so check with your thai embassy.

@Bim ******

on the other hand, as I understand, not all thai embassies sells those 90 day non o, but only the year long oa, which has extra requirements of insurance for example. And I guess that's why many chose to just come on a tourist visa or 30 day visa exemption, and then buying the 90 day non o inside Thailand. For that though, you WILL need to show the 800K came from abroad with international transfer showing up in your thai account.

@Bim ******

you can have the money in your account in your home country when applying for the initial non o visa there, before you go to Thailand. You can then, however you want/can, get those 800k to a thai account in your name while in Thailand if you wish to apply for a year extension. No need to prove where it came from then, but it does have to be in the account for minimum 2 full months before you can apply, and then 3 months after too, and not below 400k the rest of the year, if your intention is to keep applying for yearly extensions.

You can, if you buy a non o before coming here. If you come on tourist visa, or visa exempt, and want to buy the initial 90 day non o inside Thailand, you will have to prove an 800k international transfer to an account in your name only. Customs declaration and anything else wont work. Only an international transfer showing up in your bankbook/bank account. If you already have the non o when entering Thailand, you can just deposit the funds at a bank, in an account in your name only, and have them there for at least 2 months for seasoning before applying for the year extension.

What

@Benjamin *****

and

@Tod ********

said pretty much covers it. When it is expired, it is expired. No grace after that. On the other hand you do have 30 days before that (45 in some offices) to be the early bird.. Absolutely no reason to wait until last minute, as you won't lose any time by going early.

@Robert ******

maybe an ED extension? They can be 90 days..

@Sam *****

you can still see every single transaction and the ballance that each transaction left the account with, plus and minus. It doesn't just sum up every day.

@Tod ********

thank you. They are seemingly on a skeleton crew there atm due to COVID-19. It's a very small office. Only him and 3-4 student helpers. I am pretty sure he is the boss there. At least my wife told me so. I guess I will just make it work somehow. Will ask again when I go for the actual extension. Maybe he will be in a better mood by then 😂

Many smaller immigration offices don't actually process the marriage extension by themselves, but have to send it to a ditrict office. The date they put in your passport is the date you come back and get the remaining 11 months stamped in. Not before, not after.

@Ellie ******

why are you saying he cant stay past 22 january 2022? If he entered 4th April 2021, he should be stamped in until 3rd April 2022..
