Hi, I am preparing to apply for a 1-year visa extension based on my marriage with a Thai national. Here are my questions: Really appreciate if someone could answer them for me:
1. For the bank statement document, do I need to go to the bank to ask for it? Or I can just print out the bank e-statement myself? I already requested the bank statement and it was sent out to my email box but I am not sure if that is enough?
1. On the immigration office website, it says, "In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income
of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in
Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year." -- In my case, I am a foreign female married a Thai husband, does that mean this requirement actually doesn't fit me?
1. I am checking all the application forms on the government website but I am still not sure which one I should choose for 1-year visa extension based on spouse identity. Does anyone know which form no. should I choose? [members only]/
Thank you so much for the help!
