Robert Lagas Todd Daniels, Please advise.
I have been advised by Chaeng Wattana and other sources that you can extend a non-O Family visa into a one year extension based on marriage to Thai.
I have transferred my US pension to Thai Farmers Bank (53,000 baht/mo), provided proof of income, and all the K bank statements for my local immigration office’s perusal.
They tell me that income more than 40,000 a month applies only to foreigners with Thai children. Bangkok says otherwise.
Please when you have time explain to me how to extend my non-immigrant type O Visa, as my wife and I have been married almost 30 years.
If you would be so kind to help us it would be much appreciated.

PS why do these different Immigration offices Interpret the rules so differently? Please advise and thank you very much.
