TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about having overstayed their 90-day limit on a marriage visa in Thailand by two days. The conversation highlights options for addressing the overstay, including paying a fine at immigration or leaving and re-entering the country for a new 90-day stamp. It's also discussed that the user's visa type (multi-entry Non-O visa versus extension of stay) affects the advice given. If eligible, the user may apply for a year-long extension based on marriage, provided they present necessary documentation.

If it's a year long, multi-entry Non-O visa you need to either go to the border , pay your overstay fine, stamp out of thailand, stamp in and out of another country and then stamp back into thailand to get another 90 day stamp <- which you'll do every 90 days for the validity of the visa itself.

OR

You could go to the immigration office, pay the overstay fine and apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension for 1900baht.

Those are your choices. :)

unfortunately, you either misunderstood or were told incorrectly. :/

IF you have the 400K baht in a thai bank account for 2 months before you apply you can get a yearly extension of stay.

You would apply when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp. It would go under consideration for 30 days and then you would go back and get the year extension stamped into your passport. It costs 1900baht.

You would however have to start doing 90 day reporting (IF you were in the country for 90 days or more). :O

AND if you're going to exit/re-enter the country during the year's extension you would need to get a re-entry permit (either a single entry for 1000 baht or a multiple entry for 3800 baht).

Exiting the country after you get the year extension without a re-entry permit would cancel your extension.

Thanks everyone I got a 60 day extension and the shiela told me if I have money in the bank I can apply for one year with no need for reporting or extending. So I might go back and do that.

So....here's one to throw out there. If he gets an extension I'm thinking technically he will also have to do a 90 day report? And, depending on where he resides, make sure he has filed a TM30 or he may be fined.

And this post highlights the peril of asking with the wrong terminology :O It becomes really hard to give accurate advice.
@Ron ******
tried to suss out what was what but I still am not sure of the answer.

Remember there is a giant difference in what you do depending on if you're on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa from a thai consulate in another country

OR

if you're on a year-long extension of stay from the immigration office inside the country.

@St***
, Do you have a VISA in your passport like the top image? And were you stamped into the country for 90 days when you arrived

OR

Do you have an extension of stay in your passport that looks like the bottom image?

Hi I have like the top page.
Ron *******
I did kind of try that route but he says he's over his 90 day stay and doesn't appear to do 90 day reports? He also asks how he could stay for a year.
Tod *********
Okay, how about we find out FIRST if the O/P holds a year long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage from a thai consulate OUTSIDE the country (the kind where they exit/re-enter every 90 days

OR

If they hold a year-long, extension of stay based on marriage that they got from the immigration office INSIDE the country (the kind where they do 90 day reporting).

The correct answer for what the O/P should do depends TOTALLY on what they think they have that they're calling a "1 year marriage visa"

If you are talking about your 90 day report you can submit it up to 15 days before and 7 days after your 90 days.

Have you overstayed your 90 days or have you missed a 90 day report? Its all looking confusing

@Steve ****************
you will need to take your wife along with her ID and your marriage certificate if your going to immigration to get the 60 day extension.
Ron *******
I see your from New Zealand. I've no idea what the deal is on proven income for New Zealand passport holders.
Ron *******
You can apply for an extension on the basis of being married to a Thai at an immigration office in Thailand.You'll need to show 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account OR proven income of 40,000 baht a month. You will then not need to leave the country BUT you will then do 90 day reports if you stay more than 90 days in each period.

Thankyou, I can also apply to stay one year can’t I? Without mucking around with reports is this true do you know?
Ron *******
Then you either go to immigration, pay the 2 days overstay and ask for a 60 day extension to visit your wife (you will get 58 days because your already 2 days over) so a total of 2900 baht OR leave the country, pay the 2 days overstay and come back in again on a new 90 day entry. If you leave it, then it ramps up 500 baht a day in fines and your risking a ban of a year if your caught and arrested on overstay.
