My marriage visa extension (1 year) runs out on mid-November 2021 but my funds (400k) will not be seasoned by then so I will need an extension. The problem is I already used the 1 month extension you can do during this entry. Can I still get the Covid extension? Has it been extended?

So, this is not for me directly but a friend of mine who has a serious problem. He needs a new passport because his old one is expiring, but the Venezuelan Embassy is in Malaysia and in order to get a passport and get the biometric data scanned, he needs to go there, wait a few weeks and then come back, which also involves quarantine in both Malaysia and then again Thailand. Does anyone know if there's a way around this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Because I don't have it yet. That's my problem..

Thank you, really appreciate all your help ????

My visa (marriage) expires on November 20th 2021. I do not yet meet the requirements (400k in the bank) for an extension. Could I take advantage of the Covid extension to somehow extend my visa? If I get this extension now, to what day could I extend it? November 30th? Or longer? I already used my 60 day extension to visit Thai wife last year, so that option is gone for me.

Anyone know if this will be the last extension? Or if they will keep issuing them? Kind of tough to plan for the 60 days money in the bank 400k afterwards if we don't know which one will be the last one.

Did they inform you when they would cease?

What if you use an agent this year and want to use your own 400k next year. Wouldn't immigration ask why you didn't keep 400k in your bank account the year before? And how you got that visa?

Any news about the Covid visa extensions? Are they going away too?

That sucks then because borders are not really open ...

It appears they are talking about lifting the emergency decree soon. I believe the Covid visa extensions was part of this emergency decree. Does anyone have any information if the Covid visa extensions will also be canceled?

I know people are always saying be careful with visa agents ...but has there been any big issue with them? I can't remember reading anything about it or any foreigners getting into serious issues. There was one that was growing marijuana plants on the 2nd floor or something and the owner got arrested for a day ..only to be cleared up a day later as a "mistake". In Bangkok, that was a few months ago or so.

Has there been any case where foreigners got into trouble using a visa agent in recent times by skipping some requirements?

Great, thanks guys. Really appreciate it ????

Do you know if it's possible to switch back to marriage visa from the Covid extension once I meet the requirements? Or once I am on the Covid extension I would need to leave the country to re-start the marriage extension?

Yes, I already did the 60 day extension to visit my wife because I was short on seasoning funds last year, so that option is out of the question. My office is Udon. If borders are open, I'm fine going for a border run, but I think that will also come with strings attached. Not sure if Laos or Malaysia are even "open" at this time or if there's quarantine needed.

I am currently on a marriage visa (1 year) extension that is due for renewal in 3 months. I might not be able to meet the renewal requirements (400k in bank) due to our newborn baby having very high medical expenses for the past few months (life threatening condition) so I was wondering if the Covid extension still exists? Like, I could get that extension until a border run to get a new visa in Laos or Malaysia is possible? Thank you for any help ????

I am asking for a friend. Seriously. ???? He is getting married in Thailand and needs marriage documents from his country's Embassy in order to get the marriage visa here. Unfortunately they don't have an Embassy in Thailand but only in Malaysia. They told him they can send him copies via email or postal mail, but the originals he would need to come pick up on his own in Malaysia. Obviously that is not possible right now with Covid. What would be the best way for him to solve this? He's kind of lost. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did my marriage visa extension (first one) in Ubon Ratchathani last year and I had to keep the 400k inside my bank account for 3 months before application. Now, I'm getting close to my renewal and I'm wondering if anyone knows how long I need to keep it inside my bank account now? I read everywhere 2 months. Is that correct? 3 months the first application, 2 months afterwards?
