yes I gave them departure date end of Oct. so perhaps they consider that too.

Currently taking lessons in patience, crucial in this day and age.

thanks all for your efforts in addressing my question. I think I,m all good for now. there may be more, (questions) and in time to come answers too.

I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks everyone. Food for thought. I’ve got a few months to go over it again but looks like non O from UK and then go extension based on marriage root and then re entry permits. What a palaver!

Thankyou gang

no I shall take a look thanks

@Benjamin *****

thanks. Just to be clear I have never had a Covid extension, just a standard 30 day extension. “Based on unable to travel”? Do I need to somehow provide proof of this?

Thanks Tod. I arrived with a tourist visa (60 days permitted) then extended 30 days at the immigration office. Current extension good til 4th April. I believe I would need to apply for non o at least 15 days before expiration (Sukhothai). I fly out 3rd May. Sounds like Covid extension may be the best way forward for me. I need to do some research regards that. Please..is it straightforward enough, can it be applied for in advance of my current extensions expiration and other criteria?

@Tod ********

ok thanks that is clear. Would the extension of Visa require me to have insurance in place for that period?
