Hello, can I get some advice please?
>I have a half Thai child and a wife in Thailand.
>I used to have a non-imm O visa but had to leave Thailand for a while last year, and returned on 2/11/21. I didn't get a re-entry stamp, so that visa is invalid.
I arrived on 2/11/21 on 30 day visa exempt
Then I got the 30 day extension for tourism ended 1/1/22
Then I got the 60 day COVID visa/stamp ends 27/2/22
side note: can't get the non-O visa right now because not enough room in passport (needs two blank pages, I have only one blank page)
What would you recommend I do?
Apply for another covid extension?
Extension based on visiting Thai family?
Something else?
I just need 30-60 days to get my new passport sorted so I can get the non-O visa.
Thank you for reading
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on visa extension options. They have a half Thai child and a wife in Thailand, previously held a non-immigrant O visa, but currently hold a 30-day visa exempt status followed by a COVID visa. They need additional time (30-60 days) to obtain a new passport to apply for the non-O visa. Suggestions include applying for a 60-day extension based on family visits or a COVID extension, with recommendations to consult with an immigration officer.
