Can I enter Thailand under the Phuket Sandbox for a COVID extension if my Non-O visa expires soon?

Hi! I came back in thailand by phuket sandbox 7 august (my oa 1year extension was valid untill 31 august . Living in chiang mai and with the poor offer of flights for return ,i made extension at phuket ,needed same requirement that CM ,but needed adress in phuket (hotel certificat ,and register on immigration online .Gave passeport and documents friday and picked up monday without problem.Arrived at CM ,i went immigration and changed adress .

For reference from last year...

My latest extention (NON-O) comes with this remark. Its usually valid til mid October but now 31 Oct. Is this due to visa amnesty?

Are you the wife trailing on your husbands Non O extension of stay for retirement?

If so you do need to return to Thailand asap as his extension of stay will expire too and he will extend his... but you need to be here to trail on his.

Otherwise you will have to meet the full financial requirements for the Non O based on retirement. With a new 800,000 Thai baht bank account in your name only in a Thai bank account

Either come to Thailand fully vaccinated and enter the Phuket sandbox before your Non O based extension expires...get to your home address in Thailand and file for another one year extension of stay.

OR.

Wait until it expires then come back to Thailand into the Phuket sandbox visa exempt ...and after the 14 days in Phuket return to your home address and apply for the 30.days extension followed by a new Non O visa and one year extension of stay.

There is no guarantee that the COVID extension will be available when you get here and it's for those who cannot leave Thailand... and you will have just arrived ...no justification for granting it.

Once your Non O expires you must start all over with a new application in country at your local Thai immigration office.

Plan your arrival into Phuket carefully.

I assume you have a reentry permit in your passport?
