What should I do if my retirement visa is expiring and my bank account has dropped below 400,000 baht for a marriage visa application?

Being Dutch, you could get the embassy letter and avoid the money in the bank issue.

What are the easiest visa options for someone with a Non-O based on marriage in Thailand?

Ben ****

An extension based on retirement using the embassy income declaration is the easiest extension there is. Is your embassy still issuing the income declarations?

What does the latter part of point 3 about Thai retirement visa financial requirements mean?

@Tod ********

Please stop using the word "notary" for the embassy income declaration letter. The letter does not need to be notarized, nor has the consul notary powers. Consulates check ones income and issue a letter confirming it.

Do I need to file a TM30 again after extending my Ed visa in Thailand?

Ben ****

Didn't they charge the rule recently?

You only file a TM30 once for the place you normally stay. No need to file again every time you return there after a short stay elsewhere.

Do I need to translate my affidavit of income and is a police clearance required for a 1-year extension based on marriage in Thailand?

Ben ****

@Robert ******

haven't heard; read or experienced that. There is no rule stating that the money actually needs to be transferred to Thailand. But then TIT, some IO might think differently.

Can I apply for a one-year extension of my Non-O visa based on having a Thai child without the 2-month seasoning requirement?

Ben ****

The author is not from the UK, USA or AUS.

An income declaration from the embassy can solve the money in the bank + seasoning issue.

Why would you need a bank letter and bank book if you have the embassy income letter?
