. I was on an OA without work prohibited stamp when I first started at my Uni 7 years ago. I did get WP & job but many IO’s don’t like it. I then changed to ‘B’ because it’s easier.
Just one small point. With a retirement extension, you can use a combination of bank money & income. This is not available on a ‘marriage’ ext, just one or the other.
I did it a decade ago so may have changed but best to ask at your local Amphur (Town Hall) as each is usually different. I do remember that the village head (poo Yai Baan) had to go with us and bring his blue book (as you have to do too). It’s wasn’t a ‘one time visit job’ but it might be easier now especially if the staff are used to dealing with the process.
A yellow book is nothing to do with the ownership of the house. It’s a form of identification for a foreigner stating where he/she lives. It is NOT a replacement for a Thai owners blue book.
