Hi, just a short question. If I am on a covid 19 extension but the original visa was a non o based on marriage with a Thai, does my wife need to go with me to the immigration when applying for a new extension? TIA

Responses indicated that the spouse's presence is not required for the extension application, but they should prepare for potential questions from immigration about their long-term stay plans.

Hopefully you have a plan for your next step in staying in Thailand.

The border runs and METV Married to Thai without financial proof that you have used in past are unlikely to return any time soon.

Be prepared to answer questions of Thai Immigration of why you have not obtained the one year extension of stay based on Marriage to Thai.

Hope you get this Covid extension.

Good Luck.
