Will I receive a 60 or 30-day extension for my Non-O visa based on marriage?

Andrew let us the situation in Chiang Mai. I've seen posts about immigration being quite busy. Very curious to know what happens, how many days before your expiration you go, other details. thanx

I'm actually OK til 9 April but I'd rather go sooner than later

Are you getting an extension of stay for visiting family that's good for 60 days? OR are you getting the one year extension of stay based on supporting a Thai family?

>as I got it today and also told can only do it twice

Wait, what type of visa do you have again? I'm confused.

What extension did you apply for? If you applied for the extension of stay based on visiting family, it should have been for 60 days.

Tod Daniels, thank you I too was confused and thank you for your patience because know you have explained that's multiple times

Thank you

Benjamin Hays,

The OP has a multiple entry Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national purchased in HCMC (

@Juan *********

, am I correct).

He has three options:

1. Border bounce. At every bounce he gets a 90 day stamp. He can bounce in and out of Thailand every day if he wants. He can't do that right now.

2. Get an extension of stay based on visiting family. This extension of stay is good for 60 days, does not require finances. He may be able to get it once on the visa, or once for each entry stamp, depending on the immigration office.

3. Get an extension of stay based on supporting a Thai wife. This is good for one year, requires 40K THB of income a month or 400K THB in savings, and requires doing the 90 day reports.

@Ken *******

report to immigration every ninety day’s.

If he got a multiple entry visa, it'll be 90 days. If it's a single entry, he'd only be allowed to use the visa once, and it'll be good for a single 90 day stamp.

I'm in Chiang Mai so I'll soon find out if she needs to be there

the REASON you get the extension has to be there. Meaning if you're getting the visit thai family extension based on marriage to a thai you take the thai you're married to with you

I was in Phuket Immigration with my wife Yesterday asking about the extension of my stay and they said coz am married to a Thai woman i can get a 60 day extension visa but i have to show up with our marriage certificate. So i think its best you process it yourself don't use an agent
