Pay them a visit I have just completed mine in Pachubkhirirkhan (Hua Hin) and it was in many ways different from last year, The basics were the same but so many other pieces of paper required, an additional from previous times. Seems the only way you will find out is ask them personally with your wife
Mike ******
YES, But!!! I wonder sometimes, whether it is worth it with the mountains of paper work you have to produce for Immigration for this type of Visa.
Mike ******
Yes Hua Hin (Prachubkhirikhan) done same for past 4 years, however the approval comes from Bangkok, as I have to supply all information in duplicate the second copy being sent to Bangkok for first approval

I just supply Immigration with the monthly 40,000 deposit receipts for the year. These are supplied to me by my Thai Bank in single A4 sheets

@Graham *****
That sounds about correct, and I understand!! However I still feel that there is far too much paperwork involved, much of which is unnecessary, especially when diving into your personal finances. I ask, why do they need a years bank statement when they already have the bank book stating the same information???

@Tod ********
The hand out is useful, but only a small part of all you need. The process is so long and requires so much paper work, and every thing in duplicate, one local copy, one to Bangkok for approval. I have extended a number of times now and I complete the process feeling completely exhausted, there must surely be a more less complicated system for this type of extension.!!!!

You will need to be very patient. Its a long process with mountains of paperwork, not just as quoted in the handout, but many more supplied by the immigration officer you see, plus monetary information supplied by your bank. I have just completed my 5th married to Thai visa. Finished up with A4 paperwork measuring nearly half inch in depth, probably in the region of 50 x A4 sheets, additionally everything has to be duplicated so one copy of the application can be sent to Bangkok, whilst the second copy remains at your local office. Good luck you will need it plus lots of patients!!!!

I have married to Thai visa, my monthly income 40,000 (married to Thai) comes from Uk directly into my Thai bank, and they supply me with confirmation each month with a print out. Just a note, this system is long and complicated, much paperwork, and you have to supply 2 copies of everything.

I found it easier by getting my retirement visa in UK before I arrived here, but that was 22 years ago when the Thai Immigration was in London.
