Well, technically, you’re not stuck in home jail. There’s no requirement that you be in your home during that period. You just have to apply on a date and pick up your stamp 30 days later.

What you do in between those two dates is up to you.

I put in my application, had my home visit the next week (which they were able to schedule) and then took a trip down south and sat on a beach for three weeks before driving back home to collect my stamp.

There are two types of tourist visas. One is a single entry visa that you can obtain anywhere. That is good for 60 days and can be extended for a total of 90 days before you have to leave.

The other is a multiple-entry tourist visa. Also good for 60-days but can be extended for a total of 90-days

However you can leave after 90-days and re-enter and start a new 60-days.

You can obtain a single-entry in most neighboring countries. The multiple-entry is pretty much only available in your country of legal residence.

At the moment, nobody knows what the situation will look like after the amnesty period ends.

Right now, you would likely not be able to re-enter. And you would need special permission that which is unlikely for a tourist visa.

When the amnesty ends, most folks will need to leave and it is unclear whether or not they would have a way to come back in until Thailand normalizes tourism entries.

I had/have a 1-year ME Non-O based on visiting Thai family. I received a 1-year extension based on marriage yesterday.

@Mark *******

I’ll take it as my good deed for that day. I get to make an immigration officer feel good having me come back. LOL.

@Tod ********

Thanks. That was what I was thinking. Wasn’t sure though.

Mark, I may stop by and as as well. Just to make sure.

@Mark *******

No, just mentioning that it’s an extension based on marriage of a ME non-o as a way of also communicating the last extension I received prior to the extension based on marriage.

I got the 60-day extension rather than a full 90-day stamp just before the amnesty kicked in.

Just not sure if the 90 days begins based on last extension, extension while under consideration, or date of marriage extension.

@Tod ********

Nope, no such paper. Only my departure card.
