I am i same situation and got my 60 day extension in Samut Prakan about 1.5 months ago and they also said I needed to do day reporting starting 90 days after getting the extension.

One thing to add. You can apply for the extension up to the last day of your admitted until date (although I would not leave it that late in case you have to come back with more paperwork). When your application is accepted you will get a new under co nsderation stamp for 30 days allowing you to stay past your original 90 days while they process the visa, gives you2-3 weeks to open the bank account and make the deposit.

Your situation does not meet any of the current criteria for entering into Thailand. I think you would need to petition your local Thai embassy for compassionate permission to enter. Not sure if this is likely to be approved but it cant hurt to ask (other than tbe time it takes you). I would expect you would still have to do quarentine after arriving i BKK though.

@Todd ********

visas obtained for people who do not meet the formal requirements for the visa. For the extra fee the rules are bent and you can get a visa that is "real" but if ever investigated by immigration in the future you can have lots of problems since the visa was not obtained legally.

The 60 day extension is for visiting family (Thai spouse or Thai children). Doesnt matter what visa you came into the country on but must have a Thai family member.

As Robert said you can qualify for Non O visa (married to Thai) to apply for a COE and enter Thailand. However is your employer a Thai company (you said teach online outside of Thailand). If the employer is not in Thailand you will not be able to get a work permit. Thailand does not recognize digital nomads who live in Thailand but work online for companies outside of Thailand.

Did they give you a travel agent name/link to use to book the ticket? I am not sure what country you are in but beyond that I have no ideas to help you. Commercial flights are still banned to Thailand. The people I know of who have arrived here either booked their flight through a teavel agent specified by the embassy or booked a flight on an airline specified by the embassy for a future daye, sent the flight info to the embassy and the embassy then worked with the airline ti change the flight date. Maybe someone else knows of a different way. Best of luck.

The only reports if people sucessfully returning tk Thailand are those on flights organized through the embassy (some people have reported taking a flight from a dufferent country and working with multiple embassies (maybe you coukd talk to your local embassy about thus as an option). If you are in a country where your embassy will not help you then I am not sure there are any options at this time. All commercial flights are banned from Thailand and there is no official date for this ban to end. And yes ubfortunately different embassies follow their own procedures. Best of luck.

Reason they cancel is no commercial flights with passengers are allowed to land and have passengers get off in Thailand currently, there is no date when this will change. Only repat flights or cargo flights where passage is aranged through the embassy can bring passengers to Thailand. The airlines just accept bookings and hope they will be able to fly because it helps their cash flow.

Or 400k in a bank account in your name only for 2 months (money can come from inside Thailand or outside).
