Immigration state within 15 days of the due date, which is not the same as the often quoted before date. The easy way to remember is if your 90-day report was due on a Wednesday, then the first day you can submit online is the Wednesday two weeks beforehand.

It's 14 days before the due report date, until the due report date. If your 90 day was due on a Wednesday, then the first day you can submit online is the Wednesday two weeks beforehand. It's up to 6 days after the due date in person only.

It's not your bank that needs to verify income, it's the pension providers.

Well, firstly, you'd have to circumvent the US Privacy Act by giving written authorisation. https://www.justice.gov/opcl/overview-privacy-act-1974-2020-edition/disclosures-third-parties#:~:text=The general rule under the,written consent to the disclosure. The UK Embassy required documentary evidence of income before providing an Income letter for Immigration, same as the Norwegian Embassy is now requesting. However, they were not able to 'verify' those incomes with the relevant authorities due to Data Protection Laws, which is what Immigration requested. After the US, UK and Australian Embassies ceased the income letter service, Immigration issued a new order permitting proof of income via overseas transfers to a Thai bank account. However, within that order, they confirmed 'certified' Embassy Income letters would be accepted (not 'verified'). Had they stuck to their request for Embassies to 'verify' incomes, I daresay all Embassies would have ceased the service. Verifying incomes, although possible, would be time-consuming for all involved and was deemed unworkable. You can't just give any Tom, Dick or Harry from an Embassy authorisation and access to personal information, that isn't how it works.

You're including the funded portion of US pensions, I'm talking the basic government state pensions, which in the US is $1,000 - $1,200. https://www.forumdaily.com/en/kak-rabotaet-pensionnaya-sistema-v-ssha/#:~:text=“The state pension is on,utilities (electricity and heating). Finland has one of the best pensions in the world. The basic retirees state pension amount is 732 Euro per month. Even their higher earnings related pension of 1,512 Euro doesn't meet the 65K financial requirement for retirement extensions. https://www.etk.fi/en/finnish-pension-system/pension-security/national-pension/

Which is why Immigration requested Embassies 'verify' incomes. Whilst certain Embassies may be able to verify income from government state pensions, which alone would not meet the financial requirement for extensions based on retirement, the difference in additional income comes from private or company pension providers, which the Embassies cannot verify due to Data Protection policies.

Why did the UK, US and Aus.odt

No, you were just fortunate previously. Other IO's may have refused an extension based on Thai child earlier. You have no parental rights nor are you the legalised Father, but just keep moaning instead of doing something positive.

Well UJ (RIP) used to post a comprehensive document checklist that never received a complaint, and I've PM'd multiple members in the past with a 'comprehensive' list, and they were successful. Nobody is refused for submitting a document they may not request, and there is a limit to what can be requested. What's the point of a forum if you request members to PM you all the time for information.

Only for 12 month statements. (retirement) The requirement for extension based on marriage is 2 months, as you pointed out. Any Bangkok Bank branch can print, stamp and sign a statement up to 6 months on request.

OP, applying on 27th is fine.

Not very 'comprehensive' if the list doesn't cover every office. Comprehensive - complete; including all or nearly all elements or aspects of something.

Correct, the 60-day requirement in order 327/2557 (2014), was amended to 2 months in the updated order 548-2562 (2019). My apologies.

First extension application based on retirement is actually 60 days.

Wrong! Read my above post quoting the financial requirement from Immigration Order 327-2557. PS. You can't extend a visa, there is no 'Marriage' visa, and you extend your temporary permission of stay, which is a permit, not a visa.

Is it a secret document? Why not post your comprehensive guideline for the benefit of all members.

Section 2.18. Clause 6. (6) In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year. 327-2557 (2014) - Criteria for extension ENG.pdf

Not from Thai Immigration. I gave you links to the law and the 3 options available to legitimise yourself as the child's Father. The rest is up to you.

You'd need evidence of 12 x monthly overseas transfers of 65K THB to change to the income method for a 1-year extension, the same being required changing from Tourist to Non Imm (Non O) status using the monthly income method.

You'll have to extend your stay based on retirement, you cannot extend based on Thai child for reasons already explained, unless the Amphoe will allow you to register as the legal Father, or you obtain a Court order legalising you as the legal Father of the child. Simply being named on the birth certificate does not give you any parental rights and does not mean you are the legal Father of the child.

Most Amphoes require the child to be at least 7 years old.

He isn't married, the child was born out of wedlock, therefore under Thai law he isn't recognised as the legal Father, even if his name appears on the birth certificate. Immigration do not accept being named on the birth certificate as evidence of being the Father when not married to the Mother. When a child is born, it is clear who the mother is. Who the father is remains the question. If the mother is married, the law will assume that the husband is the father of the child. It doesn't matter who makes the registration. However, if the mother is not married, the law makes no such assumption and the father being named on the birth certificate is not enough. After all, anyone can be named on the birth certificate as the father, without that person knowing, let alone agreeing. In that case, the father has to legitimize the child, with which he acknowledges before the law that he is the father of the child. CM Immigration are correct to refuse his extension application based on Thai child. 3. Parental Rights in Thailand a) If the parents are not married In Thailand, only the mother will have parental rights under section 1546 of the TCCC unless the father does one of the 3 steps written in the following clause, 1547. We strongly suggest to a father that is not married to the mother to legitimate his rights as father by asking the court to do it. The court will normally accept unless the other party can prove that it is NOT in the best interest of the child. https://thailawonline.com/family-law-in-thailand/ TCCC = Thailands Civil and Commercial Codes. https://www.samuiforsale.com/law-texts/thailand-civil-code-part-3.html#1535 Section 1546. A child born of a woman who is not married to a man is deemed to be the legitimate child of such woman. Section 1547. A child born of the parents who are not married to each other is legitimate by the subsequent marriage of the parents, or by the registration made on application by the father, or by a judgment of the Court. Section 1548. When legitimation is applied for by the father, the child and the mother must give consent to the applicant. In case where the child and the mother do not appear before the Registrar for giving the consent, the Registrar shall notify the child and the mother of the father’s application for registration. If the child or the mother raises no objection or does not give the consent within sixty days after the acceptance of the notification by the child or mother, it is presumed that the child or the mother does not give consent. The period of time shall be extended to one hundred and eighty days in case where the child or the mother has been outside Thailand. In case where the child or the mother raises an objection that the applicant is not the father, or does not give the consent, or is unable to give the consent, the registration for legitimation must be effected by a judgment of the Court. After the Court had pronounced a judgment effecting the registration of the legitimation and the judgment has been produced to the registrar for registration, the Registrar shall effect the registration.

He isn't applying for an extension, he's already been granted a 30-day extension from entry on a Tourist Visa. Read the topic header. Converting from tourist visa extension to a Non Imm O retirement That was the question, and answered by @Dr Jack.

Possible, but he'd have to file a TM30 for an address in that Province. Then there is also the question of producing a rental agreement and receipt. The procedure and requirements are here: VE-TV to Non O Retirement.pdf

The OP enquired about obtaining the Non O. He entered on a Tourist visa, then extended his stay for a further 30 days. @DrJack54 is perfectly correct with his information.
