I have no idea. The office in Korat has often had a bad attitude with me and my wife for no good reason. They just said you can only extend one time and refused me. As far as I was aware every Non O marriage visa at the 12 month mark before it expires you would be able to extend a further 60 days with the reason ‘visiting Thai family/ wife’.

@Ellie ******

how long does this take? Can I apply in country (Loas) and then get my visa within a few days. I have never done this. I have a young son and my wife is pregnant with no family support.

@Brett *********

this is what I was looking for. Thank you for the clarity on what happened yesterday. I’ve never heard it happen to anyone before and it was a bad day for me. I wasn’t proud of how I acted and on another day it could have gone very differently.

@Tod ********

Thank you again. It is reassuring to hear. I just want to go about my daily life legally and get on with it with my family. I’ll try my best to be as accommodating as one can be should they visit a third time.

@Lloyd *******

I’m sure they are re-checking due to me moving house a week before my application due to needing to move promptly due to a burst pipe in my old rented accommodation. I moved 15 houses down in the same village, and had the owner of the village vouch on their first visit as a guarantor. Also returning from the UK a few weeks prior to the application as I went home to see my dying grandmother. I know they don’t care about my circumstances but after all has been explained in the first visit I would think that’d be enough.

@Tony ********

Someone who talks with sense. Thank you. My wife had offered them coffee and given a box of quality streets last visit. Maybe, we were too accommodating first time. Never one visit for 11 years and then twice at once just because I did my first Non -O at their office?

I’ve lived here 11 years with a clean passport. I’ve taught at their schools and their children. I know I was wrong to get angry but wouldn’t you when you are constantly hassled for no good reason. The office immigration office was Korat.

Make sure they do also not cancel your multi entry visa when you come back in. That has happened to me. Show them the mistake and they will rectify it.

@Ellie ******

Thank you very much.

@Tod ********

could I do the same in May extending my extension to 60 days married to a Thai wife? I went for my last boarder bounce last week and have 90 days until May 15th until I have to exit. I have not ever used the 60 day extension married to a Thai wife before. I’m unsure, if I can as I’ve extended already (my multiple entry Non - O visa is Feb 28th 2024 to Feb 28th 2025).
