Got my 90days Non.O-Thai wife visa today...at Chaeng Wattana.

Submitted application 2 weeks back and went today for collection...fast service...about 1 hr only.

Next will be for the 1year extension application... planning to do when have balance 30days.

Anyone have experince using Thailand Visa e-Extension ?

Or better to submit in person at CW again.

Thank you
Answer summary
The user recently received their 90-day Non-O visa linked to their Thai spouse from Chaeng Wattana and plans to apply for a 1-year extension. They inquire about the e-extension process and whether it is better to submit in person at Chaeng Wattana. Responses indicate that e-extensions are not available for marriage-based extensions, and advice is given to schedule an appointment for the yearly extension at least 45 days before the current visa expires.

correctly stated you can indeed book an appt to show up and get your yearly extension

you would do it at this web-link

*******************************************************************


You can make an appt no more than 30 days out <- in fact at 12:00 the appts for the next day a month out come available. SO you might have to set your alarm to make a booking because at least in Bangkok they book up FAST

As you can see there are NO appts available for marriage to a thai extensions for Dec just so you can get an idea

Last time we had to walk in and spent half a day at CW because we did not realize the appointment was booked up so fast (we tried to book like 10 days before expired). Next time we'll try to book ealier.

you cannot get an extension based on having a Thai wife thru the VFS E-Extension system it is not an option for that program.

You can apply for a yearly extension at Chaengwattana when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp (so for you any time after Dec 31st (providing your funds are seasoned the 2 months required)

the soonest you can do it is AFTER Dec 31st

so you're going to do it after the New Year Holiday

Immigrations is closed from Dec 31st until they re-open Monday Jan 5th

And I sure wouldn't show up that day to get the extension after the immigration office has been closed all those days for the holiday.

I'd do it middle of Jan or so
