Hi everyone,

I have a question from a practical point of view. I understand that legally I am allowed to do this, but I would like to hear real experiences.

I recently received a 12-month extension of stay based on being a parent of a Thai child (Non-O visa). For the financial requirement, I have the 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account.

My question is: will there be any issue with my next extension if I temporarily reduce the balance during the year and then restore it at least three months before applying again, as stated in the immigration rules? Or is it safer in practice to keep the full 400,000 THB untouched the entire time?

Has anyone here done this successfully, either with a marriage extension or a parent-of-Thai-child extension?

I would really appreciate any recent experiences. Thanks!

Hi All,

I've just logged on to apply for a new e Visa Non O based on being a parent of a Thai child and I can only apply for a single entry.

Is this right? Or is it a glitch in the system?

I was using the UK e-visa.

Parent of half Thai child visa questions;

1) Does the 400k Thb have to be seasoned.?

2) Does the proof of funds need to come from overseas bank or can I put cash in Thai Bank.?

Thanks guys
