ORIGINAL POSTER

Question to extention for family visit and this followed by extention based on marriage. Start from Amnesty with METV 60day entry in March until now.

I searched this forum and the immigration website and if I understand correct it works like this. But still have some question in details. See below.

A) Have no valid Visa or Stamp in passport -> Amnesty since 10 of May

B) will apply for extention based on family visit for 60days -> Valid stamp start from 27th Sept (?) (is it the NON-IM stamp?)

Requirements:

# proof of marriage

# passport

# marriage certificat

# ID Card of wife

# houshold registration 

What is this houshold registration?

House rental contract maybe?

C) With stamp (B) from extention based on family visit it is possible to apply for extention based on married to Thai.

Requirements:

# alien must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (NON-IM).

--> is this the stamp from (B) ?

# passport

# proof of releationship and marriage

# 40,000THB monthly or

# 400,000THB

--> Is it possible to use any embassy certificate as a proof of income and if yes, how should this look like?

Because on immigration website it sounds for me only Thai Bank account can be used for proof of funds. But here I did read, it is possible to use an "affidavit of income from abroad".

Problem is I do not have and get a Bankaccount here in Thailand. Tried several branches but all end up wiht, sorry no Visa, no workpermit,... (but will try further). Maybe easier with the 60day family visit stamp, but then there is the 2month inside the account problem.

Thanks for any help!

>>Requirements for an extension of stay based on visiting Thai family

>Each immigration office has their own requirements. You need to go to your local immigration office and ask for the handout. You *WILL NOT* need the 400K THB in a bank account.

>I believe you may be able to get the extension of stay using the amnesty from a multiple entry tourist visa. If it is approved, you will get a 60 day extension of stay stamp in your passport.

Ok, for the 60 day visiting I did read the same, the 400K or 40k is not a requirement.

Yes, I will do so and ask at the Immigration. My wife is working for a couple of days and she cannot go with me. Therefore I need to be prepared when I go there. My thai language skill is very basic. And from my expierence, if not prepared with correct questions and pictures, there is a big chance of missunderstanding and confusing.

Can I kindly ask for some advice how to ask for this "handout"?

>>household registration

>I believe that's a TM30. Your wife's housebook may also be a requirement too.

Ok, I will try to ask this too, when i get the handout.

>>alien must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (NON-IM). is this the extension of stay stamp?

>I'll make it easy, and I'll say yes. I never heard of anyone not being able to go from an extension of stay based on visiting Thai family to an extension of stay based on marriage.

Thank you.

>> Is it possible to use any embassy certificate as a proof of income and if yes, how should this look like?

>Talk to your embassy, they would know. The USA is *NOT* issuing this certificate.

I have a apointment with german embassy to get certificatet my income. But I am not sure this will be the exact letter the immigration need from me.

Still my question is, if I get the letter from embassy. Is the immigration accepting this letter to fulfill the 40k monthly income requirement?

Yes, I will try to ask immigration too about this.

>>Problem is I do not have and get a Bankaccount here in Thailand.

>Each bank branch has their own policies. Try bringing your wife.

I heard about this. Also took my wife. But even in Bangkok Central World they "can not".

>Hopefully this answers your questions.

Thank you very much and of course it helps me a bit further.

Each immigration office has their own requirements. You need to go to your local immigration office and ask for the handout. You *WILL NOT* need the 400K THB in a bank account.

I believe you may be able to get the extension of stay using the amnesty from a multiple entry tourist visa. If it is approved, you will get a 60 day extension of stay stamp in your passport.

>household registration

I believe that's a TM30. Your wife's housebook may also be a requirement too.

>alien must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (NON-IM). is this the extension of stay stamp?

I'll make it easy, and I'll say yes. I never heard of anyone not being able to go from an extension of stay based on visiting Thai family to an extension of stay based on marriage.

> Is it possible to use any embassy certificate as a proof of income and if yes, how should this look like?

Talk to your embassy, they would know. The USA is *NOT* issuing this certificate.

>Problem is I do not have and get a Bankaccount here in Thailand.

Each bank branch has their own policies. Try bringing your wife.

Hopefully this answers your questions.
