Hello groups, I will arrive in Thailand already with a non-immigrant visa o single entry. I have to wait 60 days before requesting the extension or can I do it after 45 if I already have the money deposited in the bank for 60 days? Thank

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the timeframe for applying for an extension on a Non-Immigrant Visa O in Thailand, asking whether they can apply after 45 days if they already have the necessary funds in the bank for 60 days. Comments indicate that in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, applications for extensions can be made with 45 days or less remaining on the current visa. Most other offices, however, require applicants to have 30 days or less remaining.

Bangkok and Chiang Mai will allow applications for extensions of stay when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp. Most other offices will do it when you have 30 days or less.

correct, for an extension based on marriage to a thai using banked money you need the 400K baht in the account for the previous 2 months and for an extension based on being over 50 (retirement) you need the 800K baht in the account for 60 days prior for your first application for an extension

Bangkok immigration. But to ask for the extension the money must be in the bank at least 60 days before requesting it?
