@Pom *******

Couldn't thank you enough for your completed explanation. What weird is that this couple have been submitting the US certificate alone since 2013. Only this year they decide to see the authentication.

@Bennett *******

thank you. Very useful advice. The embassy only sent a link to another office in the US. I will inform this person about your advice. Thanks.

@Bonnie ******

they use his financial funds alone for 2 people. It's possible if they are married and got required documents.😄

@John *******

good thinking! Thanks. It for another person, not myself. They are American and Japanese. They got married in the US. Her visa ext. stamps got handwritten in Thai as " following husband passport #..." and his as " with wife following passport#..." ever years. This year they start acting like turning down their US marriage certificate all of sudden.

If you had failed to check in 90 day at any point, and you left, when you reenter Thailand, guess what? .. you are all clear. Noted that when you reenter you should do the TM.30 report first, as your newest 90 check in will sometime requires the Tm.30 first

If you fail to check in 90day, the only problem is when you try to renew something they might spot it. Or if you are arrested, they would have a reason to fine you for late 90 check in

To change from 30 day visa to a non O visa in Bangkok, you must wire transfer bank to bank for 800,000 B from aboard. When you turn in all the required paperworks in Bangkok, one of the paper work is the Credit Advice aka reciept of internationally wired transfer. To get a non o, this fund doesn't need to be in Thailand for 2 months at all. Immediate transfer is accepted. But when you go for a 1 year retirement, yes that fund must be kept at least 2onths prior to application date.

If documents completed, make online booking time of your application in advance.
