Can I extend my Non-Imm O visa by 60 days while in Thailand?

Non-Imm O Visa Visa Extension Marriage Visa Thai Immigration Regulations Visa Application Process

Aug 20, 2020

4 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi - I am arriving next week on a Non-Imm O (Thai Wife) visa which I have travelled on for the past few years.  I normally granted a 90 day stay on arrival and leave before this expires, however I m asking if it is possible to extend this whilst in country for a further 60 days (giving me about 5 months in total).  At the end of this particular 12 month visa it is my intention to change to a Marriage Visa.  Any advice appreciated thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether it's possible to extend their Non-Imm O visa, which is based on being married to a Thai citizen, by an additional 60 days after the initial 90-day stay upon arrival. Several comments confirm that a 60-day extension is feasible, provided the necessary documents (including passport, marriage certificate, and ID) are submitted with the application at the local immigration office, along with a fee. The conversation also touches on the process of transitioning to a Marriage Visa later.

Yes. You can apply for a 60 day extention on your initial 90 days. Your wife will need to go with you and you'll need copies of relevant docs, passport/ marriage cert/ wifes ID/housebook plus the fee of 1900bt. No bank book required

You can apply again and you'll get a 7 day extention denied stamp, 1900bt fee. Your only other alternative is to apply for a 1 year extention of stay.

Yes you can apply for a 60 day extension for visiting Thai family. You can only do this once. To stay longer you would need to apply for a year extension of stay having met the financial requirements and producing copious copies of passport and other papers.

Absolutely. Call their help line and they’ll explain the different packages options available to you. You don’t need to leave the country to get it but it does take around 4+ weeks to process the background checks etc. As long as you’ve never been on overstay you should be good.

do you have to be married to apply for the years extension? I am on a Non O based on having a Thai son. I've just arrived in Thailand and now in quarantine but I'm trying to find the best way of staying long term. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.

@Thomas *******

it depends on whether the child is listed as your sole custody with a family court or local amphur. If so you need 400k and quite a few trees of paperwork to apply. Here’s the list that the Phuket office needs.

*******************************************************************

If using another office check directly with them on their requirements as they may well be different.

If the child is not in your sole custody then the best you can do is a 60 day extension for visiting Thai family.

if he’s not in your sole custody you can look at options like an Ed visa for learning Thai or if money isn’t an issue the Elite visa.

for people under 50 where money isn’t so much of an issue it’s a great way to stay long term. Many people bitch about the high price of the visa but when you break it down over 5 years (or longer) versus what you’d need to spend on flights in and out (if you could these days), hotel stays and the sheer hassle I think the numbers would be not so far apart.

sorry each office has slightly different requirements so best to check with the office where you apply for their handout. This link is for Phuket. It may not be the same for the office you use.
