@Jussi *******

you can't show because it doesn't exist. There is no such rule. It's a BANK policy made by the banks. Not a rule they have to follow. It's their decision

You don't understand how the visa works.

The visa itself is valid for 90 days. That means you must enter Thailand within 90 days before the visa expires.

Once you enter Thailand, the visa then determines how many days permission to stay in Thailand you will receive. A Non-O visa grants 90 days permission to stay, so you will receive a 90 day entry stamp. Even if you enter Thailand on the last day your visa is valid, you will receive a 90 day entry stamp.

No. He's saying he doesn't want to do anything at the bank that has them check his passport so his account isn't closed. The account has not been frozen.

@Jussi *******

You are talking about a rule that DOES NOT EXIST. Show me the rule from the BoT that says tourists cannot have bank accounts. There is no rule. The banks have made that decision to protect themselves.

@David ********

They would not have accepted your application if it would be rejected. So it will be approved, it's just a matter of waiting until the date on the stamp and returning to get the full extension.

@David ********

It doesn't matter if it's completed in time. When you apply for a marriage extension you get an "under consideration stamp" which is a temporary permission to stay in Thailand until your extension is processed. Normally it's about 1 month for marriage extension.

You can apply for a marriage extension until the last day of your existing permission stamp. Then your consideration period allows you to stay until they complete processing your extension application.

@Jussi *******

Really? Show me the law or regulation that states that. There isn't one.

Must be 2 full calendar months. So you can apply on the 14th of October.

But why does your expiration date that's a month away matter?

@Ryan-Kristopher *******

A multiple re-entry would not help you. The visa only gives you 3 months when you enter Thailand. Getting multiple re-entry will not change that your permission to stay in Thailand only lasts for 3 months. You need to get a 1-year extension and the re-entry permit on that if you want it for long term.

@Ryan-Kristopher *******

no. Every Thai embassy and consulate now uses the e-visa system. It's the same everywhere.
