Okay, I just got my 30 day under consideration stamp after applying for one year extension based on marriage, with 400k seasoned. So I am good. Asking for a person not a member here.. Say if your local immigration office did not accept monthly income as proof of finance for applying for a yearly extension based on marriage (not the first yearly extension). Even though you have bank letter and 12 months statement showing international transfers well above the required 40k per month. Your embassy doesn't make the affidavit anymore, so you then have to put 400k in an account and season them to apply again.
If you had still some time left on your current stamp, and asked for the 60 days extension based on visiting family (the wife), giving you enough time to season the money, would you then be able to apply for the yearly extension following the 60 day extension directly, or would you need a new non-o to start the process again?
He was told to come back next week, as the IO that did not accept monthly income excused himself with the bosses being away. So maybe (hopefully) when the boss is back, they will accept the application as it is. There is also an option of getting pension papers from home country notarized at the embassy, and presenting those along with bank papers. Just thinking about what the scenario would look like, if they for some reason insists on 400k only..
I know there is Savanakhet, but this person would really like to avoid having to leave the country.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question discusses the scenario of applying for a yearly extension based on marriage when the local immigration office does not accept monthly income as proof of finances. The person considers applying for a 60-day extension to allow time to season the required 400k THB in a bank account, and whether they can directly apply for the yearly extension after the 60-day extension without needing a new NON-O visa. Comments clarify that it is possible to use the monthly income method with documentation from international transfers and that a 60-day family visit extension can be utilized to meet the financial requirements for applying for the yearly extension.
