Hi guys, ref seasoning of funds if I have over 800k Thb in an account (been there a while) but it’s not clearly a foreign deposit, I then bring 800k Thb under a designated deposit (clearly shown)do I still have to wait for 3 months to apply for extension or will the other money count towards the seasoning aspect

I need expert advice please: my wife and I are going to get a retirement visa. I've deposited the required sum in the bank. Now I have to wait two months (May 16th).

We are on a 30 day extension that expires April 15th. I need to go to KL to close out a bank account there, long story but my card stopped working and my money is tied up. No access to the website either.

Would I be able to fly to KL and apply for a 60 day visa? So I can stay longer and avoid more border hops, or is it not worth it? Has anyone done this in KL and how many nights would I have to stay there? TIA

Thanks

I need to renew my extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. How long before it expires do I need to apply? Is the 2 month seasoning of the 400k 2 months before the expiration date or the application date? Thank you!

A small query.

I will be applying for a non imm O visa in UK, then i plan on applying for the yearly visa based on marriage in Thailand.

I think i know whats needed.

My query is i wont have the 400k baht to put in Thai bank account till my second week.

So the 60 days seasoning of funds wont be ready to show till ive been there for about 70 days...giving me 20 days left on visa.

Is this ok ? Plus is it right i could apply at the end of the 90 days because they will give me an extra 30 days consideration?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for any advice.

Lesson of the day;

Seasoning of funds using banked money for extensions of stays.

There are a several types of extensions of stays that require proof of funds AND if someone is using the "banked money" method (where they have the funds in a thai bank account in their name) there are specific "seasoning" requirements for those extensions.

By seasoning I mean the money must be in the account a specific number of days BEFORE you apply for your extension (not before your extension is due).

--Extensions based on marriage the seasoning of the 400K baht is ALWAYS 2 months (even though some immigration offices tell you it's 3, it's really 2)

Police Order 327/2557 Clause 2.18 line 6

--Extensions based on being over 50 (retirement) the seasoning of the 800K baht is 60 days for your first yearly extension and 3 months for every yearly extension after that. (NOTE: 60 days may or may not be 2 months and 3 months may or may not be 90 days, that's just how the rule is written)

Police Order 327/2557 Clause 2.22 line 4

--Extensions based on raising half-thai children the 400K baht has NO seasoning requirements

Police Order 327/2557 Clause 2.18 line 5

--Extensions based on raising foreign children the seasoning of the 500K baht is 30 days for the first yearly extension and 3 months for every yearly extension after that.

Police Order 327/2557 Clause 2.11 line 5

NOTE: this is ONLY for applying for extensions of stays at the thai immigration offices INSIDE of thailand. These seasoning rules have NOTHING to do with applying for VISAS from thai consulates in other countries.

Sorry this was long, hopefully it was helpful

And thus ends the lesson of the day.. ;) :P :O
