when the system goes live on the 28th you will be able to select thailand as country of residence and that will default to the +66 country code of thailand

SOME consulates make the primary visa holder (which is YOU) get their visa (the Non-B) first and after that you apply for the "trailing spouse" Non-O using your visa and documentation as proof of why the trailing spouse qualifies for the Non-O visa.

You can try applying for both at the same time, upload the marriage certificate, the documentation from your company you used to apply for the Non-B, make sure you have a letter from the company saying it's okay for your spouse to get a Non-O visa off your Non-B <- a company is NOT obligated to provide this and some companies give no trailing spouse/family visa support documentation at all

They'll either approve it OR message you that you have to upload your approved visa, OR they'll reject his application <- those are about the only ways it could go

You are correct for your spouse Non-O you want to select the choice

@Zam *******

is the visa number even a mandatory field?

I ask because IF someone is comin' in free stamp "visa exempt" they have no visa number to put in that field 😕

To me the visa number is the number of the stamp that lets you STAY in thailand and all a re-entry permit does is let you IN when you'll get stamped until the visa (actually extension) expires

If you're here on a 60 day free stamp as long as you show a TM30 that is IN the area served by that office you're good.

So in Nonthaburi you'd show you're at an address IN that province

Like people said, go to Nonthaburi, check into a hotel get the TM30 and then go apply for the 30 day extension at that office.

yep you could leave the country, get a Non-O from a thai consulate come back in and then go for the year extension for 1900baht

OR

leave the country, come back in free stamp entry (60 day visa exempt), apply for the in country 90 day Non-O at the immigration office for 2000baht, wait the 2 weeks it goes under review, go back get it inked in, wait 2 months and apply for the year extension for 1900baht

For ANYONE on an extension of stay

This is the VISA Number they want on the TDAC

You have to be on a yearly extension already and you need to meet the seasoning requirements for the extension you're currently on

Which means IF you used banked money method for the extension you're on now, you needed to keep 800K baht in the bank for 3 months after your extension was granted last year, and then the balance couldn't go below 400K the rest of the year)

AND

in addition to that you have to transfer in a minimum of 65K baht a month from abroad into a thai bank account in your name only, each month, every month for the previous 12 months before you apply for your next extension.

As you see you have to meet both seasoning requirements, the banked money method for the extension you're on AND the monthly income method for the extension you will be applying for

The immigration office will check (because you need a year print out of the detail transaction report) that you meet the seasoning for the extension you're on using banked money AND that you transferred in the 65K baht a month for the previous 12 months

You also need to make sure that all the transactions "code" in your bank book as international (OR you need to go to your bank and get a "credit advice" showing that the funds did originally come from abroad)

and on that note we're done. Thank you one and all

There are OVER 80 immigration offices in the country, you need to slog on out to your office and get the requirements that office wants.

DO NOT trust documentation requirements from other offices for your extension at your office

@Daniel ******

totally the real requirements, that proposed rule to drop the insurance coverage down did not become law
