sepsi Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Here's the situation. I'm living in Finland and my wife is in Bangkok. We are going to have a child in the next few weeks. I applied for a non-O at the embassy in Helsinki, but could not get it because in the Finnish population registry my wife's nationality was marked at "unknown". So I ended with a single entry tourist visa. Looking at my flight dates, total time in Thailand will be a bit over 90 days. I know I can extend TR visa for 30 days, but is it possible to extend TR for 60 days based on marriage? I know I could extend non-O for 60 days, but I'm not sure if I can do the same with tourist visa. Any suggestions on the best way to stay around 100 days in Thailand in this situation? I could fly in and out to a neighboring country, but it seems a bit excessive and would rather avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sepsi Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Anyone knows if this can be done without first converting TR visa to non-O. I read other posts discussing that the conversion has to be done first. But maybe that's just for the one-year extension? The 60-day extension, as I recall, does not require money in the bank or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuket Mike Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If you are married to a Thai national you can get a 60 day extension on any type of entry stamp, even a 30 day visa exempt. I have done it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is only required for a 1 year extension. You don’t need to show money in the bank or income for a 60 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
