Can I Get a 60-Day Extension on a Visa Exemption to Visit My Thai Wife in Bangkok?

Aug 3, 2020

ORIGINAL POSTER

I arrived on a 30 day visa exemption back in March. I have been on amnesty ever since and have not done any extensions yet. 

I want to know if it is possible to get a 60 day extension based on visiting family (Thai wife) while on an exemption/amnesty? I have read about people doing it with non-o but I want to know specifically if I can do it from exemption/amnesty?

If so, what documents do I need and where do I go to do it in Bangkok? Do I go to Chaengwattana or Muang Thong Thani?

And, will the extension start on September 27th?

Thank you!

Totally okay to apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension AND in Bangkok you would apply at the Muang Thong Thani location because you originally entered on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp and that is where people who entered on that type of stamp go to get extensions

yes I saw that and while very helpful I am hoping someone can confirm whether it can be done in Bangkok from a visa exemption stamp but now on amnesty.

which is useful as a general idea about the documentation required but not so much seeing as he's in bangkok and applying off a 30 day visa exempt entry :O
