What do you need to do? You need to get 400,000 baht transferred into your Thai bank account. You already missed the requirement to have it in for 2 full months by the time you apply for the extension, which means you're going to have to apply for the 60 day "visiting Thai family" extension in order to have enough time for the 400,000 baht to sit for 2 months.

Many, if not most immigration offices will not accept monthly deposits for a marriage extension. They will only accept proof of your job in Thailand with a salary of 40,000 baht per month or greater.

You need to go to your immigration office and ask them if they accept monthly transfers. If they do, then you can try to set yourself up for NEXT YEAR. As the only proof of monthly transfers that immigration accepts (if they accept it at all in your case) is a 12 month bank statement showing every single month of the previous 12 months you received 40,000 baht or more as an overseas transfer. Miss a month by even a day and you're done.

Monthly transfers can NEVER be used for your first annual extension, and since you are currently on a 90-day non-O visa, this will be your first annual extension, so monthly transfers is not an option to you.

So go to your immigration office, find out if they accept monthly transfers for marriage extensions or only accept proof of payslip for a work permitted job in Thailand, and then plan from there. But you're not getting your extension without proof of bank balance this year.

I believe there's at least 1 Facebook group dedicated to just this visa, and likely more than 1.

What is your actual question? Because if someone replies "yes" then that answers your question and clearly isn't what you want to know. So ask your actual question.

@Vuthi ******

not really, if it's your first visa exempt entry in a while, it shouldn't be any issue

@Lester ********

I don't think it will help if they want to deny you entry. In fact it actually shows you're not just a tourist visiting for holiday.

@Hans-Joachim *******

That's not quite accurate and not worth it for a 6 month trip as would require a lot of paperwork and likely funds in a Thai bank.

That is a little more complicated than it sounds. That's because you would need to leave Thailand after the initial non-O entry was running out, and if you wanted another non-O you would need to apply from a nearby embassy or consulate.

I assume your passport qualifies for visa exempt, so a better plan is probably to apply for the non-O before you leave for Thailand. Then after 90 days do a border bounce and return visa exempt (no visa) and then you'll receive a 60 day stamp. Apply for the 30-day extension from immigration, which will give you a total of 180 days, same as 2 non-O visas but will not require the extra non-O visa application.

@Goldie *******

but at least for LTR they'll accept most any insurance policy that meets their requirements, unlike with the non-OA that only accepts policies from an approved list of Thai companies.

@Fabien ********

a non-O is not a tourist visa. It's a non-immigrant visa.

@Jyrki ********

not for the that embassy. But the UK embassy in Thailand doesn't certify income so there's no possibility of using any income for your first extension in Thailand.
