My wife and I will be extending our visas in Chiang Rai.

I have a Non-O (with work permit) & my wife a Non-O (following me).

My foundation admin has said we will need to show immigration our wedding certificate and ALSO a statutory declaration from an embassy stating we are married.

Is the statutory declaration for marriage really a requirement?

If yes, can I use one that we have from Bangkok many years ago?

Thanks for you help :-)

Reporting a positive experience of doing a 12 month extension (based on being over 50) at Chiang Mai Immigration yesterday. Arrived around 8.15am, finished by 10.45am. Less than 5 minutes wait in the queue for a ticket. Plenty of empty seats in the waiting area. Some visa agents there but with the customer ie did not see any of them carrying multiple passports/paperwork. I used a statutory declaration (notarized letter) re receiving 65K a month into my overseas bank account. I got this from the Australian Embassy about a month before they stopped issuing them, thanks to the advice in this group to do that. I wasn't asked for proof of funds, although I had brought that with me. The stat dec alone was enough. Not sure if I was just lucky that I had an Immigration staff member that was in a good mood, or if Chiang Mai Immigration have become more lenient and have stopped asking for multiple proofs of the foreigners overseas income. A very much improved experience, whatever

I have a retirement extension that expires on May 7.

I would like to replace it with a marriage extension.

The Australian embassy in Phuket witnessed my stat dec for proof of income in early January and told me it would be valid for 6 months.

I went to Phuket immigration this morning and a volunteer informed me that I can no longer use the stat dec, although the Australian embassy insisted it will be ok.

Can somebody let me know my options please.

I have a question nobody I speak to on the phone at the Australian Embassy can answer. I'm on a retirement visa and I've just been told the Australian Embassy not notarize Statutory Declarations in which the declarant states their income. You have to show them a Thai Bankbook with 800THB that's been there for more then three months. Correct? I just found out it was the case for the UK and America. I have seen a post that indicates that you have until the 6th of January to get a statutory declaration notarized as from the 7th it is no longer possible. Thank you everyone in advance. ๐Ÿ˜€

Sorry if this has been asked a lot before. I'm an Australian aged 57, in the last 12 months have been in Thailand for a total of about 3 months. Have rented a house in Phuket and about to start the process of applying for an "O" retirement visa. I have all of the necessary criteria already except medical certificate, but would prefer not to transfer the 800k to a Thai bank account if avoidable. My question is about whether to apply for the visa in Australia or Thailand. I've been told that if I apply in Australia, I can provide a statutory declaration that I intend to transfer the 800k and provide evidence of the funds in an Australian bank account. Firstly, is this the case, and secondly, is it possible to do this in Thailand also? Does anyone have recent experience about this? I'd like to avoid using lawyers in Thailand and do this myself. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I'm seeking some up to date advice on Phuket immigration office's "current" requirements on renewing a one year extension of stay based on retirement. As this is my first renewal I am not completely sure what may be required. My current extension of stay expires on 8 September.

I am an Australian citizen and the original visa issued in Melbourne Australia was a non O ED...

I know I will need a statutory declaration for income from the consulate, but what else???

Advise by anyone who has just completed will be much appreciated...

Good afternoon all

Next month I will be lodging an TM7 application for one year extension of my O-A non immigrant me visa.

I'm good to go on the requirements except I visited Saraburi Immigration a couple of days ago and was told by an extremely helpful lady officer that my Aussie Government DVA pensions need to translated and certified by the Aussie Embassy in BKK. My pensions exceed the 65k thb monthly requirement.

Does anyone know how to go about this?

I can download from the MyGov website and printout of my pensions which shows clearly all the indicators they come from a Government website. As I am in Saraburi its quite a haul to get to BKK... could I email the document as an attachment? Could I have it translated locally I have a translator I use.. and send original plus translation to the embassy.... or am I obliged to front personally? In which case Does anyone know how long I should plan on staying in BKK to do so?

Hopefully someone can help guide me through this.

Thanks you.
