year most of ins carriers will stop the coverage when I leave Thailand OR I will be paying for the period (maybe 3-4 months) for nothing.

I have tried to phone the consulate with no luck.

Anyone had some experience with this?

What about a Non O multi in this same situation?

The length of your stay in Thailand - likely 1 year given you won't be going anywhere once you're in

can you please expand on that.

My  Thai Wife and I were married in 1975, well recorded as we were married by the Ampur official In Lop Buri.  More that a few visa(s)/extensions, etc since and Yes, still married, live both in USA and in Thailand annually.

Never been asked for a Kor XX, just presented notarized, Thai and English marriage certificate to IO but the last time extending for marriage was over 5 years ago.  Do I/we need to provide this document?  If yes, YGBSM, but OK.  Thanks

UBJoe,  Thank you once again for your extended knowledge base of what is often a blind alley to many of us.  You Sir, are a respected gentleman. MVB 

Does the cash in bank and other requirements apply to the 60 day extension (I am now on ext for retirement) too?

I could have the  funds within a week ( 2 xfers from US ), but I had planned to slip my stay until date to mid March.  I guess I could preposition the cash, get a 60 day extension, and then apply here for the ext Non O married to Thai.  Am I missing something?

Also, how much new documentation is needed for 60 day ext?

Thanks UBJoe,  This is a lot to consider.  Before I thought the USA NonO was for 1 yr, their site says little or nothing about 90 day exits/re-entries.  Do they require exit at 90 days or allow them? 

Currently in Thailand on Non O/with mult extensions for retirement, with a 'week 2' Feb 2020 expiration and no funds yet deposited for

extension of stay.  'had a optical related health issue, went to US and now all well.

Also, do not wish to wasted the $'s on insurance as I am 100% covered outside of TH.  

First question:  Is there any extension I can purchase for a 1 month or other intermediate period other that a week? 

I Am considering applying for a Non Im O visa to visit with Thai spouse, thru the Washington DC consulate upon return to USA.

(assuming Q#1  is unacceptable)?  I have studied the Thai consulate, DC, website and they seem to mix details for single entry and multi entry together.  

 Second Question:  "Validity"-- does this mean I have a full year to arrive in TH from day from 'stamp of approval' ?  (website indicated its 90 days but this may be for the single entry). questions will be appreciated.

Advice on the above questions will be appreciated.

Thanks, MVB

I am not aware of the distinction;  I am married to a Thai citizen, no other family.

Thanks, UBJoe.

Since I have been out of Th for med work I have lost track, if there is one, for what docs and prep do I need to take to IMO (kk) ?

Tx

I have a Non O issued in Washington DC 2014 w/extensions (ret) since.  I'm 70yr USA so local health ins is worthless given I have 3 dif ins coverages from retirement benefits. Not all ins coverage will apply here but some do.

My Th/USA wife (40+yr has no IM issues) resides w/ me in TH on long term lease. (kk)

My current EOS espires early Feb2020. I have more than adequate means but buying another ins pol is contrary to logic.

I realize I'm cutting it close but I can have funds in TH bank act within a week, already have accounts and methods for xfer.

1.  If I have B40,000 in bank reflecting intl xfer with in 10 days will that suffice for Non O extension based on "stay with family in TH"

2.  What process/docs-et al will I need in the case of question #1 ? 

3.  I will appreciate any positive response but my priority is expert level, i.e. UBJoe.

Thanks in advance for response.

OP Says:  Thanks for all, good answers to Q#1 and #2, and fine background info on the TM30 <deleted>.  On that one I believe most have heard lots of opinions on TM30;  seems like an individual choice.  I will go by the book on this and hope it goes away soon to everyone's relief.
