I have just come to Thailand and in the quarantine hotel, the consulate does not give an annual visa at the moment, so I only have 3 months. But am married, how many months can I extend in Thailand without depositing 400,000 Baht. There is also a 1 year multi entry annual visa. ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Peter Mollenhauer has just arrived in Thailand and is currently in a quarantine hotel. He notes that the consulate is not issuing annual visas at the moment, leaving him with only a 3-month Non-O visa. He inquires about the duration he can extend his stay without needing to deposit 400,000 Baht, considering he is married. Responses clarify the distinction between obtaining a visa and extending a stay, indicating that a year-long extension based on marriage typically requires proof of funds. Alternatively, he could apply for a 60-day family extension, which does not require this proof. Given the current closure of borders to neighboring countries, obtaining a long-term visa is complicated, and he is advised that depositing the required funds in a Thai bank two months before applying for the extension is a safe approach.
