OPAnd I think at this point that
@Pa**
understands the options available to him. Good Luck, take care, stay safe. We're done. Guybrush ************

I feel sorry for you, you just followed the stream of people terrified to be out of Thailand one day to another, this grace period was really obvious as all the country in the region gave one, Thailand was just the last to announce it.Tod *********
OPnow now,
If we count up how long the amnesty was granted for (from when it started on March 26th until when the new one is proposed to end Sept 26th) we can see that is SIX MONTHS of time.
While I am sympathetic to the O/P's plight, it should not be beyond the ability of people to find a solution to their visa/extension issues in that time frame. :/

OP@Pa**
an extension based on raising half thai children requires the same 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only, the only difference is it doesn't have to be seasoned the 2 months. Those are your options.Paul ***********
@Tod ********
thankyou Stefan *********
Aus friend got embassy letter last week.
Stefan *********

Stefan *********
What I am saying is you don't know they won't start again in Sept is all.

@Stefan ********

OPI have no doubt
@Pa**
that they'll start back up by the end of the new amnesty. Tod *********
OPthat is for getting a 30 day extension AFTER this current new amnesty runs out at the end of sept. :/

@Tod ********

OP@Paul **********
: was hoping cause I have a 7 year old son might have more options, thanks again great siteTod *********
OP@Paul **********
: thanks for the response do you know the requirements and cost at all once again thanks for your information @Tod ********
: 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your yearly extension.ALL extensions inside thailand (no matter the amount of time they're issued for are 1900baht).
Tod *********
OPSadly your only option would be to meet the financial requirements for a yearly extension or you start getting ready to leave on or by the 26th of Sept
