Hallo Tod, I now have a 3 month visa non O, after my quarantine I will go to Immi immediately in Pai. Can I get 1 year as married. And open a Thai account beforehand and transfer 400,000 there.

The money must be in the bank at least 2 months prior application date and your wife has to be present if you apply

Yes...when you finish ASQ take your Thai wife with you to your local Thai Immigration office and ask for their list of requirements to obtain the one year extension of stay Married.

Can we also add the requirement for landlords ID and housebook copy and lease agreement to this list of requirements. I'd also note that depending on his wife's arrival, she will have to quarantine for two weeks also thus cropping the timeline even more.

yes she will need to quarantine on arrival. That's why I suggested the possible need first the 60 days Family visit extension if needed.

No, as these documents you name are needed to register the address and must be done within 24 hours of arrival,

Not when you apply for something else and pay an extra fine of maximum 2.000 Thb.

yes she needs to be with you.

You are now stamped in for 90 days. And when your Thai wife returns in October ...you can apply for a 60 days Family visit extension.

Make sure your 400,000 Thai baht is in your Thai bank account in your name only TWO MONTHS BEFORE you apply for the one year extension of stay.

Timing is key to this...

Be careful with your timeline to accomplish this.

NOTE THE UPDATE I MADE..

As you entered Thailand on a Non O Married...for 90 days...

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHOW THE 400,000 as an International transfer...just make sure the funds are in your sole named Thai bank account TWO months BEFORE you make application for the one year extension of stay.

Thank you

@Tod ********
