Non-O Visa Visa Extension Covid-19 Impact

ORIGINAL POSTER

Good morning, I have a question for a Non-O visa (Thai Wife) 1 year Multiple Entries obtained in Savannakhet Laos. My first "Leg" of 90 days is still valid for 60 days, but now with the Covid situation I am not sure what to do ... For this type of visa you have to leave the country every 90 days (you can re enter right away to activate the 2nd leg of 90 days). My problem is that maybe in 60 more days I will not be able to leave the country due to this situation. What to do, can I extend this 1st leg ? How to do it ? This Covid 19 situation makes everything very blur visa wise ... Thanks a lot for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is concerned about their Non-O visa (Thai Wife) that allows multiple entries and requires them to exit Thailand every 90 days. They have 60 days left on their current 90-day limitation but are uncertain if they will be able to leave due to Covid-19. A comment suggests that if the borders remain closed, the user could apply for a 60-day extension based on marriage.

okay, you're on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage where you bounce out and back every 90 days to get a new 90 day stamp.

Your current stamp doesn't expire for two more months <-- and just so we're clear that's a LONG TIME from now to start worrying about it.

The good news is IF the borders aren't open by then you could apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension based on marriage to a thai and that would give you another two months.

Why only for 60 days? I make 1 year extension with same type of visa.

Hi Tod, I know 2 months is long ... I like to plan ahead, just in case. If I apply for that 60 days extension, my Non O visa that I obtained in Laos will still be valid ? How to apply and where for that extension ? I am living in Bangkok. Thanks a lot for your input, you shed some light in those gloomy days.
