Hello guys

Desperate for visa advice. My education visa expires 11th November and I'm planning on getting a non o marriage visa as I'm married to my thai husband. But can't find any information online. Plus I'm 7 months pregnant so can't travel soon .

Do I have to go laos to obtain visa?

What are the best options for me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Medical extensions of stays can be granted for no longer than 90 days at a time. You take a letter from your hospital to the immigration office at Chaengwattana to section A-1 (the 90 day reporting room), they have a doctor on staff who will review your document and decide how long of an extension to give you.

Okay, I don't think you're gonna be able to go from an extension of stay based on education to one based on marriage to a thai inside the country. I say that because I've never seen them change a reason for an extension from education to something else. :/ Every person I know (a LOT) who was on an ED visa extension and went to change the reason, had to leave the country and either get a 30 day visa exempt stamp so they could apply for a Non-O inside the country OR get a Non-O outside the country from a thai consulate

I think you're gonna hafta cancel your extension, and then go to the border to get a 30 day visa exempt stamp THEN you can apply at the immigration office for first a 90 day Non-0 visa based on marriage and after you get that you can apply for a yearly extension of stay.

I hear it is much easier for farang ladies marrying Thai males than farang males to Thai ladies. Not sure of the truth of this.

Two options: Ask Immigration to convert your reason of stay into a Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage with Thai National or if you can not travel get a letter from the doctor and apply for Extension Of Stay based on medical reasons.
