I also have a Non O ME marriage visa. I was told by immigration that unless I have had 400,000 Baht in the bank for the last 2 months. I ca not get an extension and I have to leave. 

I have lived in Thailand for 25 years. I am having to leave. I am not sure if I will be back anytime soon.

Most likely Friday. 

You state another month think you mean 2.

Which extension are you looking to obtain?

60 day extension to visit family?

I usually get 90 days every time I pop over the border and back to be with my family. I know it is unlikely but it would be nice not to have to think about it for a while. I guess we will hopefully alll get a full set of information on Friday.

Thai govt confirms extension of visa amnesty to 26 Sept

 

OP check out the article above in "Thai news forum". Announced yesterday.

Thank you,I had not seem that anywhere yet. Though surely the immigration should have told me this, and not to come back on the 31st. It seems wrong that they have zero information. I was polite to them not pushy. So hopefully this gets etched in stone , so it is law and I can relax for another month,

OP what type of extension were you trying to obtain.

In any event the amnesty extended until Sept 26 will shortly be in place.

This is the amnesty that everyone was saying would be decided on yesterday, but nothing has been decided.

Any extension I saw the article by the Phuket Immigration chief urging people to go and get extensions before the end of the month.  So I tried at my local office and got stonewalled.

For which kind of extension did you want to apply?

Some immigration offices refuse to process a legit one year extension for people under the amnesty because they want you to use an agent so that they get a backhander.

The amnesty is going to be extended until 26th September, so you still have two months time to do it.

Any kind of extension or information. They seemed to know nothing about September 26th. I have been dealing with Thai immigartion for the last 25 years and this is the first time I have not been able to get an answer. It appears that they are also being kept in the dark.

Same answer in CW this morning, officers told us to wait till July 31st, because at the moment they don't have clear instructions... Situation may change they said. Strange indeed.

Thank you it is nice to know it was just not me, 

I just visited the Immigration office in Chumphon today., a 100 mile round trip I have a multiple entry marriage visa which is valid until next year, though I was supposed to leave in June to do my 90day border hop. I asked them for an extension and they said no. I asked why, and they said they do not know yet what is happening and can not extend visas.

They asked me to go back on the 31st July. Does anyody know anything about this?

I have been reading report of other people getting extensions in Phuket, so I am confused as hell right now.
