or you apply in a consulate in home nation where you can use banked money there for the visa. Then you could open account and transfer the funds for your first extension or do monthly deposits.

If you don't leave the nation, just travel internally for business, medical etc, I was told no need to do another TM 30 unless you leave. IE go meeting see Dr, a few days return home, fine. It's staying at a different private residence or exit nation and return you need to do tm30

many simply tell you vs kill trees. I know mine tells everyone

True. However it caused immigration to be far nicer and asking for all sorts of stuff. Previously until some caused many problems it was a piece of cake with income letter, which was ended due to a few bad guys. So then the officials were under heavy scrutiny all the way up. 1st time, funds there in bank as required, but each x3 had to check every detail, map, etc, finally a supervisor checked, then to head there. Having our marriage document there, although nor required eased concern of their doing or missing something. A few in our community caused all this to happen which is sad. A lot is at officer discretion, or was.

@Tod ********

but we have original document. I do retirement as easier for immigration. Yea a couple new things with money in bank last few years, caused by those lying on an offical income statement.

@Dave ********

its a legal document. The actual marriage was you want marry him yes sign big book. You want marry her yes sign beside in big book. That is for the legal issued document costing 20B. They still have the book

@Tod ********

ours is very old, but is legally recorded at Amphur, and we have original and translation. Big Red official stamp. It was also 20B each in 74

@Bobby *******

it easily saves funds in monthly transfer fees is a great reason.

@Tod ********

so open a separate..reduce problems later

Why would you want it in a joint account? Why not 2 accounts, 1 800 separate for immigration, another joint to spend from
