What documents do I need to apply for a 1-year extension based on marriage to a Thai with a Non-O visa?

My previous experience doing Extension of Stay (Thai Wife) based on income proof, the immigration would require tons of corporate tax documentation from my ex-employer (a publicly listed US MNC and also a BOI entity) - I know this because the HR staff told me that she need to take bunch of pictures of the workplace and also when I went to CW for interview, I saw a pile of my employer's corporate tax filings document in the package submitted by the visa agent used by the company.

This was after having worked with the company in TH for more than 2 years (I was under Non-B initially and yes, I also had all my personal income tax filing documentation submitted alongside).

long story short.. it felt like quite a bit of a hassle, although it was prepared by someone else and I got the agent doing the waiting and all. (Very different compared to the Non-B application under BOI).

After I left to start my own company.. I mostly just go with the 400K route since I self file and it's a way more straightforward.

using income from inside the country (by legally working here) requires a pile 'o paperwork and getting the hand out from your immigration office will make sure you aren't missing a document.

Also remember you have until the 26th of Sept to apply for this yearly extension (until amnesty runs out)..

I ask your nationality because citizens from SOME countries can still go to their consulate and get an affidavit of income from abroad notary document that is accepted by the thai immigration office as proof of income from overseas.

Other consulates (like the US, the UK & Australia just to name a few) do not offer that income affidavit anymore AND the only way to get a year extension by using monthly income method is to transfer the 40K baht in to a thai bank account in your name only each month every month for the previous 12 months before you apply for your extension.

NOT friendly, used to be good, now have a new Boss, obstructive to say the least!

Down near Chok Chom, Surin Immigration, near the Border.

Keep in mind this was at Kap Cheong, they wanted evidence of where the money came from, but it is not really needed, all offices make up the own rules.

Your Bank Statement must show income coming from overseas.
