ok, understood. You do not have a visa any more, you have a 1-year extension of stay permit

I smell some discrepancies. How could he have been issued a Non-Imm-O visa based on marriage on 15th of June in his home country, entered Thailand after this date and only being issued an extension until 16th of May LESS than one year later?

you are qualified for visa-exempt entry. But you still must obtain the COE. You will have to apply online and follow their instructions. Need health insurance, ASQ hotel booking, flight details, and the PCR test to board the flight etc.

for the applications to the 1-year permit of stay based on being married to a Thai, he needs to fulfill the financial requirements, which are either a deposit of 400,000 THB on a Thai bank account or proof of monthly income of a minimum of 40,000 THB

@Stuart ********

the extra Covid19 insurance must take him as far as the compulsory insurance - for 365 days counting from the date of re-entry

@Daniel ****

yes you will require a health insurance for the full 365 days you will receive upon re-entry

@Daniel ****

keep in mind that you will require a health insurance for the full 365 days from the day of re-entry

@Amanda ***

to my knowledge, you can only apply one time for the 60-days family visit extension per entry

19.04.21 is the earliest date when they expect you back for the application to the 1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on marriage to a Thai. That's 30 days before your admitted stay ends. They expect you to show the financial proof needed for the 1-year extension. Nothing said that you can't apply for the 60-day Covid9 extension, or the 60-days extension based on family visit. You can, but these 60 days are not the right way to obtain a long-term stay in Thailand. Only the 1-year EOS based on marriage is. What goes for the documents for the Covid19 extension , you can use the search function of this group to find it "covid-19 extension"

@Dave ********

the limit is 20,000 USD for importing into Thailand undeclared, however the limit for exporting it out of the USA WITHOUT declaring it, is 10,000 USD
