Can I apply for a one-year extension based on marriage after extending my Non-O visa by 60 days?

Non-O Visa Visa Extension Marriage Visa Proof of Funds Thai Immigration Chaengwattana Immigration Office

Feb 3, 2024

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I have a Single Entry Non-O based on marriage from Savannakhet, expiring 19 Feb.

I have proof of funds in my own bank account, but only since 02 Feb.

As I understand it, I can extend my current visa for 60 days without proof of funds. 

My questions: 

- If I get the 60 day extension and wait until the funds are 2 months old, can I then apply directly for the one year extension based on marriage? 

- If so, how early can I make the switch? (kitting out a new house so need to be able to use that money again ASAP)

My local immigration office is Chaengwattana, if that makes any difference.

Thank you.

Okay well that came off the rails pretty fast 🙁

I would say at this juncture we are DONE.

I will leave it to each and every one of you to decide how you're going to do it once you get the under consideration stamp based on marriage to a thai in regards to leaving the funds IN until you get the year, or pulling them out. 🙂

You CAN indeed apply for the one 60 day visit thai family extension for 1900baht, then wait until the funds are seasoned two months before you apply for the year extension.

So it would appear from your post that will be any time after about April 3rd you could apply for the year.

You'd apply for the year extension, get a 21 day under consideration stamp, then go back on that date to get the year extension inked in
