Regarding the 'under consideration' period when obtaining one year extension based on being married to a Thai: there is a recent answer here about this type of extension that said "do NOT draw down any.of the 400,000 Thai baht money used to obtain this".
- Can you please confirm whether or not the 400,000b should remain untouched during the under consideration period?
- And if it should not be drawn down below 400,000b does that mean that when we go back to the immigration office after the under consideration period we have to bring proof that the 400,000b funds is currently still in the bank?
- What all is required to bring to immigration after the under consideration period?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the requirement to leave 400,000 Thai Baht untouched during the 'under consideration' period for a one-year extension based on being married to a Thai citizen. The user seeks confirmation on this point, asking if proof of the funds being intact is necessary when returning to the immigration office after this period. Comments suggest that many immigration offices advise keeping the funds in the bank throughout the 'under consideration' period and recommend checking the bank book on the day of the appointment to show compliance.
