Hi - I am on my first year extension of stay after having a type O retirement visa. I maintained the 800k balance for 2 months prior to and 3 months after the extension was granted. And after that it can drop no lower than 400k and I have kept it well above that.

My question:

Prior to applying for the next (second) year extension, I understand the balance needs to be 800K again -

for at least 2 months prior to application for renewal?

Or is it 3 months?

Reading the sheet from the immigration office looks like 2 months, while I see 3 months stated on other web sites. There is one site that says "keep in mind the next extension requires 3 months prior, unlike the first one", while the immigration office printout only describes '2 months prior and 3 months after'

Technical question that someone may be able to help me with. I have a 90 day O visa. How many days before it expires must I apply to the local Immigration for an extension based upon marriage?

Long Post Alert!

I have been for the 3rd time to Jomtien Immigration and came out again empty handed and annoyed!

I am looking to get a year extension for my O visa based on being a parent of a Thai child.

Each visit I have taken with me 2 copies of

TM7 with correct Photos

Copy of my partners ID card

Copy of House book where my daughter is registered

Copy of Daughters Birth Certificate

Copy of my passport

Copy of In stamp and TM6

Copy of Visa

Copy of passport page with Re-entry permit

Copy of court papers where I was legally Identified as parent from the Family court.

Copy of TM30

Lease agreement

Copy of updated bankbook with seasoned money above 800,00 Baht

The last 2 times I went always the same immigration officer has refused to accept the paperwork, saying the date must be done within 1 month of the end date on the Re entry permit.

Today on the 3rd time of seeing us she issued a new paper saying I have to supply the following

My daughter to go to Immigration in person on next submission!!

Copy of Landlords passport

Copy of apartment Chanote

Company setup document

Company of Shareholders document

6 Photos of me and my family, 2 including our front door number (Not Selfies!!)

2 x Hand drawn map to our apartment, not to be copies or scanned!

1 letter from my daughters school to prove she goes to school

Is this happening to anyone else out there or I am just the only privileged guy this is happening to??

If they are asking for hand drawn maps should I be expecting Immigration to come round?? If they have to, so be it but this process is wearing me down!

So is this happening everywhere????

so im off to extend my O visa for 60 days on dependency at changwattana tomorrow, is it the same proces as hua hin, or do i need anything extra as i recently moved back to bangkok
