Hi everyone, just wanted to provide an update as my husband (US) and I (Thai) just went to the Bangkok Immigrations Office (Chaengwattana) today to apply for the Non-O Thai Wife 1 yr extension for my husband and in addition to all the document requirements that has been circulated in this group, my husband has to provide a hand drawn map to our house as well. Also, since we're not renting and staying at my family's house, we submitted a letter from the Head of Household (my dad) that he permits us to stay in his house, in lieu of the rental agreement (along with copy of house registration and copy of Head of Household ID). The officers accepted the letter without question. Lastly, we were there for 7 HOURS as walk ins.. so, pls make an appointment before hand to save time. Oh, and make sure your bank book AND bank letter is updated showing today's date (date you apply). We didn't have any transactions in his bank book since Oct and we got yelled at for not having the correct date on the book. We ran downstairs to the Bangkok Bank on site and took out some cash at the ATM and updated his book at the Book Update machine next to the ATM.

Looks like we're all set with everything... We're asked to come back on Dec 25th for the results, but my husband also got a notice to do a 90 report in mid Feb. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and assuming we're already approved and just pending a home visit.

@admin if this post inappropriate for the page, no hard feelings if you have to delete it 😁. Just thought our experience would be helpful to others.

After the non-o (Thai wife) yearly extension got approved, does the 400,000 still need to be left in the account for the whole year until the next extension?

I am an Indian passport holder.

Thank you

Hello, I am applying for the Thai wife visa extension (2nd time) in Chiang Mai. I have the updated list of required documents from Immigration. My question is does the bank statement have to be for 12 months? and if so, does anyone know how many days Bangkok Bank usually takes to process this. Thank you.
