Do I need to go to Chaeng Wattana to cancel my visa after divorcing my Thai wife?

@Jason *********

In re-reading the police order that allows covid extensions this time around (from Mar 26 to May 24th) it appears that people who were on Non-Imm visas or extensions CAN apply for a covid extension. SO once you're divorced, go cancel your marriage extension and then tell them you want to apply for the 60 day covid extension.

We are getting reports of people who have done it successfully, even one report where the immigration office sent the person away last friday (when the old program was in effect that didn't allow it) and told to come back monday (under the new program that DOES allow it 😮 ) They did and got an under consideration stamp (y)

Worst that can happen is you max out your overstay fines. No biggie. You can get the covid visa right now though to give you time.

Having the father of my ex speak out for me helped me enormously. He and the immigration officer could find a solution for me. In cases like yours individual decisions of the officer are important.

Just get your basic retirement visa…that’s if she didn’t clean you out.

Apply for a one year retirement visa at the same time.

Change the "reasons" for extension before you divorce. What's the rush?

If it's an extension by way of Married to Thai I was always under the impression you had 7 days to leave once nullified.

You ask worse that can happen well that would be to be arrested for overstaying

the day you sign the divorce papers at the Amphur is the day you no longet meet the requirements to have your extension and need to go to the immigration office where you got it to cancel it. While you're there you could get a '7 day extension denied" stamp that gives you a week to get out.

Otherwise you're gonna rack up overstay fines from the date the divorce decree was signed and the extension was cancelled until you leave.

You need to cancel it BEFORE you leave, failing to meet the terms doesn't do anything until you go and get the extension cancelled at the immigration office.
