@Jonathan ************

Feel free to join the O-A club LOL :D

@Tod ********

Many thanks, Tod! :)

@Benjamin *****

Sure. :)

@Benjamin *****

No. My husband's first ever extension is due a day after the OP's.

@Benjamin *****

Understood.

Phetburi today changed their tone by saying they were unsure if HQ would approve and that my husband would have to leave Thailand in 7 days if rejection was the case, as this was his first extension. Donno if the advice was 100% correct but we are sticking with the existing reason/basis which is retirement, as a result.

BTW THEY were the ppl who kept advising we could switch reason.

Sorry. I thought our experience might be relevant or useful to the OP, I did not mean to cause any upset or confusion.

@Bobby *******

No same visa just switching the reason. I first thought the same as you do, then I was corrected by the IO. :)

Phetchaburi Imm Office said a few months ago that they would allow my husband's O-A extension based on marriage. This is the first extension as well. The boss there said to me only a week ago that this would be down the Imm HQ in Bkk, something nobody told us before. Such reassurance!

@Stewart **********

Me, too! :) But if you are lucky, a free room may be available.

@Stewart **********

They let you pick one from the list although the list keeps changing. :)
