How many back-to-back 1-year Non-O visa extensions can I apply for in Thailand?
Just wondering how many back to back 1 year Non O visa extensions can be done, is there a limit. ie if i have a 1 year non O visa for marriage and family can i then extend by 1 year each time indefinitely? Also how long before the extension application must the 400k have to be in the bank? Cheers.
Answer summary
You can apply for back-to-back 1-year extensions of the Non-O visa indefinitely, as long as you continue to meet the extension requirements. Specifically, the 400,000 baht must be deposited in your Thai bank account at least 2 months before you submit your extension application.

The 400,000 baht must be in your bank account 2 months before you apply for your extension. There is no limit to the number of yearly extensions you can apply for, as long as you meet the requirements for the extension each time you apply.

OPawesome. Thanks. one last question.. can i do a 2 month extension followed by a year extension?

Don't use your 60 day extension, keep it up your sleeve in case you fail to meet the financial requirements some time in the future then this can be used to season your funds

good advice ✅Matt *******
OP@Graham *****
ok. so it seems like i only get one 2 month extension whereas 1 year extensions are infinite. Can anyone else confirm that?Peter **********
@Matt ******
Totally correct, 90 day non-O, *one* 60 day extension, infinite 1 year extensions (*). That’s the sequence. Each step has its own requirement (listed previously in the thread).(*) “infinite” = until the end of your marriage or the end of the life of either partner, whichever comes first. If/when your partner passes or your marriage goes south you must report to IO and convert to an extension based on retirement (if you meet the criteria). Assuming no mutual children.

, this is what is on the police order about the 60-day family visit extension (unofficial translation though)

@Matt ******
it depends. If you have used the 2 months extension already, no, as it can only be used once per visa. If you haven't then it might still be possible, but like anything it will be down to the Immigration officer and office. So best to check with themJames ********

VERY good point ☝️Peter **********
@Matt ******
Yes, you can. I am going exactly that route starting next month. Have a non-O, will get a bank account in Bangkok, will then be touring a bit first, then go to the destination and get a local bank account, deposit money, extend two months and after that get the 1 year extension based on marriage.I am starting with a bank account in Bangkok just to make sure. I expect banks in Bangkok to be more experienced in handling new accounts for farangs. So if I get trouble from banks in the province (Sakon Nakhon) I will have the account in Bangkok.
As far as I know, the two months extension of the non-O is only possible for those who have non-O based on being married to a Thai, e.g. it is not available for those on non-O based on retirement. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong.

@Matt ******
why would you want to do that?Matt *******
OP@Marshall ********
Because i need time to get the 400 k in the bankLloyd ********
@Marshall ********
It works exactly that wayMarshall *********
@Matt ******
probably not. Doesn't work that way.

As long as you can meet the requirements you can apply each and every year
Tod *********
you can do yearly extensions of stay one after another year after year for as long as you meet the requirements. 🙂
The 400K baht must be in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before the date you apply for the yearly extension.
