FOR INFO ONLY
A friend had to change from 1 year m/e O by marriage to 1 year O
extension by 50+ (not for us to reason why).
His O is still valid but has been on amnesty since early April due to border closures after his last border bounce.
IO said no problem in changing (financials permitting) but the 1 year commences from the expiry date on his last border bounce. The 60 day extension used covering Apr-June doesn't count , neither does the application date or the amnesty/grace period. So in his case he only received just over 7 months.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user discusses the process of a friend changing their visa status from a 1-Year Marriage Extension (O) to a 1-Year Extension (O) in Thailand. The friend had been on an amnesty due to border closures and learned that the new extension would start from the expiry of their previous visa rather than the application date, leading to only 7 months of validity remaining.
