Definitely not.

Is way more easy in Thailand.

I asked this same question last week but it was not posted by admin.

I was however given the reply by them that 1 year is only the maximum so it might be possible to ask for less.

I have since found out it is possible to request the IO to stamp you less than 12 months and that they will do it.

As with many things when it comes to IO offices though it might be different at other offices , this was at Jomtien.

Don’t need to get multi entry on OP plans.

Tourist visa covers until leave after 55 days then just get stamped in for 30 days when come back from Malaysia

@Abigail **********

Far better to get tourist visa as creates less problems if onward flight is 89 days later.

Also tourist Visa is cheaper and wouldn’t have to visit immigration on the plans OP has stated

How can get a family extension based on being married if he hasn’t got the marriage certificate in Thai or registered in Thailand.

Unless I am reading it wrong

@Ryan *******

Not sure what you are trying to say but as land borders are open you can travel to a neighboring country, the closer you are to a land border the more likely you are to be rejected for a unable to travel extension.

If you are waiting for a work permit but working then you are working illegally.

You are asking about a 60 day unable to travel extension, no such thing as a Covid visa extension. This extension is 1900B

Yep I did it this way.

Far easier to do it in country than back in your own.

60 day tourist visa, extend by 30 and apply for the Non O based on retirement when you still have more than 15 days left on the 30 day extension. Then the 12 month extension to your Non O Visa.

Gives you time to find a good place to live, sort out all the financial stuff and used to dealing with immigration.

No such thing. If have a 90 day non O visa based on marriage can get a 12 month extension to that visa cannot get another 90 day visa or extension

Of course, it doesn’t give you a Thai Pass, ability not to do Test & Go or any other restrictions that may be in place at the time. It just gives you the right to stay, in this guys case, until May 16th 2023 whether he leaves or stays. Just needs to be back in the country before that date.
