Marvo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Can anyone please advise if it's possible to renew an annual extension of stay based on marriage while outside of Thailand? (Needed, to keep the work permit active). If possible, I don't want to travel to Thailand with the complications of all this Covid/Quarantine business, just to renew the visa (extension). The Thai wife is in Thailand at the moment. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Cannot. No big deal. Start over when you enter next time. No way would anyone return just to obtain extension. Edited February 10, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would anyone return just to obtain extension. Agree, no big deal. Agree, just start over again. But not so sure about “cannot”. If one is game enough, could they not securely post (or give to a visiting friend/family member) their passport to their reliable Thai-based visa agent maybe ???? ? Would never do it (!), but just challenging the “cannot” advice. Edited February 11, 2022 by Nemises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudHailer Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Ensure that you re-enter the kingdom with 'Visa upon Entry' if eligible or a Tourist Visa. Anything else is problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is problematic. What is a "visa on entry"? There are 30 day visa exempt entries and a 15 day visa on arrival for those from 18 countries.

Marvo Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 I still have 15 months left on my work permit. Would prefer to not lose that and have to start that from scratch also. Does expiry of my current extension of stay invalidate my work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
