60 days on arrival after non o spouse visa and 60 day extension

[Banjo man]

Hi all,

Australian passport holder with 3 month spouse visa expiring on the 4th march and have a 60 day extension to visit wife until the 4th may. Me and the wife are going to Hanoi for 4 days on the 26th April will I be able to get 60 day visa free entry on return to Bangkok. As I don't need to be in Australia until july.i will have a onwards flight to Australia to go back to work is this possible or do I need a different plan to stay until July 

Cheers all

Your plan will/sould be fine 

The return flight to Oz will/may be required by airline for return to Thailand.

Any questioning by immigration on arrival back in Thailand, point out flight to Oz. 

Being Oz I assume you are aware of need for visa to enter Vietnam.

The eVisa takes 4-5 days

 

Use gov site for visa and not agent sites.

Edit: another read of your dates.

You plan to reenter Thailand ~ start of May. 

The visa exempt entry will cover you till start of July. 

What is date of flight to Oz.

Seems outside the 60 day stamp

Thanks for the quick response mate 

Yes have the printed copy of visa for Vietnam and will also have a printed copy of flight ✈️ back to Perth for early July Just for everyone's interest the new  Immigration office at Nakon Sawan was very good and helpful when I extended spouse visa

So all good with current flight being within 60 days.

 

For future reference be aware that since you are entering visa exempt you have the option of obtaining another 60 day extension "to visit wife"

As yet, I haven't got 60 days to visit wife extension from a 60 day visa exempt......

That is from two offices, 30 days only, they told me to do border runs to get 60 days..🤔

Yes have read that. Can't recall if one was KK .

Thing is immigration should issue the 60 day extension. 

Just typical variation of Thai immigration offices. 

 

Cut and Paste from ubonjoe in older thread......

 

"You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife.

It does not matter what visa you used for entry. It can even be applied for to extend a visa exempt entry"

Two different offices in the Ubon Ratchathani area......One even had the front to call me confused.....🤭

 

I was thinking, "I am confused".............🤔

The immigration office Maesot had me do a 30day extension first then come back in a couple days to do a 60 day extension.

For those planning on the 30 and 60 extensions then it must be done in that order. 

If you obtain the 60 to visit wife first then you won't be able to obtain the 30.

Joe wasn't around when the new 60 day thing came out. Will be interesting to hear if anyone else has been refused the 60 day from a V.E. entry..

Good to know mate 

So it's possible to get a 60 day extension to visit wife from a 60 day visa exemption , I have a flexible flight to Perth so may try would like to stay another month

It should be possible however some immigration offices have refused (from posts in this thread).

 

Be aware that even if your immigration office refused the 60 to visit wife, you could alternatively obtain the 30 day extension.

 

Seems you travel out of Oz and also have Thai wife.

Be aware that obtaining a Non O marriage eVisa in Oz provides 90 day stamp and you can obtain a 60 day to visit wife to that permission of stay giving 5 months with one visit to immigration. (wife needs to attend)
