FYI

There is in Thailand an Extension of Stay available named:

In the case of being a family member of a Thai National

(applicable only to parents, spouse, children, adopted children or spouse's children)

Depending on why you apply for this Extension of Stay, there are different financial requirements.

If you ask in this forum: I want Extension of Stay as dependent on Thai Family, tell the family relationship.

Parents are different than children or your wedded partner.,

As I do not know you or your family situation and I'm not going to search in your pictures to see if the person next to you is old enough to be your wedded partner, your child or even your parent, without correct information, you might get the wrong advice, Inform us to get the correct advice.

And be aware this financial requirement is only for foreign man being married to a Thai woman, no financial requirement for foreign woman married with Thai man,

I circled the two big differences with RED marker:

Thanks and I hope it makes it more clear, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Financial requirements vary based on the relationship to the Thai national. Notably, these requirements are applicable to foreign men married to Thai women, while there are no financial requirements for foreign women married to Thai men.

Just make one thing clear, this is about 1 year extension and not for 60days extension. Is this correct?
