Hi, looking for advice, I'm married to a Thai national, and my yearly extension is up on November 29th, However, I was only able to put the 400k in my bank on September 24th (2 months seasoning takes it to Nov 24th) Will this be too late to apply for an extension as I will only have 5 days remaining on my Visa. Will they let me apply that close or will I have to do the spouse 60 day and reapply? Thanks very much any help is much appreciated.
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for a yearly extension of their visa as they are married to a Thai national. They are concerned about the timing since they deposited 400,000 baht into their bank account on September 24th, which meets the two-month seasoning requirement just before their extension deadline on November 29th. The comments clarify that it is possible to apply right up until the current visa expires, as there is no specific rule about needing a certain number of days left to apply.

you're fine, you need to have the 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your extension. There's no rule that says you need xxx days left before you apply. you can apply right up until the day your current stamp runs out

You need to make sure you get the documents, copies, photos, etc right the first time because you sure aren't leaving your self a lot of time IF you need to try again.

Make sure you go to the immigration office and get the most recent hand out and have your thai wife ask if there's anything NOT on the hand out that you need. last thing you do is need to mess up the first try and scramble to get required documents for another go at it
