LoVeFuN Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I entered Thailand on 10th January on Visa exempt. I went to Chiayaphuum immigration where I have been given 2 COVID based visa extension until June 8th. Although I had all the necessary paperwork to do the nonO based on marriage I was given a second COVID extension and told to come back on 17th May when I was to submit paperwork for one year non O visa. My question is what about the 90 day nonO visa as they stated come back for one year visa. Is there a period of time after this is submitted, ' under consideration' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is misunderstanding. You can obtain a non O marriage that gives you a 90 day permission of stay and in the last 30 days you can apply for 12 month extension. Your extension will have an under consideration period. Edited May 13, 2022 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I will see what happens on the 17th, though she said we will do one year next time. Maybe translation problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoVeFuN Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I returned to Chiayaphuum immigration today with everything prepared for a one year extension. First a junior member checked my paperwork and I filled in TM87. Saying I wanted a 90 day extension based on marriage. Next to another member of staff behind the main counter. He than told us to take a seat and the most senior member of staff showed me my passport and said comeback 4th of June. Inside my passport is a ' under consideration' sticker. He said just comeback with your passport. So they went straight from Covid extension to a Non O for one year is that correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No You applied for a non-o visa that will allow a 90 day stay in the country. When your return on June 7th will do the visa stamp and a new entry stamp for 90 days. Then during the last 30 days of the 90 days your can apply for a one year extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the date they want me to return on the ' under consideration' note in my passport is a Saturday the 4th June would the Friday the 3rd be ok. This is important to me as I will be on holiday in Pattaya and will need to travel up to Chiayaphuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
