Just extended my tourist exemption for another 30 days. Done all the paperwork to be able to marry my Thai girlfriend soon. Doing it this month but I just wanted to check I can apply for a 90 day o visa. As what was stamped in my passport seems strict.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently extended their tourist exemption for an additional 30 days and is preparing to marry their Thai girlfriend. They seek clarification on the possibility of applying for a 90-day Non-O visa, as the current stamp in their passport appears strict. Community responses indicate that, contrary to some previous beliefs, it is indeed possible to apply for a Non-O visa within Thailand, especially since immigration rules have become more accommodating post-COVID.

Supposed to be done out of country. But just like everything else in Thailand. It only depends on who you know.

If you want a non o based on marriage I believe you must apply initially in your home country. Then you can extend it here as long as you have the funds etc.

No, you can apply for Non-Os in Thailand and transition from a tourist visa or visa exempt. Only Non-Bs cannot be obtained in country (and they sometimes can).

Wonder if all this will ever go back to the way it was (border runs and stuff). In-country visa exchanges are pretty convenient..๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah immigration been better about doing them in country since covid, still hit or miss though. Non-Os 100% can get in country though.
