When I go to Immigration following the two months maturation of funds in the bank, how long does it take to get the 12 month stamp which will then allow me to leave Thailand and return home?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The time to get the 12-month stamp after the maturation of bank funds can vary. Generally, it takes around 4 weeks for approval, and you may need to provide substantial paperwork along with your application, including proof of relationship and home visits by immigration officials. During the processing period, a re-entry permit can be obtained, allowing temporary departures as long as you're back before the processing period ends, which could be 30 to 60 days depending on the immigration office's workload.
