problemfarang Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) My friend did a very positive Cambodia non-o thai spouse visa run. Well actually not run he got a new non-o visa. He applied on monday and got it friday afternoon. He said they checked all documents really strict. But no questions asked, no problems.

Some people need to get a Non-Immigrant B visa for work (and can't change inside the country). What ? Covid extensions are given again for all visa categories, that is what I have read here. You can get a Non-B visa inside the Country. I did that.. You can get a Retirement visa inside the Country. I also did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All agents that could do CEs before the change can do them now again, at least the ones I've spoken to. So yes, that includes the one big agent everybody knows about.

ThLT Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 I have zero experience with visa agents. If you work with an agent, do they go to immigration instead of you? Or do you have to go to immigration yourself, and they go with you and stand next to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, but there should be no need to do so. You simply change the reason for extensions of your permission to stay, and the original category of your Non Immigrant visa is irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do not believe is that (in spite of various other stamps in the "visa" pages of the passport) you have any Non O visa shown in the photos you posted. Most of the stamps are not visas. It might be helpful to show your passport to someone with a good grasp of Thai immigration stamps and rules so they can explain what each means. This is often helpful in understanding your future options going forward. In summary, the stamps you show are a Non B visa (and associated 90-day permission to stay) issued at immigration in January this year, a one-year extension based on retirement ending April next year, and a 90-day notification receipt from February.

Hmm... well how did I get from a Non-B to a one year retirement extension. ? I went to Immigration asked for a Non-O retirementwith handed over all the paperwork and 1900. Baht. Left with 14 months stamped in the passport. Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
