You always had to show the funds for 90 days Single or Multi Entry Non-O, except in Savannakhet both didn't require it until last year went Multi required it but still not single. It's possible that now even Single will require it with new e-visa regulations.

If you already have a non-O, which you extended 12 months, you don't have to do a new one. You can either extend it with the financial requirement, or use an agent for yearly extension (which by pass the proof of funds).

Ongoing rate is 25-40k baht for the 12 months extension with agent. Shop around. If you are no longer on Non-O, but came from visa exempt entry or tourist visa, to transfer to Non-O first with agent will be 15-30k baht.

You need to be married to get the 60 days extension. The difference is only the duration. Both required a marriage certificate to be shown.

You said: "extension of stay based on marriage". In that sentence are the words "extension" and "marriage". You said it in a different word order, come on.

I always called both marriage extension for practicality (you need to be married to get the 60 days...). In theory, yes, one is more of a marriage extension then the other, but the 12 months extension isn't officially called a marriage extension either.

No, the 12 months is not a marriage extension. We know it as such, but the official term is not marriage extension. But in reality, yes, it's the same.

Neither the 12 months your son did is a marriage extension either. But yet, you are still using such terminology but the difference is that you think it was the right one. Most people are like you and think that the 12 months is a marriage extension visa, it's not. I use terms that are practical because most people are not aware of the real terminologiy.

@Nongnuch *******
Neither are marriage extension, but they are known as such in the popular jargon, that's my point. Because to get the 60 days extension, you need to be married or have a child, which is the same for the 12 months. You can't get the 60 days extension without a marriage certificate or proof that you are the dad. So both are basically marriage extension because without being married you won't qualified for the 60 days extension. You are right in terminology, ofc.

Yes, but it's not called a "marriage extension", but everyone call it as such. I use easy wording because Visiting Thai Family, etc, just end up confusing people.

Useless to call their office. I get conflicting info every time I have ever called immigration office. I'll have to drive 2h to see if possible unless someone did it recently know for sure that it's not possible. In KK Expats group someone did it in October. I got denied in December in Udon.
