Depends if you can travel out of Oz and get into Thailand before your visa expires, and that is unknown at the moment. If it looks like you won't make it before the visa expires, get a new one.

The Thai embassy is correct. Re-apply when you return to Thailand.

Amnesty is basically a pardon for overstay, which is normally illegal.

You probably won't get a 60 day family extension right now if you have no valid visa or extension to do it with. You will just have to wait and see what happens after July 31st, like everybody else.

Do you have a sticker in your passport that is a VISA or a stamp for extension...?

@Dave *******

They would have meant retirement when they told you that.

@Dave *******

Dave you are confusing 2 different extensions.....1. Marriage extension...400k for 2 months before...and usually keep it for a month after to be safe (it has never been 3 months before and 2 after)

2. Retirement extension...800k 3 months before application and 2 months after, mandatory for every renewal. (also min 400k for the other 7 months of the year)

Depends if separate trips or in one stretch?

You may be told to leave at the end of the amnesty regardless of where you are a resident. :( They would expect you to return to where you are a citizen :(

As far as I know, there are no countries that have made it impossible for their citizens to return.
