"they should extend it to September 26th"

They will not extend anything. She will go on to overstay, which is currently legal until September 26th.

I don't think you understood my comment. I will write again more clearly.

Step 1. Get your extension and WP cancelled.

Step 2. Go on to Amnesty (an amnesty is not an extension of anything. Amnesty literally means a pardon for overstaying. So Thailand will let you overstay in Thailand with no fine or imprisonment until Sept 26th. No you do not need to go in and get anything for Amnesty, it is automatic. HOWEVER in your case you need to cancel you current extension and WP)

Step 3. Go to your embassy and arrange your paperwork, freedom to marry cert, etc.

Step 4. Get married.

Step 5. Take your marriage Cert to immigration and apply for either a 60 day family extension OR a year long extension of stay based on marriage (MUST BE BEFORE SEPT 26TH..!!!). Depends what they will give you. You might need to get the 60 day first. Who knows. BECAUSE you will be on amnesty, this extension will start from the 26th of September

Step 5. Get the stamp in your passport and drink a beer because hopefully you can now stay in Thailand past the 26th of September.

As far as I know...When your extension expires, you will go on to amnesty. In the mean time get married. When you get your marriage cert, get a 60 day extension of stay based on marriage or just try for the year extension straight away. You are marrying a Thai man and do not need to show proof of funds. Extensions of stay from amnesty are currently added on to the end of the amnesty which is September 26th. So as long as you get your documents sorted out before then and secure an extension, it will start on the 26th of September and you can continue staying legally in Thailand. If I am wrong the gurus will correct me.

Married or have a Half Thai child.

Did you transfer your 400k in from outside of the country? for the NON O...?

@Joe *****

Normal Overstay fines are 500 baht per day. Maximum of 20k Baht. If you get caught overstating, you can be arrested, deported and blacklisted. In other words, get an extension of stay before the 26th of September or, if you can't, go home.

@Ray ******

Good Luck. I just got my NON O in country last month (because I never had a NON IMM visa before and was NOT on amnesty) and will be getting my 1 year extension of stay next month.

@Ray ******

As Benjamin has said a few times, forget about the NON O....But normally (Not now). Yes you normally can get a NON Imm visa in country from a 60 day family extension. BUT you ALREADY had a NON Imm before and are on amnesty.....For a NON Imm in country, you need to transfer the 400k in from abroad. For the 1 year extension it doesn't matter where the money comes from, as long as the balance has been above 400k, in your account, in your name, for 60 days. Also the best solution is to ask immigration directly, as these are not normal times.

@Ray ******

You don't need a NON Imm visa. You already had one before, when you entered the country. The ED visa is a NON Imm visa, after which you got an extension of stay and then went on to Amnesty. So you will then do a 60 day family visit extension of stay, and then a year extension.

It is possible to get a NON O in country, but NOT while on amnesty. You are basically just changing the reason for extending your stay in Thailand to marriage from education...

@Ellie ******

I believe that is correct. For an OA visa, insurance can be from a non Thai company in your home country, as long it covers Thailand for the required amounts. If someone then gets an extension of stay in country, at the end of the OA, the insurance must be a Thai company.
