tuktuktuk Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I've got a Non-Immigrant O 90 day visa that expires March 8. Can I go to the immigration office in Khon Kaen (like I've done before) and get a 60 day extension like I've done in the past? Last time I did the same was in 2016 for 1900 Baht.

You may be able to obtain a 60 day covid extension instead. That way you could save the visit wife extension for later if needed.

For covid extensions is there a difference between entering Thailand on a non o as opposed to entering on a visa exempt then changing to a non o of some sort? Or is it impossible to get another extension eIther way once you have a non o stamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the criteria is about your entry into Thailand. If that was with a non O then covid extension unavailable. If via visa exempt or tourist visa then your able to obtain CE. Seems strange to me. For those able to obtain non O eg retirement or marriage then they indeed have an alternative. 12 month extensions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say Ive not seen many reports, I entered by land 30 visa exempt and when we were told no more amnesty at the very last day I caved and got a 3 month extension from an agent.im not very hopeful of been able to get another covid extension.

RedArmy Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I am contemplating my next move. I will either apply for a covid extension or a 90 day Non O (Retirement). Will visit Immigration next month & update accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuktuktuk Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 It expires March 8. When is the earliest I can apply for the extension. I think I remember reading 14 days prior to expiration. Sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time the extensions have been due to end ( this time March 26)....reports of people obtaining one with 21+ days left on their permission of stay.

tuktuktuk Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Got my extension today. Had to go to Chaiyaphum. Wife changed her residence to the other house. Office was practically empty and relaxed. They told us to go online and update my current address to the Chaiyaphum address to avoid the fee. Even with their help we couldn’t figure out how to do that on an iPhone. I suppose they were talking about the 90 day reporting system, but I figure that doesn’t apply to this situation. I was a bit surprised they didn’t make me extend my COVID insurance, but no mention. Nevertheless a successful outing. 1900 baht is a small price to pay to avoid another three hour round trip to Chaiyaphum immigration. btw: Stations along the way were out of fuel. Not sure what to think of that. We’ve seen some in recent months, but not like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just asked Samut Sakhon immigration and you can't anymore. Not sure if they just don't know what they are talking about or what. I will ring again today to make sure they understand I am not talking about a covid extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbonecollector Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 So let me get this straight. Parent of a Thai child or married to a Thai who entered Thailand on a single Non-Immigrant visa cannot get a COVID 60day extension BUT can still get the original 60day extension which has been around for years? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
