Thanks Tod Daniels, I thought this group was more appropriate for this question than Bangkok Expats. I have forgotten to transfer the 400K required to do 1 year the visa extension of my type O (by about 3 weeks) so I guess I am unable to actually do that this year. I think I will have to go to an embassy/consulate in a neighbouring country and get a new visa and extend that after returning. I would rather not go to Laos. I would like to go to Kuala Lumpur. The conflicting stories and info on the KL embassy is confusing. So I would like to know the following things... 1. Can I definitely get the type O based on marriage and/or dependents in KL? 2. The following I have seen from the thaiembassy site as the documents required...
2. Dependent Visa (Dependent of spouse or parent possessing Thai nationality)
1. Visa application form duly filled out.
2. Applicant passport valid not less than 6 months. The validity of 18 months is
required for one-year visa application.
3. Copy of passport.
4. (4x6cm.) Photograph(s) of the applicant, taken within the past 6 months.
5. Original and copy of official marriage certificate (For spouse).
6. Original and copy of official birth certificate (For children).
7. Copy of Thai identity card (of spouse or parent).
8. Copy of Thai House registration (of spouse or parent).
9. Bank Statement with a minimum deposit of 100,000 Bath
Is that correct?
I have also seen 400,000. What bank does that have to be in?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the process and requirements for obtaining a Type O visa based on marriage at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur (KL). They mentioned having missed the financial requirement for extending their current visa and are exploring options to obtain a new visa. Users in the comments discuss various considerations, such as the differing financial requirements for dependents versus marriage, recommendations for other locations (like Penang and Savannakhet), and alternative options like a 60-day extension based on family visits.
