I know it isn’t in the royal gazette yet, but yesterday I went to Immigration in chiang Rai to ask and they said extended til September 26 for sure.... for what it’s worth. Just sharing.
no it doesn’t. I have a WP for teaching that is valid another two years. I’ve had a non-o ME based on spouse for years and just always chose to get that instead of the Non-b. I can’t do the extension based on marriage due to finances. I want to switch to the B now because of this situation as the non-o ME is proving to be not strong in times such as this. I actually was supposed to fly out and get one in March but air Asia cancelled my flights and then the word shut down so I couldn’t any longer. Just bad timing and now I’m in a tough spot and waiting for see what will happen.
I wasn’t allowed to change mine from purpose of marriage to purpose of teaching. Their reason was because on the expired visa it says following thai wife. If it didn’t say that they would’ve allowed it. So weird
thanks. The whole concept is so weird if you really think about it for those that are already in country and maybe want to change visas. I bet many people would even be willing to pay more to be able to do it in country if that meant they didn’t have to leave. I know I would as I’m in that situation right now and just waiting to hear what will happen after July 31.
do you know the reason why someone cannot apply for different types of visas inside of “x” nation and it needs to be at a consulate or embassy elsewhere.... especially in these weird times we are in? Wouldn’t you think that immigration offices would be capable of doing it?
