What should I do to renew my Marriage Visa after moving to Phuket without a local bank branch?

This is what you need for documentation:

The full-service office (including Extend Marriage-Thai Spouse) is the Phuket Town Immigration Office, Room 103, enter from outside on the ground floor just past the drive-through window. There are fixed chairs outside for waiting and usually an immigration officer is stationed outside to check you have all the necessary paperwork.

The Patong Immigration Office is mostly for servicing short-term visitors (tourists) and while they do 90-day reports and certificates of residence, they do not do long-term extensions and in general they do not like to see holders of long-term extensions. I highly recommend the Phuket Town Immigration office, which in this case is the only one you can use. There is also a satellite office in Blue Tree for the north of the island but it is also only able to handle short-term visitors not someone looking for a long-term extension.

DO NOT pretend you're still in Bangkok I suggested that when I thought you were getting a retirement extension because they're issued on the spot.

A marriage extension you get a 30 day under consideration stamp and they can come check you at your address during that 30 days. DO NOT do the "pretend I'm in Bangkok" idea 😮

the key point is that the funds are in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for your extension.

SO if you open a new account and transfer the funds into it there's no way it'll be in that account for 2 months.

AND

There's no telling if the immigration office will take proof that you had it in your citibank account before that or not.

You need to GO and talk to them to see what they will accept and you need to go do it soon seeing as you're only 12 days from your extension being due

@James *******

nope that won't fly because he needs the money in an account for 2 months and even if he transfers the funds from the Citi-bank account to his new thai bank account they're going to say the "seasoning chain was broken" and not allow it
