TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is facing challenges with their business multi-visa, which requires border crossings every 90 days. Due to COVID-19, they lost their 90-day stamp and are now trying to apply for a 60-day extension to stay with their Thai family. Immigration officials in Koh Samui informed them that the extension's start date is the submission date, which may complicate their situation as they are seeking an extension post-September 26th.

Apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment or based on marriage with a Thai citizen,

Why apply for only 60 days, the chance the land borders open in 60 days is small,

@Roman ********

okay, take your passport, visit the Immigration Office, ask for the hand out with requirements for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment and ask if it is possible to apply for 1 year Extension of Stay based on marriage,

Take both hand outs back home and see which one you can use by making the copy, tick the box, When all done, go back and apply
