Looking for some advice.
I’m a Canadian passport holder.
Married to a Thai.
I need to get to Thailand ASAP due to the passing of my mother in law.
I don’t have time to wait around for the non o based on visiting family, my wife.
I’m going to arrive and receive the visa exempt 30 day stamp. I’m aware, I can extend it for another 30 days.
My question is, how do I go about getting a non o once my 60 days expire? Can I leave Thailand to a neighbouring country and apply for one there? If so, which location would be best?
Thanks.
