David Broadfoot I would of loved to get the 1 year extension based on marriage, but I have absolutely no way to furnish 400,000 ฿ in an account or prove that I make 40,000฿ because I make less than half of that a month.

I live in the old capital.

Thank you James. The immigration office stamped for a year, but everything from my employer was scrutinized by the inspector. I was supposed to be stamped till July 2018, but they put a void stamp in there. It will be annoying having to go back to Bangkok, but it will be much better once everything is completed. Hopefully, I can obtain that 1 year extension based on supporting wife and already having a WP. Also, I might be able to get a tambon baan. The only hiccup, is that immigration just loves mounds of paperwork and wants to see seals from the US embassy and MFA in addition to all documents being translated in Thai.

Since living here for year, it has been one exhausting and expensive pain in the ass.

I agree it is a fucking pain in the ass. I am married to a Thai and have a baby on the way. Right now, I have a Non-Imm O visa but the extension is the tricky part. I am trying to get a 1 year extension based on working, but immigration is a pain in the ass and wants me to go all the way to Bangkok to notarize that my degree and transcripts are real. Thai law really involves too much paperwork, costing the foreigner a lot of money by having to go to there embassy to notarize crap for an expensive fee. For one notary, it cost $50. After that, they want you to get the documents translated from English to Thai and stamped with a red MFA stamp.

The gbp may be decreasing, but the usd is hovering around 33 ฿ to $1 usd

lol still better than the us dollar

Yeah it is very bad. I am married to a Thai and have a baby on the way. Her family is my family. My own blood related family has cut me off, and i am on my own. The visa policy is so cruel when you have a family. I dont even have 400k or 40k a month to show for an extension. It is very hard to have a lifw in this country, meanwhile the old Thai population is dying off. This country needs to be more opened up already.

Can I convert from a non o to a non b?

Do you need your birth certificate from your home country, or is this affidavit good enough?
