Does the 400k Need to Be in the Bank for Any Length of Time Before Applying for the One Year Extension of Stay Based on Thai Dependant?

as people can see from Robert's post and their images there is NO seasoning required for yearly extensions based on raising a half thai child, period end of story.

HOWEVER what the real rule is and what your immigration office SAYS it is might be very different things entirely. MANY offices are using the same criteria for seasoning the funds for raising half thai children as they are for marriage to a thai (2 months before you apply for the extension AND asking you leave the money in the account during the 30 day under consideration stamp).

The only answer that is gonna carry any weight is what your immigration office does. That's who you need to be asking.

It seem my answer is not the one the OP want and he refers to

. As Tod is an admin he can open the post again to share his thoughts and stop the discussion who is correct.

Other option is call the Phuket Immigration and just ask.

It gets more bizarre on this page.

Post a question, then post your own answer

Based on Thai Dependent? For marriage with a Thai National or having half Thai Children it is at least two months prior the application date.

Not sure about Phuket but here in Buriram it is three months.
