Ah right. Not mentioned in the post. As Tod says, your trailing spouse extension follows your husbands. So, follow his instructions and change the reason to retirement extensions for yourself. :)

Do you actually have a NON O visa? Or do you have a 1 year extension of stay that you got after your NON O visa?
Michael ********
@Jakob ********
That's not what he is saying. Some banks have started freezing bank accounts until people prove they have a long term visa. Mostly in Phuket though, I believe.

Get a NON O before you leave Oz. That is the easiest way to do it. Then use your funds, that you already have in your Thai bank, to get a year extension of stay. If not, do as Tod says. ;)

Why would you not be able to board to go to China. Not understanding the question.

Correct. Use the 60 day extension of stay for visiting family, Keep your money at 400k+ for 2 months, get the 1 year. Good luck.

@Graham *****
It would matter, as he would get the 60 day extension of stay (which does not require any money). This would give him added time to then keep his money above 400k for another 2 months, and then get his 1 year extension of stay inked in. ;)

You must be married to a Thai. As Craig said, if you haven't used a 60 day extension based on family, use that. Otherwise, if your office is not forgiving, you will have to leave Thailand and start over with a new NON O.
