  1. That info graph was posted by Immigration. The new info graph was posted specifically by Bangkok Immigration and only appears on their specific website. The general Immigration website still states; Note ** Aliens can report their residence before 15 days or after 7 days from the due date. If the deadline is exceeded or the notification date is exceeded, aliens must report themselves in person to proceed with the fine comparison. **In the case of exceeding the residence notification deadline, foreigners who report themselves will be subject to a fine of 2,000 baht. Having just submitted a 90 day report earlier this month, my IO confirmed online it is still 14 day before up to the due date.
  2. As you're probably aware, you can withdraw and spend the full 400K once the extension is granted, then top up to 400K again 2 months before applying for the following year's extension. However, if you keep the 400K+ in the account throughout the year, then a Fixed term deposit account is more beneficial as they give a much higher interest rate than a Savings account. Regardless of the type of account, you only need a 3-month bank statement.
  3. You're extending your permission of stay (not the visa) using the 400K funds in the bank method, then you only require a 3-month bank statement and passbook updated for the previous 3 months. The 400K is only required to be in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the date of application. I use the same method. Funds in a Fixed term deposit account.
  4. I assume you're applying for a 1 year extension of stay, rather than a Non O visa at Immigration based on Thai spouse. It sounds as though you're using the income method of 40K monthly overseas transfers as well. Updated passbook and 12 month bank statement in that case. Bank statements are much easier to read to identify the monthly overseas 'credits' to your account. The Current Immigration orders also state a 'bank statement' is required.
  5. Unless otherwise specifically instructed, then if staying continuously for 90 days in Thailand, then a 90-day report must be filed.
  6. What could be easier than sitting in a chair in the comfort of your own home and applying online for the Non O visa, which you receive by return email, against entering VE, filing a TM30, then visiting your local Immigration office in person, with a handful of printed documents and completing a TM7 form, travel, expense, time when that can all be avoided. Of course if you can't meet the financial requirements for the Non O, then it's a different matter.
  7. Att @bigt3116 Financial requirements acceptable to Immigration for an in Country application for the Non O based on Thai spouse. Note 7.1 - Income method. Note 7.2 - Funds in the bank method.
  8. If I may answer your reply @bigt3116 My reply was to a member enquiring about using the income method. He isn't employed or working, so his only option would be to use the 40K monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank account, OR, an Embassy Income letter (subject to his nationality) for the 1-year extension. You mentioned income from within Thailand was an alternative method, which I acknowledged, adding it was by means of a tax receipt and payslips, however in this instance it wasn't applicable. Already acknowledged, you can use income from within Thailand for the 1 year extension of stay. However, for the in Country Non O application, you are totally incorrect regarding the income method. Only an Embassy Income letter is acceptable in this instance. Immigration do not accept either income from within Thailand, or 40K monthly overseas transfers.
  9. Whether you have to file 4 or only 3 times a year depends on your IO. My office always reset the 90 day report date from the time of approving an extension application. This means the 4th due report is within the last couple of weeks of my due extension renewal date. As I always apply for my extension at least 30 days in advance, they remove the 90 day notification slip and tell me to forget it. When my extension is approved (Thai spouse) they give me a new report date due 90 days after the extension date. Effectively, I only submit 3 x 90 day reports a year.
  10. I love to watch Ben Hart when I'm feeling down and need a good laugh.
  11. You have a 1-year extension of stay, which is a permit, not a visa + a ME re-entry permit. TM6 arrival cards were discontinued other than land border crossings. The ETA is only required if entering without a visa (visa exempt) and not yet applicable.
  12. I file my 90 day on the last possible day, otherwise I'm reporting less than every 90 days. If rejected, which the last 4 out of 6 have been, then it's only a 10-minute drive to file in person. Obviously a PITA if you're an hour's drive away. I apply for my annual extension 30–45 days before the due date, as the new extension is dated from expiry of the previous extension.
  13. It's a nationwide automated system, but sends the applications to your individual Immigration office for approval. An IO at your office manually approves or rejects your application.
  14. You can use a personal income tax form and payslips from employment, but I'm nor personally aware of anyone that has used that method. Other Documents Required: Marriage certificate (Kor Ror 2). Kor Ror 2 is the registration document. You require an updated KR2 from the Amphoe each year, or if a foreign registered marriage a KR22. Marriage registration documents (Kor Ror 3). Kor Ror 3 is the marriage certificate Copies of your spouse's Thai ID card and household registration (Tabien Baan). That's assuming your wife owns the property, what if it's rented. The topic isn't about requirements for an extension. I only mentioned it in reply to a member who appears to be confused between a Non O (Thai Embassy, and the non-existent Marriage visa from Immigration.
  15. Copying and pasting from which site, obviously with no personal experience yourself, otherwise you'd spot the errors.
  16. That's CW and perhaps only applicable there. My IO still use this;
  17. Arrested for what exactly?
  18. That quote is for the Non Imm O visa based on Thai spouse obtained from the Thai Embassy, London. The financial requirements can be from either your UK or Thai bank accounts. It's an extension of your permission of stay based on Thai spouse. Visas cannot be extended. For a 1 year extension of stay using the income method, then this financial evidence has to be from a Thai bank account by way of 12 x 40K monthly overseas transfers, OR, by way of an Embassy Income letter.
  19. OP is staying less than 90 days, so a Non Imm O visa accommodates that length of stay, he won't have to visit an Immigration office. You are currently doing nothing, an Immigration officer is doing it on your behalf.
  20. Open this link https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/other-purposes-visa then click on 'Spouse and Family visa' for the requirements. (Top RH corner) All applications must be completed online via www.thaievisa.go.th It's improved and very straightforward these days.
  21. You should now affix that TM30 receipt in your passport, so it's available if requested again. 11 extensions, and the TM30 receipt, has always been required as part of the submitted documentation. Pretty standard these days.
  22. But omitting the fact he'd need to file a TM30 first, in order to apply for an extension, which entering on a Non Imm O visa and therefore not requiring to extend, a TM30 needn't be filed. Just additional information to your incomplete post.
  23. No, but you could have advised the OP of his 2 options in your first post, but you didn't! Yet you have a penchant to quote and criticise others that don't, rather than just post any additional information you feel relevant.
