Some help from gentlemen on my visa...

[benlovesnuk]

Im currently at the end of my ME non O (wife) visa, literally, the visa ended in october and im in my 90 day stay as a i popped out just before the end of it.

 

My out stamp is 30th december, are there any updates or reasons i cant extend this at the end for 60 days at imigration..? 

 

My passport is running out of its 6 month to boot, validity to travel to Laos (27th november) so i need to renew it and with lead times of 4-5 weeks im cutting it close to out stamp on 30th december.

 

1 alternative is to go and take a short break in savvanahkhet in the next 2 weeks if online appointments are available and get a single entry 90 day, or just chance getting the passport in time.

 

Any ideas, revelations or funny anecdotes welcome....

60 day extension to visit wife is the obvious answer.

1,900bht at immigration, need your marriage cert (and maybe the Amphur confirmation still married).

 

This extension is allowed once every time you enter Thailand.

I just very much dislike immigration officers....the ones locally have always been caustic to my wife...

But maybe youre correct

Wife not required to attend, just you.

I've done it once, hardly any paperwork, straight in and out.

Ive always been told (and thus took) my wife as being needed at immigration to do 60 day extension, like 1 year extension, only savvanakhet you dont need your wife. 

Have i been tricked by the visa gods again...?

Did my 60 day extension without my wife in Chiang mai.

Did my 1 year extension, wife and 100 photocopies required.

If you dont mind, when was that 60 day extension, recently...?

 

You think it could be digital on a usb hdd with editable files, but no....yet thats the kind of digital technology i prefer, my own finger prints, i hold, not they do to lose to cyber thieves, but i digress...

 

Thank you for your quick coherent replies

Your experiences are correct.

Wife needs to attend for 60 day extension.

Here is cut/paste from ubonjoe...

 

"Your wife must be with you when you apply for the extension.

Best to have the original marriage certificate with you in case they want to see it. A copy is also needed.

You will need proof of residence to prove you are living where the office is located unless living where your wife's house book registry is for"

 

OP, where are you located in Thailand? 

[DrJack54]

OP , did you consider obtain 12 month extension.

Yes requires 400k in bank. You could use the 60 day extension to visit wife to buy time for financial seasoning.

Depends on longer term plans.

 

The OP  in this thread similar position as yourself.
