IO has been asking for police clearance certificate to extend Non-imm O (marriage) in Bangkok. I extend stay permit based on married to Thai last 3 years. This is first time experiencing such requirement. Is this same to other provinces? Or new rule?

Allan Batten made a post but it had a misspelling and was adding a spurious link in the post :O

I messaged them about it then deleted the post (and mistakenly gave them a warning :/ ) I didn't mean to warn them I meant to have them repost it without the mistake

I'll do it now

They asked

Sorry, just out of interest, US passport, 50-plus of age:

Suppose during visits to Thailand you managed to open a Thai bank account in y'r name. Then you transfered international 65k฿-plus into that account for at least 12 months. After that you bought a NON IMM O visa, based on Retirement in the US and after arriving in Thailand AND after 60 days you ask for a year extension based on retirement, can you use these 12 international transfers instead of 800k฿ (2 months before already deposited) on the bank ? I'm a bit confused because I read many times that for the first year extension you need that 800k฿ in the bank. Thanks !

Good morning.

To obtain the non-immigrant O retirement visa annual extension using the sum of the bank deposit and pension income, is required a sort of income certificate, but it's not clear to me, I need to find precise and reliable information on which documentation must be shown to demonstrate the requirements (again: the sum of the pension income and financial deposit that reaches a total of 800,000 baht).

In addition to the obvious bank statement, I don't exactly understand what must be shown regarding the pension income and where, a possible document, can be requested.

Thanks for the help, it will be precious as usual. 🙏

Hi folks

Has anyone done the 180 day extension for the DTV yet?

I’m applying via Muay Thai route

I checked with TMT Agents in Phuket and they say I need to provide documentation showing continued enrolment in the Muay Thai when doing the extension.

IS THE AGENT WRONG?

Has the government still not confirmed the difference between getting the "Workcation" and the "Soft Power" versions of the DTV? If someone gets a DTV for a business in 3 years will they need to show its still operating or will Soft Power DTV holders need to show they are still enrolled in a Soft Power activity down the line? If the registration part is different but everyone gets the same visa then wouldn't everyone just get the Soft Power version because its easier if you dont have to prove you still do the Soft Power?

Hi, I'm on a non immigration O visa (Thai Spouse). I started a new job this month after 6 months unemployed so I had no income those 6 months.

My extension of stay paperwork is due to be submitted early May. Do I need to keep the 400k in my account as part of the submission or can I now show them my employment contract as I'm on more than the monthly requirements, or do I need to keep the 400k in for this year's submission as I haven't had a full 12 months of salary? Thanks in advance

Hi. I’m not sure if I have already asked

This question on this site.

Ref. The requirements for the first

Year extension of a marriage visa

As I am now on uk state pension.

Is as I understand is 400.000.

Baht in my Thai bank account for

At least two months before

Applying. Now this is where I

Get confused about the second

Year extension. As I have been

Told so many different things

About the requirements?

Can I show 12 months statements

From my Thai bank account

Showing more than 40.000.

Going into that account each

Month from my uk bank account.

To apply for my second year

Extension.

Can someobdy spell out ALL MANDATORY DOCUMENTS required at Immigration to receive my first ever NON O Retirement “1 year extension of Visa”. I’m concerned becuz current “money seasoning” will push my first available day to visit IMMIGRATION, to within 10-12 days of the expiration date of the current 90 Day NON O I used to enter the country? I couldn’t control the time it took getting a Thai bank account setup and wiring 800,000 from my foreign account. Again —- one the day of my appointment, what Documents does immigration require to grant the first 1 YEAR RETIREMENT EXTENSION OF STAY?
