I have the following problem:

My marriage visa expires on September 1, 2021 but I will travel to Germany from early July until end September 2021. At the immigration office I was told that I can extend my visa earliest 30 days before it expires and because I will not be in country my visa will expire and I would have to apply for a whole new non-O visa in Germany before travelling back to Thailand.

Does anyone have any advice whether there is another solution.

Thanks for the replies and yes, a new non-O in Germany is probably the easiest option, just hoped I could avoid the trip to Frankfurt.

By the way, one visa service in Pattaya offered to get me an extension of my existing visa before I travel for 35,000THB. I thankfully denied.

You only have 2 options, travel after you've got your new extention of stay or get a new Non Imm O in Germany. The latter option should be easy enough

Not really. But it will be easy enough to apply for a new visa from Germany for when you return. All the other covid-related stuff you'd have to do anyway, so there's not much difference

Short of changing your Germany trip, no.
