Quick question regarding my Non-O family Visa.  I put the 400,000thb in my account about 15 days ago.  I had some unknown automatic payment come out of that account yesterday and the account momentarily dropped below 400,000thb.   Is this a problem for the 2 month waiting period?  Will this reset the 2 months since it briefly went below 400,000thb?  Any advice is appreciated.

Answer summary

The question revolves around the impact of a temporary drop below 400,000 THB on the two-month seasoning requirement for a Non-O family visa. The discussion includes clarification on different family visa types, highlighting that only the one-year extension based on marriage to a Thai national has a seasoning requirement, while others do not. Suggestions were made, including applying for a 60-day family visit extension if needed.

If you have a problem with time funds are seasoned...apply for the Family visit extension of 60 days at your immigration office.

If you have not already used it.

I think lesson might be not to keep bare minimum in account, have cushion. I hope to not live on edge with money like that. I would question if I should even be retired or living in Thailand at that point

How many time we can apply family visit 60 days extension?

Example:

If I applied 3 month married visa enter to Thailand. Then apply family visit extension 60 days, when it finished 60 days then..

Can we continue apply another family visit 60days again?

It depends on the immigration office. Some allow it once per entry, and some allow it once per visa.

But the point is moot since the Multiple Entry visas are not being sold now

I ask this question because there is a 2 month seasoning requirement for the 400K THB for a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. There is *NO* seasoning requirements for a one year extension of stay based on raising half-Thai children. There is *NO* financial requirements for a 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family.

For getting an actual Non-O visa ("The sticker") OUTSIDE of Thailand, the financial requirements depends on the Thai consulate. Some require the 400K THB( *IN LOCAL CURRENCY*) to be seasoned in a certain amount of time, and some don't have any financial requirements.

What is a family visa? Is this a:

One year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai wife?

A one year extension of stay based on raising half Thai children?

A 60 day extension of stay based on visiting Thai family?

The seasoning period restarts when you have the 400K THB in the account.

Do you have half-Thai children?

>Does that reset the clock on the 2 month seasoning period because it went below 400K thb?

Yes it does, IF you're applying for a one year extension of stay based on marriage. IF you're raising half-Thai children, you can apply for a one year extension of stay based on raising half-Thai children. There is *NO* seasoning requirements.

yes I do have a half thai child. I know it starts when the 400K goes into the account but an automatic payment came out of my account that I wasnt aware of so it slightly dipped below 400,000thb for a moment. Does that reset the clock on the 2 month seasoning period because it went below 400K thb?
