why are you negative about it. By immigration regulation I mean they both should cooperate to make everything clear since starting and what things foreigner must do when they arrived here. I am Thai living abroad and immigration also requested proof of relationship at least 20 pages even though I have marriage certificate. But that means once they approved I am in their country for genuine purpose which make everything easy for me when I came to their country. Not that I have to fight for life after getting visa and go back and forth to immigration for a doc any authority request. Immigration should make clear path line the country I am living in as a foreigner. That's why visa agency in Thailand get richer day by day because of unclear regulation which make everything hard for foreigner.

@Nav *******

I understand your frustrations. Thai banks really need to work on clear rule to open bank account together with immigration (to prove genuine purpose of stay)

@Nav *******

Not necessary link with bankers. It's tougher because of new regulation from Bank of Thailand. Many Thais suddenly got their bank account suspended and must provide proof of many thing to unlock their bank account even though they are not mule account.

And for relationship, When you do visa non O extension you also have to prove your relationship to immigration. They also visit your home.

It's typical inspection to prevent fraud account. Many Thais are used as scammed marriage for a benefit but not a genuine relationship.

I have read many Thai with good profile, good travel history get denied. Also many no travel history got approved. People say it's determined by DS-160 you have filled and luck.

Did they give reason why would they not accept extension application base on following partner?

Yes you are right. She will reside with you. In Thai govt logic, you are always resident of Thailand even though you never stayed here. Permanent address is written on your Thai ID

Thai woman here

- Non O is best option

- Use good account firm for company set up and not lawyer.

- If you have had successful business experience. I know how you can handle most things.

- Most Thai girl know how to do business but most Thai girl also do not know how to do systematic business so you gotta be a boss and let not her be bossy.

I have heard from Thai who apply for US visa. Even though they have so good profile and good history of traveling but got denied. People have been saying depends on your luck and how you write DS 160

No problem. You can travel within valid date and got 90 days stamp at arrival immigration
