I hear that there is a scam worldwide whereby : 1st fuel-supply from fuel-station hose to fuel-tank of vehicle automatically shuts off as soon as sensor at spout of fuel-supply hose senses that fuel-tank is full 2nd fuel-station attendant continues to press the fuel-supply hose's lever despite having heard, & felt, minor-jolt, which is part of original design in fuel-supply system to communicate that : 1_ fuel-tank of vehicle is full 2_ fuel-supply from fuel-station hose is now shut-off BUT --- BUT --- BUT But,- this fuel-station's fuel-supply system is rigged to let the meter continue to register extra fuel by way of "volume [ e.g. litre ]" & "price" despite no fuel entering fuel-tank of vehicle, as long as the fuel-supply hose's lever is pressed. Fuel-station attendant "knowingly" disguises this cheating by informing to u that they are merely pumping fuel into ur vehicle until they arrive at "helpful" sweet multiple of 10 number. NOTE ; X_ Possible that fuel-attendant is continuing to press the lever under the mistaken belief that they are continuting to pump fuel into the vehicle. Y_ Possible that : Y_1_ fuel-attendant is continuing to press the lever upon ur instructions to do so AND Y_2_ fuel-attendant thinks that fuel-hose is dispensing fuel to fuel-tank of vehicle.

Thank u, sometimewoodworker, for this very helpful information ; And,- it referring to very recent situation. I have been delayed in pursuing the overall matter since engaging in this thread discussion ; But,- this week it crossed my mind to resume this mission over the next few weeks. Hopefully I will have reason to post personal success soon.

Thank u DrJack54 for improving my forum-use knowledge. Yip, given the authoritative fact supplied by Ubonjoe,- I hereby request that any of the mods close this thread. And so some poster somewhere saying applicant can be successful in submitting "combo. of alien-spouse's monthly-income + Thai wife's monthly-income" as fulfilling the monthly-income requirement for extension of stay on basis of marriage was wrong. I very much like the editing of my original title. Nonetheless,- perhaps, for sake of www researchers on this thread's topic, & perhaps the Asean Now archives,- the mods might re-incorporate, with phrasing as they determine apt, into the title that this thread is essentially querying if "combo. of spouses'' incomes are permissible ? Regards, Our Man in the Tropics

Many thanks to above posters for answers with conviction that are convincing ; Ubonjoe's answer with relevant reference especially. I will relay the unfortunate fact to my friend. Here is guessing that this thread will be closed soon against further replies. Regards, Our Man in the Tropics

Dear Fellow Asean Now Posters, Does the Department of Immigration accept for R-E-N-E-W-A-L of Extension -- on basis of Marriage to Thai national -- on Non-Immigrant Visa_Type "O" the Monthly Income requirement being satisfied by ; "combined" Income of "Alien + their Thai Spouse" ? Alien spouse continues over a number of years to be employee with work-permit ; I gather that this spouse's monthly income from that job is less than required monthly income of THB 40,000. Thanking yee in advance for your earliest helpful replies. Regards, Our Man in the Tropics

Dear Fellow AseanNow.com Posters, Is it "permissible"* for Non-Immigrant from any of most high-ranking [ ref. freedom-to-enter most countries ] Europhile countries [ viz. E.U., & certain other European countries ( e.g.s U.K., Norway, Switzerland ) ], & U.S.A. & Canada, & Australia, & New Zealand, inter alia to work [ perhaps prior-approved "Voluntary" Work ] in Thailand if they have only ; Non-Immigrant Visa_Type "O" Entry with Extension of Stay given for Reason of "being-Parent-of-Thai-Child" ? * "permissible" as in they can get Work-Permit while on above Visa Type Entry [ "O" ] with Extension of Stay given for above Reason Thank u in advance for all ur most helpful replies.
