Hi everyone,

I have a Non-O visa (Thai spouse) and am looking to extend it for another year. I have a working permit so originally tried opting in through a Thai employer, and I’ve almost completed all the documents. But, I don’t have any previous tax payment records in the country yet since I only started paying taxes here this year. These records should be available next year.

Now I've read the other two options: by pension as salary, and by securing a deposit of money sitting in a Thai bank account for '2 months'

I have a few questions:

1. Regarding the income certificate that meets the required amount, under which category does this fall? I already have the certificate (in Thai).

2. Do I still need to visit the embassy for this process, or are there additional documents I need to provide?

Lastly, does anyone have a reliable resource or checklist for these documents?

When I called Nakhon Pathom immigration office, they told me that without recent tax payments, I might need to leave the country and re-enter with a Non-B visa, which I think doesn’t seem to make sense in my case with Non-O visa. Any advice? Thank you.

DTV approved.

No contact of employment, a letter I wrote and my 2023 tax records is all I uploaded.

Not sure of this is the first confirmed DTV ??

Hi Guys

May I know if expats can get PR in Thailand?

If yes, may I know the process and after how many years we become eligible?

Denied 1 year extension of stay based on marriage because I only had tax record for 2 out of 3 previous months given that I left my old job and was not employed in September. Did however have all tax records for the previous 14 months including this october (just not September), and a letter from my current employer. Immigration told us on the phone that it would be fine if we had the letter and the previous year's tax records. Got there and they told us no.
