Can I report to immigration with a Non-O spouse visa multi-entry during the border closure in Thailand?

IF you need extra time to season the 400K THB in a Thai Bank Account, you can apply for a 60 Day Extension of Stay Based on Visiting Thai Family. At *MOST* immigration offices, you will need:

1. Your passport and a copy of:

- Your data ("picture") page

- Your Non-O visa

- Your entry stamp

- Your departure card

2. Your wife PHYSICALLY next to you, and

- Her ID card and a copy of her ID card

- Her housebook, and a copy of the first page

3. Marriage certificate (either the rose border certificate, OR a translated copy from your home country)

4. The application form

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB for the processing fee.

SOME immigration offices may require a copy of the TM30 filed where you live, or the updated marriage certificate from the local Amphur office for 20THB.

You *WILL NOT* need any seasoned money, OR medical insurance for this extension of stay.

You *CAN* get a One Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage to a Thai National from this extension of stay (see my comment above)

Different immigration offices have different requirements for a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. *ALL* immigration offices will require the following:

400K THB in a Thai bank account seasoned for two months or;

40K THB of monthly income in a Thai bank account or;

A letter from your embassy saying you have income of 40K THB a month [note: not all embassies issue this letter]

The marriage to be formalized with the rose border marriage certificate OR a translated copy (if married overseas).

*SOME* immigration offices require *SOME* the following documents:

- A hand-drawn map to your house (some require this on a special sheet

- A Google Map printout showing where you live.

- Interviews with neighbors

- Visits by immigration officers

- Witnesses brought TO the immigration office

- A property lease (if renting)

- A document saying you're still married (issued at the Amphur office, 20THB).

- Maybe other documents too.

AT *MOST* immigration offices, you can apply for this extension of stay no less than 30 days remaining on your existing stamp.

It looks like Phetchaburi Immigration Office does not have a website. I see a visit to your local office on Friday. Ask for the handout for the "One Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage to a Thai National".

You *WILL NOT* need medical insurance of any type for this extension of stay.

Take Tod's advice, those are the only options available. I've been on a non O spouse ME for years but for the first time I had to get a 3 month SE and have since applied for my 1 year extension of stay, currently under consideration. Borders are closed so don't waste your money on a ME visa even IF you can get one, just get a SE and do the 1 year extension and you can get a re-entry permit if/when you can get a flight out.
