My wife called Buriram immigration and asked about 2 months family extension on non O visa.. but they said now we don't do extension on non O visa.. I heard this and was shocked and he said if you want one year extension then pay 25000 for special case.. so what does that mean..he ask bribe?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported that Buriram immigration mentioned they no longer process 2-month family visit extensions on Non-O visas. Instead, they offered a special 1-year extension for a fee of 25,000 Baht, prompting suspicions of bribery. Comments in response indicated that immigration policies can differ by location, and many users advised that a 60-day extension based on family visit is typically available for 1,900 Baht. There is confusion about potential recent policy changes, with several users suggesting that the refusal could be a tactic to extract money. Ultimately, the community emphasized the importance of clear communication and understanding the specific immigration rules applicable in Thailand.
