ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a 60 day extension based on family expiring 25 November. If I apply for another 60 days based on unable to travel due to COVID can I still apply for the 1 year marriage extension after that? (Apologies if answered already).

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a 1-year marriage extension in Thailand after initially receiving a 60-day extension due to being unable to travel because of COVID-19. Community comments suggest that as long as the user originally entered the country on a Non-O visa and meets the financial requirements (having 400,000 baht in the bank for two months prior to application), there should not be an issue with the application process.

There shouldn't be a problem applying for a year extension from a 60 day unable to travel based on covid extension as long as you originally entered on a Non-O visa entry before the lock down back in March AND your funds are seasoned the 2 months before you apply.

No I entered with an APEC card. So I guess I better apply for the 12mth extension to be safe.

Sorry to hear your family is expiring November 25 ! At least now I can use that reason for my next extension 😉

Ask your local immigration office.

Note that you need to season your 400,000 Thai baht in your Thai bank a full two months before you apply for the one year extension as Married to Thai.
