you can't apply for a Non-O inside Thailand if you do not yet have a Thai bank account with 800,000 THB already sitting in it . . nowwhere did the OP mention they already have a Thai bank account . .for an application to the Non-O VISA outisde of Thailand, you can use funds in ANY bank account anywhere in the World as long as you prove it is in your sole name . .this is the part where you were wrong, or better, where you didn't explain it correctly

@Les **********

the threadstarter obviously is U.S. American citizen, their embassy in Bangkok does not issue an income affidavit any more. They BOTH must show a minimum of 800,000 THB in each's bank account at least in the first year (for the visa, it can be money in a US bank account, for the application to the 1-year extension, the money must have been sitting in a Thai bank account for 2 months)

@Kim *******

Most Thai embassies worldwide have discontinued handing out Non-O Dependent Visas. No more new applications possible.

You BOTH need to be over 50 years old, and you both need to apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, each on his/her own, fulfilling the requirements of the e-visa system of the Thai embassy or consulate in your country.

You and your partner BOTH need a minimum of 800,000 THB in each one's Thai bank account in your sole names, seasoned for 2 months on the day you apply for the 1-year extension . .

Once you have set up your Thai bank accounts, you can start to transfer every month a minimum of 65,000 THB, proven it comes from abroad, into your accounts, for 12 consecutive months, not missing one single month.

You can then use a 12-months bank statement for the 1-year extension application in the second year. Once it got issued, you can both pull the 800,000 THB out of your Thai bank accounts

@David ******

you are being "grandfathered" so you can still get one-year extensions on being a dependent of somebody who has a retirement extension. . . . .

you are partially wrong - check the red line! For an application in the E-Visa online system to the Non-O visa in England, they can use their original UK marriage documents. Only for the application to the 1-year extension of the stay permit on Immigration inside Thailand, they need a freshly printed Kor Ror 22 from an Amphur

@Supreedee ****************************

you mentioned you got married by muslim ceremony. Muslim or buddhist ceremonies are NOT considered a legal marriage. Only marriages that got registered on an Amphur in Thailand are legally acknowledged marriages

you can get the 90-days Non-Imm-O marriage Visa in the UK with your UK marriage documents, but in order to apply in Thailand on Immigration for the 1-year extension of the stay permit, you need your marriage registered inside Thailand because Immigration wants to see a Kor Ror 22 marriage registry printout from the Amphur. You need to get your marriage legalized on the Royal Thai Embassy London, and co-legalized in Thailand

@Steve ********

then you don't have any "visa". You have a 12-months extended stay permit. The visa you started with, already became invalid the moment you entered Thailand on it. And it doesn't matter - every Non-Thai needs to fill out the online TDAC before every entry into Thailand

@Maitin ******

if you wish to apply for the 1-year extension, first rule is, the money must have been sitting in your Thai bank account for TWO MONTHS and the bank must issue a letter for the Immigration, in which they confirm this. You cannot just apply for the extension before this "deposit seasoning" period has passed

you are right . . . i shall change the text
