@Ste ****

whoever told you that was wrong. Spouse extension you 100% can work on it.

Better to stay on non o spouse visa/ext. If you quit or lose your job, it won't cancel your visa. If you switch to nonB/ext and quit or lose job , it effectively cancels it. No job = no more b visa.

. They will accept 12 months statement anyway because it's at least 2 months. They'll ignore the other months because they don't matter. I gave them 12 months once and 6 months once and they handed me back the earlier pages saying don't need them. Officers there are famous for adjusting the rules depending on their mood. Officially 12 months is only needed if using 40k a month because it's how you prove 40k a month.

@Goi ************

. Wrong. Statement of 2 months is enough because balance before then is irrelevant for a spouse extension if using 400k. After your extension is approved and stamped in, your balance can be ZERO until 2 months prior to your next extension.

At changwattana in bkk it's 2 month statement(starting prior to application date), letter from Bank and updated bankbook. Has been for me the last 5 years. It's 12 months if you are using 40 k a month instead of 400 k lump sum.

. My overall thought is I'm more than happy to provide what's needed, however it would be nice if they told all of uswhat IS needed and what ISNT needed in advance and stuck to it like every other govt office in the civilized world does..

The officer who processed my yearly extension application told me clearly to return in 21 days with passport and updated bankbook to get stamp. Which I did. The lack of communication skills is their own.

@Prinze *****

. No. No photocopies were asked for either. This time and last 5 times photocopies weren't ask for of anything when collecting stamp.. Just passport and , until this time, updated bankbook.

Ironically , I've never had a home adress visitation either in all 6 years here..

@Prinze *****

. I guarantee you she understood me.. her answer proves that. Immigration officers that can't comprehend basic questions in English should probably find a colleague that does or find another dept to work in seeing the vast majority of the people they deal with are not fluent in thai.. also nothing stopping her from asking me to repeat the question.. It's her job to know and understand Thailands immigration laws and regulations, it's my responsibility to abide by them under her instructions. Why does that confuse you.?

@Paul ******

. The reason I handed it to her was because they asked for it every previous time in the last 5 years.. that why I questioned her about it.. only explanationi can come up with is they changed the rules recently and haven't bothered to publish it. Just like going from 30 days to 21 days consideration period last year. I asked them about that last year too and same response.. they didn't publish that either
