Not sure about thousands of them but many have entered.

Three months is enough if entering on a single entry non-o visa.

Or if you buy a return (flexi) ticket.. 

 

My insurance is 90 days per trip, my extension expires in I think july 2021.. I expected to have to justify that for the COE and booked a return ticket under 3 months but they issued the COE before I even uploaded my flight info.

I'm curious; must the Thai spouse physically be in Thailand during the application process and travel of the foreigner? Or, can the Thai provide the documentation for his/her spouse while outside of Thailand and follow later?

I have seen nothing on embassy websites I have read about needing to show proof your wife is in Thailand when you apply for a certificate of entry.

[HeijoshinCool]

Nor have I.

 

But I do wonder if any of the foreign spouses who have returned to LOS have encountered any situations where it was an issue.

My wife and I arrived together from the US.  I did have to provide a letter from my wife giving her consent to my travel to Thailand but beyond that nothing about whether she was in Thailand or, if not, when she would arrive.  I did have to give details for a guarantor in Thailand on the visa application.  Here I used one of her relatives in Thailand and it wasn't an issue.

Just provide documentation and the docs do not ask if she is in Thailand or returning to Thailand. 

My friend is leaving his Thai wife in England (with kids) returning to Thailand to maintain property etc.

Don't they ask for photos.....you and the wife in your home?....Also how will you get that letter saying you are still married without her?

Those are not required to apply for a non-o visa at embassy or consulate or a certificate of entry.

They are only required to apply for a one year extension of stay at immigration.

There is no letter, no photos, none of what you say.. 

 

You must upload a marriage cert.. I used the Kor Ror 3 as I didnt have a scan of my Kor Ror 2 on hand but I would think a KR2 would be superior as the issue date is likely closer. 

Then you also upload a Thai ID card or passport for the same name. 

Thats it.

If you are over 50, then you could probably do an extension for Retirement. The Marriage extension will probably not work, as the wife have to go with you to the Immigration. There are maybe other visas/extension which will work as have been written in the past.

My policy is an annual policy with a max 90 day per trip coverage. 

 

I expected to have to justify that, as I will be arriving with a reentry valid until july not a 90 day single entry non imm, and so booked a return ticket with less than 90 days on it. But they cleared the insurance before even asking about flights, so seemed happy with 90 days cover.

From lot of reports an agent may be easiest solution to avoid roadblocks.
