Two quick questions for Jomtien/Pattaya expats: I just handed in my application for my first one year non-immigrant "O" extension. I have my "under consideration" stamp. When I return in 30 days, to the immigration office (Jomtien), are they going to want another bank letter, statement, and updated bank pass book to show I haven't withdrawn my required amount since turning in my application? The immigration officer told my Thai wife that all I need to return with is my passport. Also, I definitely want to obtain the multiple entry stamp/option.  I know that is done the same day I pick up my one year extension. But, I didn't indicate I wanted a multiple entry when I turned in my application. Was I supposed to do anything when submitting my application with regards to the multiple entry? Thanks in advance all....my first go around and just want to do everything right. Cheers

Non-O has a LOT of reasons, but since you have an under-consideration stamp, it is most likely Non-O marriage to a Thai or having a Thai child. For those reasons, no general (means country-wide) requirements to keep the bank balance for a specific amount after you get your extension accepted for under-consideration.

For those, no general requirements to keep a specific amount in the bank account, but why not just bring an updated bank book in case?

You have to apply separately for a multiple re-entry permit for a 3,800 baht official fee (or 1,000 baht for a single re-entry permit).

You will want to apply for a re-entry permit (multiple or single) when you get your whole 1-year extension.

NOPE, none of that

Nope, you're fine. You BUY a re-entry permit separate after they ink in the year extension.

Single re-entry permit is 1000baht

Multiple re-entry permit is 3800baht

You just show up with your passport on the date the stamp says to go back on and they'll ink in the year extension, THEN you can buy a re-entry permit

thank you so much for the quick response! Your help and information is greatly appreciated! You and the other's have been providing me helpful guidance through my whole process...which actually begun many months ago when I was living in Mexico with my Thai wife and preparing for our transition to Thailand. The information given by you and the other's has been 100 percent accurate and made my transition much smoother. Thank you sincerely!
