Short-term Extension To Non-imm O Visa?

[Jacqueline]

After living in Thailand for four years on a non-imm O spouse visa, I am moving back to the UK next spring with my Thai husband and son.

My marriage visa expires at the end of January. Do I need to apply for another one year marriage visa just to cover those few months or is there another type of extension I can get from immigration?

Thanks for any advice.

I do not believe there is any provision for shorter extensions.

Just apply for an extension in the normal way.

There is no obligation to stay for a whole year.

It may also be worth keeping the extension open with a re-entry permit

just in case you need to come back for some reason.

You don’t have to travel abroad to get a new visa from a Thai consulate. You can get an annual extension of stay from the immigration office for 1,900 Baht.

The below might work but it is really designed to be used for an extension from a visa entry (those just married) so not sure if they can provide on an extension of stay. If not a quick trip to Penang or Vientiane could provide a 90 day stay in the form of a single entry non immigrant O visa.

7.23 In case of entering for

visiting a Thai wife /

husband or child.

The permission shall be

granted only one time with

the granted period not

exceeding 60 days.
