The best is to call your local immigration office to get the direction about that.

Or visit them on 27th to seek advice if you want to take a safe side.

Some provincial offices give you under-consideration period, but they would call you for the actual date. In this case, you just need to wait for the new date, you will not be on overstay even if the u/c period passes.

But some offices give you fixed date and you have to show up on that date, otherwise you could lose your application in the worst case. In this case of the date falls on holidays, we usually advice members to check with them the day before that holiday.

Anyway, you have to check how your office handles u/c date.

If I leave country and re enter during the 1st 12 months with new insurance giving effectively up to 23 months

-> Roughly right. But if saying precisely, you need to enter Thailand again within the Non-OA visa itself validity with a new insurance policy to be stamped for another 365 days (or insurance validity, shorter one). That is not 12 months from the first entry stamp or within the validity of the entry stamp. If you manage well, you can get almost 2 years of stay from one Non-OA visa.

Q. can the 65,000 baht monthly international transfer be used, if I have that evidenced in Thai bank (UK citizen) or does 1st extension always need to be 800,000 seasoned funds method?

-> That is what you need to ask the local immigration office. Some accept monthly and international transfers for 12 months when you apply for the first 1-year extension from a Non-OA entry stamp - i.e. if you have been in Thailand on Non-OA. But some may not.

@Jim ******
, be sure your report is "approved", not "accepted". And status on the system is not "pending".

No downside to try to see it's approved or not. But many offices allow 90 days report "within 15 days and not less than 7 days before the due date of notification". Be ready for this. If your application is rejected, you have until 7 days later to report at the local immigration office.

, you can apply for Non-OA in the US with funds in your home country. If you want to apply for Non-O, you need to apply for 1-year extension in Thailand and it requires you to have funds in Thailand. Check requirements of them on the website of embassy/consulate that you aply for your visa through.

Yes, you can use your salary with a valid work permit as proof of funds, but, No, you cannot do it just using your work permit.

Go to your local immigration office to get their latest requirements for a 1-year extension based on marriage, especially for financial requirements for work permit holders.

Then you have to ask your employer to provide company papers including tax documents as well as your own tax documents.

If you or your employer cannot meet those requirements (or they don't agree to provide company-related documents), you have to use the banked money method.

, at most office allow you to apply for an in-country initial visa when you have 15 calendar days minimum remaining with your current stamp. Only a few offices requires 15 working days (21 calendar days usually) or more.

You don't have to do at the "original" office that issued your previous extension. But you have to apply for your extension at the office that serves your primary address of residence.
