Advice for keeping enough in the bank in my case 400,000 baht . On a marrage ext does it have to be my name only and can it be in an interest account ?

Looks like WISE dropped the category for "Funds for long term stay in Thailand " or words to that effect. Just did a transfer and didn't have that as a reason. Everyone I have done so far this year had that as a reason. I believe though that isn't really necessary for a renewal on a marriage extension of stay.

How many days should I have left on my non o marriage extension before being denied access to the country? Thank you.

Greetings all.

Can someone help with information on the steps of converting from a Marriage Extension (400,000B in the bank method) to a Retirement Extension (monthly income method). I have been trying to research this but have not had success.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am on my first year extension of stay based on marriage which is due for renewal on 2nd April.

Due to some personal reasons I am contemplating to cancel my marriage extension and go to Savannakhet for a new non-immigrant category O visa based on Thai child.

My question is that do I need to cancel my existing extension by going to immigration or just leaving Thailand without re-entry permit will do it? If I choose the latter route would I have any issues in getting another non-O based on child, in Savannakhet?

Thanks,

Hey all on Non O Retirement but got married btwn Visa's and want to switch to Married Visa next round. Seems every site has conflicting advise. Anyone done it recently and steps to take. Cheers Kirky

Got a colleague with a Pakistan passport who is looking to get a non-o visa or extension if possible. His situation:

-> Is married to Thai wife (in Thailand,

-> entered on tourist visa or visa on arrival. Got a non-O 90 day in Bangkok earlier this year in June with an agent. Extended this non-o stamp for 60 days himself, which expires Nov 17th.

He would like to get non-o (single OR multiple) at neighbor consulate (Savannakhet, Laos??) OR possibly try for 1 year extension based on marriage.

Realistically, what are his chances? And what docs does he need?

Hi Tod , married to a Thai, arriving back in Thailand early Jan , on a 12 month multi entry " O " spouse visa ..

The month before ,December I intend to start the 12 x monthly bank deposits of 40k , so in January of 2025 I will be able to apply for the married to a Thai type O 12 month retirement extension..

I assume and hope what I have explained is correct , but with my monthly deposits , can the 40k be just a minimum amount , and can the deposit be a day or so earlier or later ....thanks Tod ...

If you don't have 400k baht in the bank two months before you require a 12 month marriage extension, can you extend for 60 via a family extension before applying for your 12 month extension to give the 400k time to season, or is that 60 day family extension the final extension permitted meaning you'll need to apply for a new 90 day non o?

Also, is there any minimum balance required throughout the year on a marriage visa extension like there is for a retirement visa extension?

Hi guys, long way off but just looking for advice.

My marriage extension runs out on 10 October. We would like to go Australia, probably for all of October, so I'm wondering if you think that's possible?. I'm led to believe you can only apply 30 days before expiry and then obviously have the month of under consideration. Thoughts?

Thanks
