Hello everyone! My Visa based on married to a Thai national is due for renewal in july. If i get hired by a company this month and get issued a work permit, is it possible to renew the visa if i have a 40k thb salary for three months from today? Thank you in advance! 🙏🏼

Answer summary

The original poster is seeking advice on renewing their marriage visa to a Thai national, which is due in July. They inquire if obtaining a work permit and earning a salary of 40,000 THB for three months will allow them to renew their visa. Responses indicate the need for 12 months of income for a visa extension based on salary, but suggest that since the OP may change their visa status to that of a work permit, the income requirement might differ.

The OP is asking about changing his visa status so he wont require the 400k seasoned for 2 months.

.correct.. but he's not getting a spouse extension on 3 months of 40k salary. Needs to be 400k 2 months prior balance or 12 months salary of 40k.

You need 12 months consecutive for the income route otherwise it’s 400k 2 months before your application date NOT 2 months before your extension/ visa expires

depends on the company and immigration office. Normally Non-Bs need to be obtained outside Thailand, I've seen some people get them in country successfully though. Really a
