ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise, this is a long one. I'm currently on a 90 day single entry visa granted in savannakhet for visiting my children. This visa has already expired and I am now on the amnesty. My question is has anybody had experience with getting the 60 day extension? I wish to extend for the same reason (visiting children) but I am still married but we are currently separated and the children stay with me. As I am still married can I get an extension for this reason or will immigration insist the extension should be through marriage? Cheers

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on obtaining a 60-day extension of stay while on a single entry visa that has expired, and currently under amnesty, specifically for the purpose of visiting their children. Comments indicate that it is possible to obtain the extension based on visiting family, particularly children, regardless of the marital status. However, it is advised to check with the local immigration office regarding specific requirements and the implications of being on amnesty.

There are two separate questions in this post that are combined into one:

Question 1: Can you get a 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family, without having your wife present? Yes. You can get a 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family based on your children. Your children will have to come with you to the immigration office. Each immigration office has their own requirements - go to your local immigration office and ask them.

Question 2: Can you get this extension of stay while on amnesty? It depends on the immigration office. Since you are on amnesty, I suggest continue staying on amnesty until it ends. Once the amnesty ends, either try to get that 60 day extension of stay, OR leave the country and return.
