My year was thwart but Pneumonia and Covid and basic survival and being defrauded by my previous land lord so it’s my fault completely but would love some advise on how to proceed. Cheers.

I will attempt to reply to your question with several options for you to consider...

1. ..Get the COVID extension?

The last day to apply for the 60 days COVID extension is August 24th...ask your local Thai immigration office for their requirements to apply.

2...Or family visit extension?

IF you are legally married to a Thai AND you have not yet USED the 60 days Family Visit Extension... go to Thai immigration with your Thai wife and ask for their requirements for the Family Visit Extension.

3...You could go to Savannakhet, Laos and apply for the One year multiple entry Non O Visa as Married to Thai...NO PROOF OF FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS is needed...(you don't have to show PROOF of 400,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name only)...that Visa will give you a 90 day stamp on arrival into Thailand .. and EACH 90 days you will need to leave Thailand and reenter Thailand which again gets you 90 days stamp each time during the one year validity of this Visa.

Hopefully this will solve your situation.

Actually an extension is exactly what I need right now so that I can have the time to legitimately organise my correct request. Not looking for any dodgy stuff. Thank you so much 👍👍👍

you have several extension options...

Suggest you use the 60 days COVID extension FIRST...

Saving the 60 days Family Visit Extension for later if needed during this stay in Thailand.

We wish you success in your extension of stay efforts.
