.ok.. write a letter or email saying you invite your friend TO STAY AT YOUR ADRESS IN THAILAND. add your name and adress on it.. thats called proof of accomodation whilst in thailand. You're inviting them to stay with you whilst in thailand, not inviting them to thailand... Thai visa information n all categories is famous for poor translation.

If they are from the UK and want to stay 60days or less, they don't even need a visa. They are eligible for 30 days visa exempt which can be extended another 30 days . They may be asked for accommodation on arrival, if so, they give your name and adress.

@Megan *******

. You put the name of first hotel you are staying at or if staying with friend or family, you put their adress... nothing at all about an invitation..

@Graham *****

read my post again slowly. What part of my extension, my passport and my bankbook confuses you buddy? If it was an extension for my spouse, SHE would be at immigration dealing with officer giving HER passport etc.

@Graham *****

. What???

@Colin ********

. You only do 90 day reports on a long term visa extension. If you leave thailand before its due on a constant basis you still need to do a tm30 when you re enter each time within 24 hrs, which is virtually what a 90 day report is anyway, notifying your residential adress.

2. Yes. If it doesn't work for some reason, do it in person before the 90+7 days or you'll get a 2000 b fine. Late online reports won't work. Only early or on time.

. (Re spouse ext) they don't give a shit where the money comes from, how old the account is. As long as it's 400k in the applicants personal thai account (or 800k in dual account with wife) and hasn't dropped below minimum for 2 months prior.

Before any woke people jump in with the wife word.. foreign wives of thai men don't need 400k. It's zero for them.

. Well I think you.need to explain that to the imm officers because the last 5 years they have made it very clear to.me that the balance must stay above 400k during con period. Today was different for some reason and the answer was still obscure when asked.. 2 months plus con period for the 400k MN balance has been stated clearly in this group and others countless times.. I asked every ext application every year in past to make sure and the answer was same . 400k until you collect extension. Check history if you don't believe it.Maybe the rule changed recently. As it did last year when at CW it went from 30 days to21 days con period without any official notice.

I'm questioning and listening to the IOs.. not you.. they make the decisions.

@Brandon ***********

. Ok.. how the hell would they know what my account balance was 10 months ago in they only ask for evidence of 2 months prior...??

And if they did in the past, they don't for next year because they didn't check the year. Your logic makes no sense this time around. If for some unlawful reason they kept tabs of bank account in their system.. they wouldn't need printouts and bank letters at all on yearly application..

@Brandon ***********

. Really?? This is my 6th yearly extension at CW and they wanted to see it last 5 times when collecting it.
