@James *******
yes, a friend of mine is processing an ext based on being over 50. He told me they have asked for documents more online with a Thai wife visa, like photos outside the house, crazy, its these exception that make the process so unpredictable

there at Prachinburi when I did my extension. Local offices have thier on rules, people should be made aware of it.

The rule is 2 months before the submission, some offices ask for it addtinally to k

Be kept for the 30 day consideration period. Prachinburi for extension for a Thai wife asked me to keep 2 months before 3 months after. Its worth checking locally.

each office will vary, I do not know what all offices require. You need to check wit yours. My office Prachinburi is not keen on the "income" method.

Some offices require documentation from your pension provider, its best to check with your immigration office, also all payments should be recorded as international payments in your bank book

You need is GBP Bangkok bank in Thailand, if you pay into a THB account it will be automatically converted based on the banks daily exchange rate

If your child has a Thai birth certificate and your named on it. You could get an visa extension based on supporting them. There is one benefit that is you only need to have 400KTHB on the date of the application, rather than 2 months before for a Thai wife, even so your still need marriage certificate etc. Also check with where be living some immigration offices have their own requirements
