Fisrt off all, your University is only providing documents to apply for a visa or extension of stay at the Immigration Office.

You get OR a Non Immigrant ED visa which gives you 90 days of stay OR an

Extension of Stay depending on course length with maximum 1 year, what ever comes first.

If you like to leave during this issued stay, you buy a re-entry permit at the Immigration Office or last moment on some International airports. This re-entry permit is valid until and will give you the same date as mentioned in your passport as permitted until xx/xx/xx

I posted the rule and others posted the rules of renting property.

It is clear, how to avoid these rules or how to use other ways to show Immigration that you stay where you do not stay is not a good way forward.

Remember that people do get fined and those who advice to use alternative ways only laugh and type again and again.

Good luck.

I did not read any exception for AirBnB house owners:

The law: According to section 38 of the 1979 immigration act, "Land owners House owners, the possessor, heads of household, landlords or managers of hotels who accommodate foreign nationals on a temporary basis who stay in the kingdom legally, must notify the local immigration authorities within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the foreign national." If there is no immigration office in the province or locality of the respective house or hotel, the notification is made to the local police station.

NO, if you enter with a Spanish passport without a visa, you get 30 days Visa Exempt Entry.

If you buy a Single Entry Tourist Visa before you make your way into Thailand you get 60 days on entry based on the visa.

The Visa Exempt Scheme gives you 30 days on entry, it can be extended once with another 30 days based on tourism at a local Immigration Office, NOT on the airport.

If you plan to stay longer than 60 days, get the Single Entry Tourist Visa before you make your way into Thailand and get 60 days on entry and this can also be extenden once with another 30 days based on tourism at a local Immigration Office.

The Single Entry Tourist visa can be extended once with a 30 day based on tourism.

After that it can be extended on several reasons but that means you must have the correct documentation to prove the reason.

As example: Visiting family, marriage certificate and id wife

Medical Extensions, letters from Hospitals and doctor

Do not plan that your friend is unable to travel, airports allow people to leave and land borders are open. If your friend wants to stay longer, pick another visa like the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa which can give him almost 270 days inside Thailand.

The seasoning requirement is for the 1 year Extension of Stay, First he need to get the Non Immigrant O visa.

15 days remaining in Bangkok, 21 in Chang Mai, it depends on office, but ASK Immigration as when he goes to apply for the 30 day Extension of Stay based on tourism. AND ask the list with requirements.

Just to clear:

Is the question: Does anybody after this Covid storm applied for a new:

Non Immigrant O visa depending on husband with a Non Immigrant O visa based on over 50 years of age at a Thai Embassy in a neighbor country?

Every person has their own passport and their own visa, you can not add others on your visa, they can apply as being your dependent. (spouse)

To apply for conversion to a Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage and later for the Extension of Stay based on marriage the person needs 400.000 Thb on a Thai bank account. You mention he has only 250.000 Thb, which means not enough so he has to travel to a Thai Embassy who hass less financial requirements like the one in Savannakhet Laos.

OR

open a new bank account on his own name and transfer 400.000 Thb for conversion to the Non Immigrant O visa and later the 1 year Extension of Stay at a local Immigration Office.
