depends on your immigration office.

@Richard *******

well, consider yourself to stand corrected. Maybe you can tell that to the immigration in Samut Prakan 🙏

@Richard *******

Richard Julius our immigration office in Samut Prakan does not accept the monthly FTT but wants to see the 400.000/ THB in a bank account at least two months before the extension.

Make sure your immigration office accepts this option!

@Cabbie *****

yes, generally they accept it but then again, it is Thailand.

@Colin *********

but can’t you use your yellow book/ pink card as proof of residence? We could in Samut Prakan.

Looks like a local unauthorized form. Be careful!

If you have a Non-O visa based on marriage you only need “seasoned” 400,000 THB . When you file for the extension the immigration office will give you about a four week extension counted from the day you show up at the immigration office. Within the first two weeks of that extension period you will receive a visit from immigration who will then send your file to the HQ in Chaeng Wattana and you will pick up your extension at your local immigration office. Important: any re-entry stamps that you have on your original non-O visa become invalid once you receive the “under consideration” stamp so if you want to travel within those four weeks out of the country you need to get a new re-entry permit.

Banks do not issue „retirement „ visas.

à friend of mine in Germany had the same issue. It seems that the bank increased its protection against fraudY
