Greetings all, asking for some general assistance regarding my non O 90 day visa.

On or before the 21st of May 2020, go to local immigration office and apply for a 60 day extension to stay in lawful status.

Booked flights to Laos on the day, but all flights overseas by AirAsia were cancelled.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

OR

as I mentioned you could do nothing, take the free (no stamp) amnesty that is running and stay no longer than July 31st and see how it goes.

That is a choice you have to make on your own, you certainly qualify for the free amnesty plan..

I'd say take the 60 day visit thai family hard stamp extension, pray that the borders open before that stamp runs out, and then go to a thai consulate and get a year long, multi-entry Non-O visa where you bounce in and out every 90 days and get it from a consulate where you don't need to show proof of funds to get the visa (Savannakhet or HCMC)

cheers that has been a big help. Been married to my wife for three years and one day.

What was your long term plan?

I mean you got a single entry 90 day Non-O based on marriage to a thai.

Were you going to apply for a yearly extension or what?

Most people would have went to Savannakhet and gotten the year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage NOT went to Vientiane and got a single entry one :/

Required documents was the issue. I can provide bank statements for funds coming in but no official translated letter of funds.

OR you could go apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension at the immigration office and have a "hard stamp" extension.

thank you. If I get a hard stamp would that cover from the date of application or from the 31st of July?

You are covered on the amnesty until no longer than the 31st of July
