ORIGINAL POSTERHi All. I hope everyone had a nice Songkran. My phone didn’t survive it! Sadly 💦
Quick question.
I’m currently in Thailand on a 90 day non O. I plan to apply for my marriage visa at my local immigration office in Nonthaburi on day 60 (I heard you maybe able to do it after 45 days, not sure if that’s true?) So I take with me:
- My passport
- My wife will be with me so she’ll have her Thai i.d
- Marriage Certificate/documents
- Supporting documents as proof of the 400,000 bht security deposit in a Thai bank account are as follows:
* Updated bank book or passbook.
* Bank letter stating that the money was deposited to the account from an overseas source not less than 2 months prior.
Anything else I need to bring with me or is that it?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Dom

Did you marry in Thailand or overseas.. additional documents are required if your marriage certificate is not in Thai.. such as a Kor Ror 22.

In Pattaya they asked for 4 pictures, made by neighbours in front and in your house and a google maps printout of the location of your house. In addition they mentioned that it might be necessary to bring two neighbour to the immigration office, who can testify that you are living with your spouse... Fortunately I was allowed to skip this... And the letter from your bank has to be written the same day as your application at Pattaya Immigration...

3 months minimum of bank statements. House book.

There is no proof the funds come from abroad when getting a year extension on a non-O visa based on marriage and the bank letter doesn't have anything but your name, passport, account number and the balance they day they write the letter,
You also need to have them print out a 3 month detail transaction report (they can do it on demand) that's what immigrations will use (in addition to your bank book) to see that the balance was above 400k baht for 2 months before you apply for the extension

Definitely GO to the Nonthaburi Immigration office with your thai wife well before you're going to apply for the year extension and get the hand out listing the exact requirements from that office
Also make sure you have a TM30 filed showing you're registered as staying in the area served by the Nonthaburi Immigration office too

thanks Tod. I hadn’t heard about the TM30. I looked it up though and it states it can be filed online so that helps. Will get that sorted.Graham ******
@Dominic ******
You can do the TM30 online with the help (copies of documents) from your landlordTod *********
@Dominic ******
this is what the standard bank letter looks like too that you want the bank to give you in addition to the 3 month detail transaction reportReply to

You might have trouble getting that letter I am not sure. You can also ask for ‘credit advice’ which are statements that show incoming transfers.
Tod *********
@Jack *******
they should have no issue getting their thai bank to issue the standard bank letter OR print the detail transaction report showing the balance for the last 3 monthsJack ********
@Tod ********
the ‘letter’ I have seen states the account balance and not that the transfers came from outside Thailand which the OP asked for.Tod *********
@Jack *******
correct, the letter as I showed in the example is just a couple lines long and does not show where the balance came fromI believe the O/P didn't realize that there is no proof of funds origin using banked money method when applying for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai or retirement. 🙂
