Hello 🙂
I have three questions regarding my foreign husband styaing with me in Thailand. Please help advise whether I understand the matters correctly.
1. Regarding notification of residence, if I am the one who rents the apartment (only my name on the rental contract), I am the one who is obligated to do the report for my foreign husband who stays with me, right? Is there any difference or pro and con of having his name on the contract as a rentee too?
2. To get the residence certificate in order to use it to open the bank account for a foreigner, it’s not the same process as “notification of residence” right? Do I understand correctly that after notifying the stay of my husband which can be done online, I still need to go to the Immigration Office to get the document of residence certificate?
3. My husband has entered Thailand with 90-day non-O visa which will be expired on 4th July. After spending 12 days in quarantine, and moving in to our new place, we will be able to do all that required + putting 400,000 baht in the Thai bank. Letting the money stay for at least 2 months, we will have approximately just 5 days before visa expiration. Will that be enough days to apply for a-year extension or would you suggest we apply for 60-day extension first and then do the one-year later?
Thank you so much in advance and any advice is highly appreciated.
