He didn't have to actually denounce his American citizenship. One can only assume that he has been indoctrinated much like most of the Thai's I know. Scary. ????

You are absolutely right, I don't know what he is smoking but must be some good one.

The word visit is the reason written in the police order. It really means nothing beyond that.

It does not matter if you are living with your wife a to whether you can apply for the extension or not,

Thank you very much for your help, greatly appreciated.

He will be applying for a 60 day extension to visit his Thai wife or child. It can be applied for any type of entry.

Next year, I plan to get a Non-O single entry from Savannakhet, my question is, if I am already living with my wife (I come to Thailand 5-6 months a year) why should I apply for a 60-day extension to visit my wife?  I am a little confused, could you please clarify for me.  Thanks a bunch, in advance.

Bought some cold drinks from Tesco. The cashier could see I can't carry all of them. She put them in a brown paper bag and it disintegrated before I got home. Worthless.

 

Bring back the plastic bags for those customers who request and need them. 

Not a freakin chance, live with it.

Only the fancy one with flowers and etc on it at most embassies and consulates.

At immigration they will want both and the Kor Ror 2 will need to be updated by getting a printout of it at an Amphoe.

Next year, I intend to get a non-o married Visa with a single entry.  I normally come to Thailand for between 5 and 6 month.  I get my 30 days on arrival and during that time I intend to go to Savannakhet to get a married Visa, single entry.  I think that I read in the past that you get a 3 month Visa with the possibility of  60 days extension at the Immigration.  Is that correct?  If so, what is the requierement moneywise?  Also does the Kor Ror have to be updated at the Amphur as I have been married to a Thai lady for 9 years.  Thanks a lot Ubonjoe for your always expert advice.

Stupid, provocative sign.  If you can speak Thai, does that make it OK to complain about the staff's English?  Why would any tourist need or want to speak Thai?  If the restaurant is trying to attract tourist customers, they should employ staff with a reasonable level of English.  

When you are in Rome you do like Romans do.

You're right, are 30 days counting the day of entry. For just 1 day i have the only chance to extend 1 month at 1900? No other cheap way?

Just pay the 500 bahts at the airport for one day overstay, they'll tell you at the airport anyway.  Less than 24 hr overstay you don't pay.  No worries.

I was replying to a post about getting a single entry non-o visa in Penang. At Savannakhet they do not ask for any financial proof.

You can apply for the 60 day extension at Jomtien immigration. No financial proof is required to get it.

Thank you very much for your time Ubonjoe, greatly appreciated.

Marriage certificate and a copy of it. Copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card signed by her.

Proof of 200k baht in a bank and/or proof of income.

Next year, I plan to get a Non-O Visa based on marriage in Savannakhet, I normally come to Thailand for 5-6 months. I only need a single entry Visa and from what I heard in the pas,t I can get a 90-day Visa with the possibility of a 60-day extension for 1,900 Bahts.  I assume that I get the extension at the Immigration, in my case, in Jomtien.  For the original application, you mentioned proof of 200K in the Bank.  How long does the money have to be in the Bank? Or is a photocopy of my monthly income good enough?  Do I need a certain amount of money in the Bank to get the extension?  Thanks a million Ubonjoe for your time and your valuable information.  Cheers.

You do not need proof of income or any other financial proof to apply for the multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage at Savannakhet.

Only the one year extension of stay applied for at immigration requires the 40k baht income. It has to be transferred into a Thai bank or if from a country whose embassy still provides proof income you can use that to apply for the extension,

 

At this time there's nothing that states insurance will be needed for extension of stay based upon retirement. It will only be needed to apply for a OA long stay visa at a embassy in your home country.

First of all, thank you very much for your quick reply. I was thinking of a single entry non-o visa as only stay between 5-6 months a year.  So in that case, do I still need to show the 40k income and if so, in which bank, Thai bank or in my own country.  Thanks in advance.

You have to leave the country every 90 days to get a new 90 day entry. You can though extend each entry for 60 days at immigration to visit your wife for a fee of 1900 baht.

If you don't want to leave the country you would have to apply for a one year extension of stay at immigration based upon marriage. You would need 400k baht in a Thai bank in you name only for 2 months or proof of 40k baht income.

Good day Ubonjoe, can you clarify a point for me?  If I apply for a marriage visa, does that 40k Baht monthly income has to come in a Thai Baht account or can it be deposited in the Bank in my own country and I have the proof when I apply for the visa?  If I have to deposit the 40Kin a Thai bank it won’t be possible for me and that means that I will have to apply for a tourist visa as I normally come to Thailand for only 5-6 months at the most, every year.  I used to have retirement visas but with the new rules and the compulsory health insurance it will be too costly for me as I will be 74 in December even though I am in good health. Thank you very much in advance.

You would need a letter from your Embassy as proof.

Why would that be? My pension statement comes from the Government of Canada.

You need 40k monthly income.

If neither you wont get.

First, thank you very much for the info.  If I can get by with a 40K monthly income that will be great.  All I would have to do is bring a copy of my monthly pension statement.  The reason why I was asking is because normally I get a retirement Visa and if they come out with compulsory health insurance, I will have to go with the marriage Visa as I don't want to pay tons of money for health insurance.  I am from Canada, in good health, 73 years old, soon to be 74 and I have enough money in the bank back home to cover medical bills if the need arises and I don't want to tie up my money in a Thai Bank.  I only go to Thailand for 5-6 months a year and I have an insurance that covers me for 40 days outside the country.  I checked one place in Pattaya last winter and they didn't insure over 65 years old.

I assume you are asking about an extension of stay based upon marriage.

1. It depends upon the office you apply at. Some do a home visit and others will ask you to bring witnesses to confirm you are living together as husband an wife.

What they do during the home visit depends upon the officers doing it.

2. It is advised to leave the 400k baht in the bank until you get your extension stamp at the end of the 30 day under consideration period you will get.

So to get an extension based upon marriage you need 400k in the bank?  What happens if you don't?
