Jidapa Puk Meeboon he has to show at 3 months of 40k baht equivalent income. The 90 day is easier to get than the final 1 year.

He's going to need to go to a neighboring country and apply for a non-o at an embassy. Then when he is on a NonO, he can go to a bank and open a bank account to put the money in to season it.

We just did this and just finished our year extension immigration visit. In the next two weeks the year extension will be stamped in.

No one is going to give him a bank account on an exemption.

Difference also in whether you are eligible to get a work permit. Non-O retirement cannot work in Thailand. Non-O marriage can get a work permit and have a job in the Kingdom.

Penny Nave March 15 is my stamp, but as that is a Saturday I will be going on the 14th.

Penny Nave this was exactly how I handled it since I'm married to a Thai. Got my extra 60 days. Finished seasoning. Now under consideration and I get my full stamp early in March.

@Jimmy *******

except by definition Jr is you. Sr is your parent with whom you share your name, that's the difference between two different human beings.

I'm saddened to hear that you will have to pay again, but it's now a lesson learned about accuracy with Visa documents.

Legally when you change visa types you have to change the dependent attached Visa as well this is required since her visa is tied to a no longer valid DTV.

You will want to get your non-being and cancel her DTV dependent and get her a non-o-dependent tied to your non-b.

With an agent you can probably do it in country, without an agent you may very well need a border run.

The tm-86 change of Visa form is not always something that they want to do in country even though it is a valid immigration form.

There is a strong preference for doing what is familiar by most people working in the government offices and if they are not familiar with the change it is going to come across as strange to them.

My wife is a Visa agent so we have access to most rules for most provinces because honestly there's no way to keep track of all 73.

Moreover, they're about to move to a digital work permit system as well (change in progress arm), so I would imagine all visas; dependent or otherwise, will soon be tied to the online system.as it's clear they're moving that way.

@Cris *****

it's through my wife's agency. Which is mostly people instead of offices. The benefits of being married to an Agent b

We are now in phase 1 of ours. Initial. Doing the setup etc for the big one in 3 months. Congratulations.

We don't mind a home visit, but we are using an agent with the whole hand the passport over and then get it back 45 days later.

Only 44 days til that is the plan.

Initial no. Extension. Yes, I think.

Pay for the multi entry 1 year extension. The marriage initial visa is 90 days. Period.

Source. Married to a Thai and on a Non-O.

That said you can buy a re-entry pass when you plan to leave even if you did not get the multi entry on your extension even if they've removed the ability that used to allow the multi entry extension.
