Iโ€™m on a 60 day extension of a 90 day non o. Need to apply for a 1 year marriage extension. My 2 month funds seasoning is up on the exact day my leave expires. Is it still possible to apply? Someone told me need 14 days left on leave when applying. Thanks in advance for any info.
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for a 1-year marriage extension in Thailand, as their 60-day extension of a 90-day non-O visa is about to expire. They mention that their funds seasoning will be complete on the same day their extension expires and inquire if it's still possible to apply. A commenter clarifies that while one generally needs 15 days left on a visa to apply for a specific extension, for the year extension, applications can be made any time from 30 days before to the expiration date of the current visa. However, they caution the user to ensure all documents are in order when applying to avoid issues.

Someone was confused. You need a minimum of 15 days left on your visa exempt entry or tourist visa entry to apply for the 90 day in country Non-O visa because of the review period.

BUT

Once you have the 90 day Non-O stamp to get a year extension you can do it any time you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp (meaning from 30 days before right on down until the day your stamp expires)

The down side in your situation is that IF you don't get the documentation all correct the day you apply you don't have any time left on your current stamp to re-group and apply again.

I would go to your immigration office well before your expiration date, get the hand out listing the requirements at that specific office (photos, bank documents, marriage documents, thai wife's documents, lease, TM30, copies, etc) because you got one chance to pull this off before you run on overstay at 500baht a day

This is a general list of requirements for an extension based on marriage to a thai. It is NOT office specific (which is why I said go get the one from your office)

Best of luck with it, you're fine, you're just running it right down to the wire time wise
