Good news ! We have about 10klms of road where the heavy sugar cane trucks go over it on their way to the mill, 24/7 for about six months. In the off season it develops crater size pot holes - every year, because no-one wants to fix it properly. Like many others I drive most of it on the wrong side of the road. Surprise surprise, there are many accidents, fortunately not me - yet. So this is great news, but I guess the money won't trickle down to our stretch

Sounds like you live near me then lol exactly the same. Sugar factory nearby. Country Roads full of potholes. Had muddy terrain tyres fitted on my pickup for this reason

Ok cheers joe many thanks!

I am in the process of getting an affidavit proving my income from my country which will be stamped by a local notary. If then the consul stamps this will this be enough for immigration along with the statement?

Thanks

Hi joe thanks. Yes i translated and certified the marriage certificate and am waiting for it, should arrive tomorrow or next day.

when I asked the consul for a letter stating that my income is sufficient this is what he replied

My email

Dear sir,

I received my marriage certificate and statement all stamped for which I thank you. However I have checked with Thai Immigration Office and I need a letter from my consulate (on consulate letterhead paper) stating that my income is equivalent and more than 40000 baht every month. This letter has to be signed and stamped.

His response

I have already certify your yearly income from a rental property in Malta. There is no another further to verify your income as your required. You can show to the Thai Immigration of as wishes. However if you wish to your verify is income again you have to ask MFA to verify you first and notify by Notary Bublic for your verify here again!

Regards & thanks,

The Consulate of Malta

I'm lost as what to do more.. He is Thai and his English as you can see isn't that good. This is why I emailed him as over the phone a conversation is impossible.

Hi ubonjoe just a quick question,

My consulate has returned bank statement and marriage certificate all stamped, verified and good to go but did not provide a letter as a proof of income. Will the certified statement be enough or shall I contact the consulate again for a letter.

If they go through the statement it's obvious from the deposits made monthly that the income is sufficient but I want to be sure I have everything correct before going to the immigration.

Many thanks for your help

Regards

Joseph

You did indeed. I am sorry but there's loads of conflicting info out there, I got confused. Apologies sir

Hi there guys, I have a few more questions and am grateful for anyone who inputs their thoughts.

Regarding proof of income, I have emailed a bank statement for the last year from my bank in my home country, certified by an attorney to the maltese consulate in Bangkok. I am waiting for their reply. Do you think it should be enough? The total amount deposited throughout the year was about 800000 baht.

Regarding my Maltese marriage certificate, I went to the local amphoe with an original document to see how to register it and the person working there told me that I don't have to certify it with my consulate, but I have to have it translated to Thai and certified by the thai foreign minister's office in bangkok. Also that I have to go in person for this stamp. Now my marriage certficate has two languages on it, Maltese and English. I read somewhere on a list of requirements that if it is in English, I Do not have to translate it to Thai but it must be certified by my consulate and tht would be enough to register. If someone has registered a foreign marriage certificate in their local amphoe I would appreciate their help because the lady t the amphoe didn't seem to know what she was talking about. I also would like to know what the form khoror22 is about and If I can download it from somewhere.

One last question. Before I said I lived in Chayiaphum area. Although the city is only 30 mins away,my wife informed me that our town kaeng sanam nang is part of Nakhon Ratchasima and not chayiaphum. So I would presume I would have to go to korat city and not khon kaen to apply for my extension.

I thank you all beforehand and will keep you updated of how it goes. Many thanks

I stand corrected. Apparently there's a honorary consulate in Bangkok. I ll check with them. Thanks!

Hi joe thanks for your swift reply. Malta doesnt have neither an embassy nor a consulate in Thailand. I know this because when I applied for a holiday visa for my wife I had to go through the Austrian embassy in order to obtain a schengen visa. Where should I get my marriage certificate certified. Would the Thai consulate in Malta be any help?

Cheers

Hi all, I've been browsing the forum quite a while but I just joined so hola to all

I am married to a Thai national (marriage in Malta my home country) and I had no trouble obtaining a non o multiple entry there before I came to Thailand April 2013. I did my run every 90 days and now have my last 3 months before my visa expires. From what I have gathered from the info on here is that now I have two options. Either going out to a neighboring country and obtaining another non immigrant o visa (for which I will have to do border runs every 90 days) Or applying for an extension of stay (1 year) for which I won't need to go out every 90 days.

My marriage document is in both english and maltese. Do i have to translate it to thai? Also i have to show 400000 baht in bank or proof of 40000 baht income every month. I rent out property inmy country so have my income from there every month. Would a Bank statement for the last year be enough to show? I also bought a motorbike and car (in my wife's name) and pay each month for both. Would these slips help? 400k in the bank is out of the question so maybe I'll have to opt for the non o visa.

I live near chayiaphum but I don't know if they have an immigration office or not. Is Korat the nearest city which I can go?

Sorry for the winded post and please feel free to correct me if I have any info wrong. Many thanks for all input!
