Concerning the 800k฿ for year extension, SHOULD you go for the individual non imm. O, you both have to have 800k฿ in individual bank accounts. So two separate. When having a joint account it must be double, so 1,6 million. But....if you have an income of more than 65k฿ a month each, you still can get an affidavit (income statement) from your embassy. Also a combination method is possible. So money bank account plus 'year income' together, must be over 800k฿ each. And take care the money must be in the account 2 months before your year extension request.
. Made it also myself sometimes when I still lived in the Netherlands. For that one time I use it over here, e.g. coffee or apple pie, the can is easy. But
, you always can do a border hop/bounce to Cambodia, Laos or so, and come back for a exempt entry of 30 days (From 1st october probably 45 days), and extend it again with 30 days. You can do this only 2 times by land border. Or go for a visa run, which is buy a visa again in a Thai Embassy or consulate in the mentioned countries. But a bit more stress these border hops/bounces/runs. Also depends how far you are from a border. Otherwise you have to fly in 🤷♂️
When you come with a 'visa for 90 days' (e.g. Non imm. O based on retirement or marriage), you don't need an onward ticket so one way is okay. It's many time a problem with the airliner as
. The Netherlands still have an affidavit at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok. In Dutch it's called: 'Visumondersteuningsbrief'. They give it in Euro (month amount) and with us in Korat it is valid for 6 months
Oops, I think it's wise to go to the police first ? And maybe go to your Embassy for some kind of emergency passport/paper. I hope you made some copies of your passport/visa/ extension. Always good to have some "talking papers" I guess Or do you have a new passport already ? Good luck !
, but COULD you get a affidavit with amount of Euro's which after exchange is over 65,000฿ minimum income, the 800k is not locked, which can be safe should 'sht happen'. In my Dutch Embassy, I just have to send 2 months copy of my income (for me, it's pension) and 2 months copy of my Dutch bank account where that amount is shown as a deposit, to get that. But, since you are (only 😉) 50 soon, guess that it's more difficult to prove that >65k฿ comes in on a regular basis. Then ofcourse the 800k฿, although a little bit more paperwork than the affidavit, it's the way to do it. And no, the 800k฿ does not have to come from abroad. This is only needed when you want a non imm. O VISA (no extension) in Thailand.. Good luck !
