. I'm sure you know that re entry permits expire the same day the extension does so I'm trying to understand your point here. Extension expired =re entry expired same time.

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

. Did you read it? What part of don't have enough time to renew it translates to " want it to end"??

A re entry permit is irrelevant to him now so why even mention it?

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

expires In 2 days regardless of reentry permit, so would be a total waste of 1000baht.

Can't help you with visa advice if we don't know what passport you hold or why you are coming here.

Cost of food and accommodation is entirely up to what you like or want, so can't help you with that either.

Being more specific might get you real replies.

. You can get an "accompany spouse " O visa. But he needs to obtain his ED visa first and you will need paperwork from his school to get yours.

@Paul *******

. Yep. Wife forgot tabien bahn when we registered marriage at Amphur. Grey one fixed that

Give it 2 full working days, if not approved by then, I'd go. You can be up to 7 days late if you do it in person. My last online took 2 working days ,did it last month.

. Always pays to go at least a few days early for extensions, this is a classic example why. Forgotten or incorrect paperwork can cause same issue, yet alone funds.

My situation was a little different . I was due to return to Australia same time my yearly extension was expiring. Was going to get a new visa in Aust and return on that because of funds, (much lower financial requirement ). 4 days before I was due to fly out my wife was rushed to hospital. I wanted to stay here for her but didn't have the 400k in 2 months. Went to immigration and explained situation. They bent over backwards to help me and said that I can have a 60 day extension. I organized the 400k immediately and when the 60 day ext was due to expire they gave me another yearly spouse extension with no issue. It's all about being prepared for the unexpected. Going early buys you time.

@Henrik ***

. I have personally done this for same reason.. Yearly spouse extension -> 60 day visit family extension -> yearly spouse extension. As said above you can only use it once per visa/extension combo.

If you've left it to the last minute and the 60 days isn't enough to fill the funds gap then you're out of options other than getting a fresh visa from outside Thailand and re entering to buy the extra time. This was all explained to me thoroughly by a senior imm officer at Changwattana face to face.
