@Tod ********

ok thanks, sorry my electric cut out, think it may have posted things many times

@Tod ********

I can change and do this next extension based on marriage rather than dependents though without leaving? They kept telling me to get married as apparently that was much easier to process. Assuming I get the family extension first so i can season the money for 2 months

ok didn't know that, thanks

Thanks all, especially to

@Tod ********

. To sum up...

1. It seems KL is definitely not an option right now (unless that 6 months they state is 'statement validity within 6 months', which is unlikely).

2. Penang is maybe a possibility but I am unsure of the required financials.

3. SVK is a good albeit boring option for a multi entry (or single) non-o marriage based visa with no money in Thai bank required.

4. I also have the option to extend my current year extension for 60 days to allow money to 'season' for 3 months if I bring it over now and do a extension based on marriage

5. However, the 'seasoning' is not actually required for a dependent visa (but was for 2 months for me last year). And if no seasoning required then I could just give the extension a go as normal with the 400k brought over near the time.

At least I have some options :)

Thanks :)

Philip Perry what's the advantage of that? don't I need a job?

Last time they were very much on my case about money. I had to show 2 months and report for a meeting to prove I wasn't doing anything 'dodgy'

Yes I do have a similar stamp to that but my current extension was done on dependents as we only got married recently

Thanks again Tod Daniels. OK and that requires no money to be shown in Savannakhet? It would mean I have to leave the country every 90 days, which is no great issue to me as I have nothing to do anyway. I can send the money if required but I would rather not now that I missed it anyway with the pound being in the toilet. Just keen to know what all the options are.

Philip Perry thanks, it is all very confusing. I didn't know there was a ME for 1 year. So I assume that means I don't have to be over 50
