Why did immigration only extend my Non-O marriage visa by 7 days instead of a longer period?

Btw, you are a woman, so why don't you get the yearly extension based on marriage? There is no 400k baht requirement for foreign women, only foreign men.

Marianne Holmen Yes, but it's harder to do many of these, especially consecutively. Meaning if you do 90 + 60, leave Thailand to make another 90 days, it's hard to do another 60.

Greg is correct but it's better now. Meaning that they went from denied you entry and send you back to Laos, to now not allowing you to leave Thailand from that border unless you can somehow convince them that you won't try to come back from that border. So if they already know that they will deny you, they won't even allow you to leave Thailand to begin with. I say better because there is no gamble anymore. Went it happened to me late 2024 (denied entry). I had to go to Vientiane and fly back to BKK with agent.

Greg Alexander Btw, I'm Maxim Thibodeau . I remember your name, no idea why. We may have debated before. This is my wife FB. I know my stuff. I was hit by every line of crackdown: Volunteer visa crackdown, Ed Visa crackdown, first line of 60 days visit family crackdown, the 2nd wave, and the denial entry first wave in Nong Khai. You survive everything in Thailand with a good agent in your corner. Everything is possible still in 2026, even more so now that the Junta won the election. In fact, its easier now. Agents will start offering more packages. Its still possible in 2026 to get yearly extension with agent for ed visa, marriage, etc, without ever leaving your house. Nothing has change in that regard.

Greg Alexander Its 90 + 60, then 90 + 7 if you try again. Unless there significant time in between. But you cant do it back to back anymore unless lucky. Same thing with 60 + 60, its 60 + 7 after (for the last 2 years). The 90 + 7 is more recent (since late 2025), in line with the last crackdown. I'm in similar situation as OP. I've used the scheme a lot. 90 + 60, 30 + 30 + 60, 60 + 30 + 60, etc, Every single combo for over 10 years + sometimes stuff in between.

@Stuart ********

He can still do the 60 btw with an agent, even with that 7 days stamp. But probably for more than the 6-8k baht.

The 60 + 30 + 60, or 60 + 60 it's been crackdown for about 2 years. So this one the ship has sailed except 6-8k baht an agent will get it for you. The 90 + 60 is more recent but it's a matter of time before it's banned everywhere. But still can do that one too with agent.

Sorry i misread.

Greg Alexander oh 😩 sad

Mikkel Kruse out of which nose have you pulled this complete and utter nonsense? Show us the rules, please

Sujy Sujaree I got this extension a couple of weeks ago. No problem.

Sujy Sujaree you are misinformed. The 60-days extension based on "family visit" has never been discontinued. It can however be applied for only once per entry
