Hey guys. Due to this whole corona virus that’s going on, I’m trying to get ahead of it all before it’s too late to do anything. Maybe I’m just being paranoid considering I have about 7 weeks until it expires. I know a lot can change between now and then. 

I would like to get some info/insight as too what my options are going to be for me visa wise. My visa is valid until May 5th but I’m planning on staying here a bit longer. I’m not exactly sure how long, maybe a couple more months. 

-Canadian passport holder

-No extensions this year (2020)

-Here on a 3 month single entry Non-O based on marriage to a Thai 

-Staying in Bangkok with my wife

Thanks.

Then you can do two land border runs. Each gives you 30 days plus added 30 days extension available at Thai Immigration 1,900 Thai baht fee.

These two get you 4 months plus the family visit extension 2 months = up to added 6 months stay.
