Do I need to report for 90-day check-ins on a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand during the current COVID-19 situation?

Question

This very well may be different at any other office but I was in the Ubon immigration office this morning and they said DO NOT come back in June for your 90 day check in appointment. Just follow the directions you see online or on the news.  

I am on a 12 month Non O marriage visa.  So whomever is saying you still must do your 90 check in is incorrect according to the Ubon office.

A recent update from the Ubon immigration office advises that individuals on a 12-month Non-O marriage visa do not need to return for the 90-day check-in appointment this June. However, different immigration offices may interpret rules variably, so it's essential to verify with your local office regarding their specific requirements. Some users mentioned that if holding a multi-entry Non-O visa, regular reporting is typically required unless affected by current amnesty plans. Others expressed concern about potential backlogs when normal processing resumes.

I'm doing the 90 day reports regardless. When the amnesty ends there will be a backlog of people going in to do their 90 day reports at the same time

If you're on a year-long, multi-entry non-O visa based on marriage <- that you got from a thai consulate in another country, you bounce out and back in every 90 days to get a new 90 day entry stamp

BUT

seeing as you can't do that, you are covered on the amnesty plan until no longer than july 31st.

However IF you are on a year-long, extension of stay <- that you got inside the country from the immigration office by meeting the financial requirements etc you can do your 90 day reporting like normal when it's due

Each of the 70+ immigration offices around the country seem to interpret the rules slightly differently. There is no one rule fits all. Some want those on long term extensions of stay to report as normal, some don’t. Some want people on “under consideration” stamps to return on the date stamped, others don’t. Only real way to find out is to ask your office for their rules.
