That would not apply in your case. The pattern of visa exempt plus extension followed by exit Thailand (briefly) and return.... Wash and repeat. That is not your pattern.. No need to rush the non O and extension. When that happens you can buy a multi reentry permit. Exit and return as often as you wish.

Just to be clear. You are able to obtain extension marriage but cannot meet the money in bank requirement? The dust needs to settle on new announcement regarding covid rules. Clearly your not 50+ as the extension retirement would be better option. You do realize that the 400k only has to be in bank for approx 3 months (including under consideration period)

Most of them are num skulls. The OP at this point has given very few details. First hand experience here in Thailand in my thinking is very useful. Have you been in OP situation in Thailand. Do you personally have recommendation for a lawyer. Put up. Lot depends on OP situation. Lawyer could be like throwing KERO on a fire..

Me either. I don't often mention the economic benefits to Thailand for having the covid extensions as I feel the border issue and of course pandemic situation is far more the issue. However for those living here we have seen first hand the devastation to tourist industry. Any folk that can remain here and spend dosh is a positive.

0-A Long stay visa insurance question
DrJack54 replied to HKexpat's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You only need insurance for 30 days for entry. Are your entering visa exempt or tourist visa. If entering with tourist visa best to obtain 60 day coverage. Afterwards no insurance required. -
Perhaps I'm seeing this differently. In my mind the covid extensions are due to the covid pandemic situation. The thing is land borders are closed. We all know that before covid spoilt the party there were many options to have medium to longer term stay in Thailand. That involved visas, visa exempt entries, border bounce, border runs for visa, flight to places such as Vietnam for either visa exempt or with visa reentry Thailand. None of that's possible. Covid extensions should continue till some normality returns to land borders. The "go back to your own country" brigade are just the mindless types we all have to put up with. I'm on retirement extensions. No personal issues for me staying here, however have gone into bat over long period for those obtaining covid extensions. Now with immigration officers (some) playing games, I hope they stop their nonsense. Some places demanding outbound flight. Some (HH) demanding embassy letter, etc. Damn disgrace.

No offense but you have caused yourself lot of stress. In particular leading up to the last day. Jan 25. Yes the covid extensions have been continued but as usual announcement left till last minute. You could have used an agent to have your covid extension commence from end of current permit (it's not a visa) and also no under consideration period. Approx cost 5k. Easy peasey.
