I would really appreciate some help with this. I’m due to fly back to London in a few days then onto Spain (where I am a resident, but UK passport holder)

I have already had to re book twice so far on flights from London to Spain due to cancellations. I hear it’s likely that Uk will soon shut all airports.

My question is: I have a 1 year Non IM

O visa. (Valid until September)

My 90 day entry stamp shows entry until 08/04/20. How can I get out of Thailand to re-Enter and get another 90 days (considering all the problems for non Thais entering at the moment) Is there any way of getting another 90 days at Immigration? Hope you can help. Can’t get through to the airlines by the way.

TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses a user's dilemma regarding their 1-year Non-O visa amid travel restrictions due to the pandemic. With a 90-day entry stamp expiring soon, they seek advice on how to re-enter Thailand and possibly extend their stay. Commenters suggest three main options: flying to another country and returning while meeting insurance requirements, applying for an extension based on retirement, or waiting until the current situation resolves.

Ok, I'm reopening it. The OP has a real Multiple Entry Non-O visa based on being over 50, which requires him to bounce out every 90 days. Sadly, as of today, there are only three options:

1. Fly out to another country and return. You will have to meet the insurance requirements to re-enter Thailand.

2. Extend the visa using an extension of stay based on retirement.

3. Wait until April 8, 2020, and see if the situation improves

That's the only three things I can think of at this time. Keep your eyes on this page for more information.

Closing thread. The author has a very unique situation, and is one that virtually nobody else has. To prevent confusion and bad advice, I'm closing the thread for now. I'll reopen it with the outcome of what the OP should do.

What's the reason for the Multiple Entry Non-O visa?

I’m single. I don’t need a visa extension, I need an entry stamp extension if that makes sense

If you are Thai wife category, you can bring the involved document and you can get 60 days extension at 1,900 baht fee.
