ah ok. This post has now deviated slightly.. He has the funds - recently deposited into a Thai bank account < 1 month. He’s previously done the non o multi marriage visa. He’s not familiar with the extension as this was my first question when I realised he does now in fact have the funds to qualify for an extension. So.. he will still need to go out and will qualify @ Penang but the price is still unknown. It also begs the question on wether he should do a shorter visa then go for an extension?

@Bobby ***

that’s a very useful answer 👍

@Maria ************

he did and states that it wasn’t there.

@James *******

wondering if anyone has applied for this visa recently and can help.

@James *******

can’t see a price either, this is my friends enquiry

It seems it depends on the immigration office. I went from a non imm b visa to a an extension to stay based on marriage 12 months ago. This time around I got ALL my paperwork together including tax records, employment contracts, house documents photo’s etc AND showed the 400k in a bank. This time they refused noting that I’d gone from a non Imm b visa to an extension to stay based on marriage and that you ‘shouldn’t be able to do it’ however they did accept it when I used a lawyer..(expensive) they did advise me to go out and do a non O in the future IF I wanted to do my marriage extension application myself. So I’m trapped with using a lawyer and paying a ‘fee’ until I do this.

@Terry *********

was just thinking about your application, yes Samui accepts it, it depends on the immigration office. Go to the immigration office you used and ask them directly if they will accept the mixed method next time. Also see other threads here for advice on how the money is transferred, it has to show as an international transfer, do your homework there as well 👍

Thank you all, have a great Sunday 🙏🏻

Looks like she’s ok then? Says Non O. The stamp has non O RE
