Hi

I'm on a 60 day single entry visa now on amnisty,

I am due to fly 18th next month Singapore air to Perth.

Now I have been messed around by other airlines so.. If flight issues on  18th..

Can I get a 30 day exstention as not applied yet,( I have heard this is dicy if on amnisty.) 

I am married to a local so maybe get 90 day visit family closer to 26th next month? Just in case.. As if I fly all good! if not having an extension already in Place maybe a good Idea?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a 60-day single-entry visa due to amnesty and is concerned about possible flight issues. They inquire about the possibility of applying for a 30-day extension and obtaining a 90-day Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. Responses from the community suggest that while a family extension based on marriage may be possible, the user should consult with immigration regarding their options and requirements, especially considering the restrictions of being on amnesty and the need for proper documentation for re-entry after leaving Thailand.

One other thing to very aware of, and plan for. After you do actually fly back, you will not have a valid visa extension stamp in your passport, that would allow you to re-enter Thailand, as one of the groups allowed to return based on what visa extension stamp you have. So, be sure to take copies of your marriage certificates with you, as that will give you the document you will need to possibly get a type O 90 day visa to re-enter Thailand from the Thai embassy, after also meeting all the other requirements, like insurance, covid-19 test, etc. to get your certificate to enter Thailand from the embassy, then do your 14 day quarantine, as I suspect you will want to return to your wife after your work is done in AU. The Thai embassy also likes to see pictures of the two of you together in different settings, together with your marriage certificates. Just be aware of what you will need when you try to return, as situations concerning this virus stand now, and who is allowed to return to Thailand. As of Friday's news conference 7200 foreigners have already re-enter Thailand, so with the correct documents it shouldn't be a problem, although it will be somewhat expensive, given the quarantine requirements, at your expense.
