What are the rules for extending a non-O visa based on marriage in Thailand?
Hello. I am currently in Thailand on a 90 day non-O visa. We just deposited the 400k in a bank account. My non-O expires on 16 September. I am married (in Thailand) to a Thai lady. We want to spend a few weeks in Vietnam for tourism.
1) Can I apply for a 1 year extension only after two months seasoning of funds, or can I apply earlier?
2) Can I get a re-entry permit and leave the country for a short holiday and return before the 90 day non-O expires? Or will that simply invalidate the 90 day non-O visa?
3) I’ve seen a timeline graph for those who request extension based on retirement. Is there a similar timeline graph for the application of an extension based on being married to a Thai?

Answer summary
The individual is currently holding a 90-day non-O visa and has deposited the required 400k THB in a bank account for a potential 1-year extension. They inquire about applying for the extension before the 2-month funds seasoning is complete, the implications of obtaining a re-entry permit for a short trip to Vietnam, and the existence of a timeline for immigration processes related to extensions based on marriage to a Thai national. Responses confirm that the extension application requires complete compliance with requirements on the day of application, including funds seasoning, and that a re-entry permit is indeed possible to maintain the current visa status. It's noted that while the extension process may be similar to retirement extensions, the specifics can vary.

Q 1) Can I apply for a 1 year extension only after two months seasoning of funds, or can I apply earlier?
-> You have to meet all the requirements including funds seasoning on the day of your application.
Q 2) Can I get a re-entry permit and leave the country for a short holiday and return before the 90 day non-O expires? Or will that simply invalidate the 90 day non-O visa?
-> Yes, you get a re-entry permit to keep your current stamp "alive" when you travel out of Thailand. You will be stamped until the same date as your current stamp when you are back and visa-class would be Non-RE.
Q 3) I’ve seen a timeline graph for those who request extension based on retirement. Is there a similar timeline graph for the application of an extension based on being married to a Thai?
-> I'm not sure what graph you mean. Basically similar procedures, but with differences on seasoning period.

Is this the timeline that he was looking for? I saw this in another post and remembered that someone was asking for it.

If “he” is looking for something they might consider asking “him” whether it’s the thing “he” is looking for.But yes, he was looking for this timeline. He thought there were separate timelines for extension on retirement and extension on marriage. He had this one already, read it again after Ellie’s comment and noticed it’s one timeline for both extensions.
He hopes it helps them too and thanks them for trying to help him.
He wishes them a great day. 😉

No harm done. It’s the intent that counts, despite my sarcasm.I had found it already, but thanks anyway for the effort.
The reason I am asking is that we are about to start building a house. We arrived in June, which would make me a taxable citizen this year. Inserting a holiday abroad fixes that.
I’ve read too many contradicting comments about bringing in my initial bank balance and whether or not that might be taxable.
So we are looking for a timeframe to go elsewhere (Vietnam) preferably before starting the build, without losing the status of my visa / extension application.

Sorry that’s why I added your name afterwards but I didn’t change the wording so it didn’t read correctly. My mistake but I do hope it was what you were looking for. 😄Peter **********
