Thanks for your reply joe...  Much appreciated...   

Do you mind if I ask how/where I would change the reason for the extension of stay (is that the common term for a work permit then? Sorry! :)) then please?  I don't have contact with the company anymore so wouldn't be able to get any info from them.

Any if I've understood correctly I have until July 31st as a grace period after my work permit ends anyway so I could wait a little longer and then travel for a new tourist visa until I can get this sorted out?

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for the regular advice and updates on the forum.  Very much appreciated especially now! ❤️

My work permit is ending on June 9th and won't be renewed but I'm in the process of getting married to a Thai national...  We're waiting on COVID to calm down before we start visiting embassies for affirmation letters etc though.  The case numbers make NO SENSE to me and as we're both high risk we aren't taking any chances.

Can anyone advise me if I can just transition straight to a Non-O Marriage visa or will I need to exit the country and come back in?  I'd prefer to avoid travelling if I can.  If yes, I assume I just visit immigration with necessary papers and make a new Non-O application?  Do I still have time to do that?

Any advice or experience very welcome and thanks again...

Also - does anyone have a working link to make appointments at the British consulate please?  The only one I can find online doesn't actually work!
