Got to do my non immigrant o visa extension based on thai wife next week. I know that you can't make an online appointment, do you still have to get to Chaeng Watthana at 6-30/7-00 am to get in the queue?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the need to arrive early at the Chaeng Watthana Immigration Office for an appointment to extend their Non-Immigrant O Visa, which is based on being married to a Thai citizen. Comments reveal that online appointments are now available for visa extensions based on marriage and raising half-Thai children, suggesting that the need to queue early may no longer be necessary.

I had been trying to access since this morning but keep showing blank page. Is it a must to book an appointment before going or can I just walk in? What can I choose for Covid Extension?

@Jason ****
if the system is down and you need to apply for your extension, just walk in, it's all you can do

Probably not. I just tried, and it's not loading for me either. Continue trying until it shows

Actually you now CAN make an online appointment for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai AND raising half thai children :O
