Hi everyone. 

A quick update. 

If you can remember last week I put a post on about my Non O visa not coming in time,for my flight. 

I took the advice from most of you and bought a onward ticket. 

Got to check in with emirates wasn't asked for visa or onward ticket 

Even though my return flight wasn't for 3 months. 

I went to my local immigration office yesterday and got a 30 day extension, the very nice lady said you can come back and get another 60 day extension based on marriage, happy days. 

I was about to leave the office and my phone pinged, haha sods law it was my visa, email. 

So I showed the officer, no problem she said come back get another 60 extension, then leave Thailand and return to activate your visa, giving you another 90 days ,and then I could extend for another 60 days based on marriage. 

And to top it off I could extended for 1 year,marriage or retirement. 

Sounds a lot to take in but the officer made it easy.so it's looking like a short holiday to Cambodia in a few months 😀

Is there a time valid for the Non O visa ? If there is make sure you activate it before it expires or you loose it.

Many visa are only valid for 3 months to be entered on to activate

OK so beware of the 30 day extension plus 60 for thai family does not take you past the 3 months Chris hate to see you loose it after the pain to get it.
