said, whether an IO allows you to apply for 90 day non-O on the basis of a 30 day visa exempt entry will vary depending on the IO you visit.

You need to be married certainly before you apply for a visa (related to marriage to your Thai wife). In my case, we were married in Feb 2016 and did some travelling. I entered Thailand May 2016 on a 60 day TV and during that 90 day period (60+30), I applied for the 90 day non O visa. Before that expired, I then applied for the 1 year non O visa (subsequently extended on yearly basis since then).

It might be best to enter on a 60 day TV and then use that to apply for a non o (based on marriage) visa.

@Robert ******

you werent sure it was 18 or 19 when you looked.....short of going to Immigration or back to the IC at the airport to clarify, how else do you suggest it is resolved?

@Eric ******

90 days with July 22 counting as day 1 makes October 19 day # 90.

@Robert ******

if they apply for the covid extension and get denied, will they get a 7 day to leave stamp in their passport? if so, will this affect future travel to Thailand?

(1) in addition to what

@Robert ******

said the ENTIRETY of the 0k baht must be in the Thai account for the minimun seasoning period.

FYI your 90 day report is not quite 3 months. IE if you enter Thailand on April 30 this becomes day 1. Day 90 will then be July 28?

@Robert ******

is this accurate?

@Brandon ***********

so if someone enters on a legal 60 day visa entry, and is entitled to the 30 day extension, they may well not get it?

@Ellie ******

so (according to you) a person is not entitled a 30 day extension on each legal visa entry, but is subject to the whim on the Immigration Officer on duty as to whether they get it or not?
