Hi, my non O visa expires on 30 Sept. Have a thai wife and child. Due to covid, business took a hit and as such I did not have the luxury of seasoning 400k for 2 mths. I've read somewhere that requesting for a 1 year extension based on having a Thai child only requires 400k on the day of the application itself, no 2 mth seasoning required. Is this true?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking clarification on whether they can apply for a one-year extension of their Non-O visa based solely on having a Thai child without needing to maintain 400,000 THB for two months prior to the application. Responses suggest that while official guidelines may allow for this, the interpretation varies by immigration office. Recommendations include checking directly with their local immigration office and considering a temporary 60-day family extension to allow for funds to season, should the need arise.
