Hi just been to Immigration Div 1 with my wife to renew my Extension of Stay.
But moved from Retirement EofS (last year2019) to renewing this year to Marriage EofS.
We have been married over 4 years but it was always been easier to get the retirement EofS (less hoops and paperwork until the change) Basically because of the new more restrictive financial rules and requirements they brought in at the beginning of 2019.
So today I got my under consideration stamp in UK Passport for EofS based on Marriage and go back on 25th March 2020 to get the decision. So we are waiting on a home visit date to be arranged and booked. They said I could come back alone on 25/03/2020 and to bring with me my passport and the same bank book updated on the same day 25/03/2020 and a photocopy of that said updated page.
The process took 2hrs 30mins from walking into the Immigration Div1 to leaving and without any really problems. Think also may be midweek Wednesday might be a good day just in general. As panic seems to set in at the beginning of the week and the end. But that’s just my opinion.
I have one question.
What are seasoning and financial restrictions on the ฿400,000 of my new marriage EofS for the rest of this new years EofS and for renewal next year 2021.(How long and how much must stay in the Bank. The Rules have not been mentioned and I’ve not found this info anywhere as of yet. TYIA
