Mamagolf - I went to Immigration in Phuket this week and the 60-day extension is being given on Non-O 90-day visas to help tourism recovery - the officer actually called it the 'Covid extension' or 'Covid visa' (can't remember which)...and the 400k is not needed for this. I don't know how long this will last, but I would assume at least through the end of the year.

I arrived on a marriage visa with my wife, which expires mid-Oct. We'll only be staying until end of December, so I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle to extend my marriage visa (appointment, paperwork, attending with wife, etc), or possibly transitioning to a 60-day tourist visa and extending that 30 days, which would cover the days we'll be here. Does anyone know or have experience with obtaining a 60-day tourist visa without leaving the country? And would they issue one to me if I just let my marriage visa expire/cancel (there would probably be days left on it)? I'm just wondering if this would simplify the process since I would only need less than 3 months of a full year extension to the marriage visa anyway. If it's not possible, I'll just go through the extension process. Any expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
