Decided to go with the 'visiting family' option for my extension over the (1st) Covid extension. I need a few more weeks for my 400k to have been seasoned for the 2 months and although I can only use it once I want to stay clear of the whole Covid thing/paperwork etc.
I'm already on a non o based on marriage so it makes sense and I've heard people being rejected for the Covid extension.
I'm owed it as I had to do my 2 weeks in Bangkok Quarantine in October but I just think it would make more sense and possibly a lot less hassle? ๐
