Can I get a one year extended stay based on marriage with a Thai on a non immigrant ED visa?
When applying for one year extension on the base of marriage it's either 400k in a Thai bank account or 40k monthly 'income' from my home country; and I need a paper from my embassy confirming that right? Do I have to go to my embassy in person to get it or is it possible to get it another way? Or is there another way to get this extension?
I have a Swedish passport and I'm on my second one year non immigrant ED visa.
Best regards.
TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your non-immigrant ED visa for one year based on marriage to a Thai citizen, you need to either maintain 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying or demonstrate a monthly income of 40,000 THB from abroad, verified by your embassy. You will likely need to obtain a letter from your embassy confirming your income, which may require a personal visit, depending on embassy policies. It's essential to cancel your current education-based extension before applying for the marriage extension, and you'll need to submit the application in person, accompanied by your Thai spouse.
