I am wondering if this scenario would work. I arrived in Thailand on a visa exempt which will expire on August 24th. If I extend this visa another 30 days could I then do a 60 day COVID extension? After this I was going to use the 60 day to visit my Thai wife extension. After this one expired I was going to get the 90 Non O for being married which I would then convert to the 1 year extension of stay based on being married. I am a US citizen.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is exploring the possibility of extending their visa-exempt entry in Thailand, followed by a COVID extension, before transitioning to a 90-day Non-O visa based on marriage. Community responses indicate that this plan is feasible, but one user cautions against using the 60-day family visit extension prematurely, suggesting it be preserved. Another advises that it may be more efficient to apply for the Non-O visa directly if the necessary documentation is available, rather than prolonging the process with a COVID extension.
