Which extension of stay are you applying for? An extension of stay based on marriage, OR an extension of stay based on raising half-Thai children? For the extension of stay based on raising half-Thai children, there are NO seasoning requirements for the 400K THB (unlike extension of stay based on marriage)

OP@Jon *******
iv seen so many different websites saying they are the immigration Stuart *********
@Jon *******
and what immigration website are you referring? There’s lots. There’s 70+ different offices, and many have their own websites. Not all are current in what’s needed. Stuart *********
There’s been no changes for at least a couple of years. For what reason would you be applying? Marriage, retirement?

OP@Stuart ********
yes i have this in my own account i created couple weeks ago just making sure that the requirements are still the same 🙂i live with my wife and family not at a registered address. But its the address i gave the immigration when i came to ThailandStuart *********
@Dale *********
you or your wife or your landlord have to file a TM30 (within 24 hours of your arrival). You’ll need proof of this filing on applying for an extension.

Dale Kitching. This is the online facility for registering the TM30

so i wil be okay if i just pay the 2,000 Stuart *********
@Dale *********
it’s something that many don’t do, some offices don’t enforce it, but many do. Completely up to the office you use as to whether it’s an issue. Fine for not doing it is usually capped at 2000 baht. Dale **********
OP@Stuart ********
i never did this its the first iv ever heard about it Stuart *********
The best way is if your wife or landlord register to be able to do this online. Then you can file a report for any date. They don’t check the 24 hour issue, just the fact that you’re registered.

im married and have my baby daughter here alsoStuart *********

so you need 400k in a bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply. Generally it needs to stay in the account for 30 days after (during the under consideration period - but that’s office dependant) but after that you can spend it as you like. Only needs to back to 400 two months before the next extension. Activity
