ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi

Just to share information, this morning I went to immigration in Nonthaburi asking about my husband visa.(Non-O) as his visa already extended 60 days in April. The officer told me after 31 July if still can not get any flight back home so thing can be like these

- Still has 7 days after 31 July to stay without any charge

- Embassy letter needed to extend visa but with the good reason why extend

for my husband case is his country airport is still closed

- Wait for an announcement soon. (SOMETHING POSITIVE)

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience regarding a Non-O visa extension for their husband at the Nonthaburi immigration office. They were informed that there are options available after 31 July, including a 7-day grace period without charge, but an embassy letter would be required for further extensions with a valid reason, such as closed airports in their home country. Additionally, a comment clarified that the 7-day extension must be applied for and costs 1,900 Baht.

For the 7 day extension you need to apply. You won't get them automatically and it's 1900,- Baht for that extension.

Nobody said its a 7 day extension.

Legally speaking there is NO 7 day extension... one applies for 30 days (lets say)... and when denied u r given 7 days to leave.

So its sorta like an emergency extension based on being denied.

Now the IO might've meant:

If u book a flight home... but the avail flight is Aug 3rd (lets say)... and u r in OVERSTAY for 3 days... we won't charge you.

Since flights are limited it would make a lot of sense not to charge overstay to all that leave during the 1st week of Aug.

Just a speculation tho

(Like everything else nowadays)

without any speculation: you gonna pay 1900.- thb for those 7 days you get for leaving the country.

As there is no announcement whatsoever, and this could not be issued until final day of amnesty, this seems dreamed up.

just wanna say: the 7 days aren't "w/o any charge"
