Dear experts,

Arrived here on a 30 day exemption stamped till April 5th (UK National).

Was going to go to HCM around that time to get an O visa based on my half Thai son aged 5 but they've closed their border as has Laos.

HCM and or Laos were chosen due to not having to show bank statement.

Was previously here on non-im b with wp for couple of years.

What do you recommend?

Answer summary

The user originally arrived in Thailand on a 30-day exemption and plans to extend their stay due to border closures that prevent them from obtaining an O visa in HCM or Laos. Suggestions from the community include applying for a 60-day family visit extension at a local immigration office, and monitoring the situation for any changes.

They did not.

I did a flight from Bangkok to PP as I had to exit after WP was cancelled.

Do you know if this can be done at Chamchuri Square?

And am I able to get these 60 day family extensions back to back?

Or you may want to ask to your local immigration office if you can get one 30days extension (tourist status) AND 60days extension visiting Thai family. Under this circumstance, you may not know how long you will want to be.. if you can get both, check the order (which should be first or doesn't matter) as well.
