I am from the USA, and I entered Thailand on January 23. My visa exempt expires on March 8. I understand that I am eligible for a 60-day covid extension which I intend to take care of on my own. After that I need to stay on in Thailand as I've accepted a job at an international school that begins in August. That means that I will need an alternative visa for the period between May and August. I am married to a Thai national (11y years) and have had the marriage visa in the past. I have the required funds in bkk bank account to be eligible for the marriage visa, however my Thai wife is still in the USA on business for another 6 months or so. We own a condo in Bangkok, and a farm in Chaiyaphum; both in her name.

I understand that her not being present effects my ability to receive a marriage Visa and extension based on marriage......does anyone have advice? Please let me know, thank you
