Is there a chance 20,000 is needed to be shown if entering Thailand with this visa?

Is financial proof needed to get the visa?

It appears the were asking for a lot more than fine for your overstay would of been at 500 baht a day.
Normally the fine is reduced by the judge. Even those that have reached the max fine of 20k baht have their fines reduce to as little as 3000 baht.
All you can do now is wait and see what your lawyer finds out.

Why don't Thai immigration insist that at least 65,000 be deposited in a Thai bank every month? The evidence of that is the bank passbook. If you miss a month ........ no extension. Why should it matter to them how much you earn?  Isn't it about bringing the dollars into a Thai bank.
If it's the combination method , then the amounts can easily be worked out.
Proof of foreign exchange coming in should be all that matters to the Thai authorities.
 

The only proof of income accepted by immigration is a statutory declaration done at the Canadian embassy. They want back up proof when you do the declaration. Not sure what the want for the proof.
If you were legally working here with a work permit immigration would accept tax payments receipts as proof of the income.

Can my Thai wife 'hire' me and transfer me 45,000 a month into my Thai bank account and use that paper trail as proof of income?

Or is it better for me to have a Canadian friend 'hire' me and transfer the funds into my Canadian account?

Or are some sort of tax documents required other than just bank statements and invoices?

The hotel or the house-master of the residence where you are staying has to notify your arrival to immigration within 24 hours of your arrival.

I am on visa exempt entry. Do i need a TM30 at jomtien?

Thanks

I just got married and have the Thai marriage certificate. I just got a 60 day extension of stay due to marriage, having a tourist visa.

I cannot meet the financial requirements, so it looks like savanakhet is the best bet for me as I have no problem leaving the country every 90 days.

Is there a significant risk savanakhet changes their rules for the multi entry marriage visa in the next 60 days and thus requires financial proof?

I suggest taking the original marriage certificate with you in case they want to see it.

I went on the 8th Feb to Vientiane with ThaiVisaService.   The consulate was packed with people.
 
All of us got Tourist visas without any problem at all (I'd say there were 40 people with our visa company, and at the border probably 300 people waiting for it to open)

Mixture of Japanese, Brits, Russians and other Eastern Europeans, an American and a Canadian guy.   All young people.


 
 

In addition to the above you might be asked for a TM.30 form. It's the notification of a foreigner (you) living at the address you're staying at.

I heard I can get a 60 day extension. I have a thai marriage certificate, what else must I bring to immigration to get the extension? Must the wife come?

Some offices will do them up to 2 weeks early. Not sure about Krabi though. I few days before the 3rd should be ok.

The embassy will ask for proof of your income.

You would have to do a affidavit (statutory declaration) stating your income at the embassy. The affirmation of permit to marry would not be accepted to prove your income.

I was writing about getting a one year extension of stay at immigration not  about getting a multiple entry non-o visa since that is what this topic is primarily about.
Not all embassies and consulates will issue a multiple entry non-o visa even with financial proof. Penang would accept a income affidavit to get a non-o visa.

A income affidavit proving more than 40k baht will be accepted. No need for bank statements. If the income affidavit is in English it does not need to be translated.
Immigration will accept a income affidavit that is up to 6 months old.

There is no immigration office in Fang. You can only use the office in Chiang Mai.
A once a year visit to immigration in my opinion would be better than traveling to Savannakhet to get a new visa and then having to do border hops every 90 days for a new entry.
Not sure what the latest is about what time you need to be at immigration in Chiang Mai. Your wife or another person could do the wait in line for you while wait somewhere more comfortable until they start handing  out numbers.

I have no license in any jurisdiction and want a Thai car/moto license.

I am on a SETV but recently got married to a Thai and have the marriage certificate from the Amphur.

What is the correct procedure for me? I am in Ratchaburi.

Thanks

When does the visa on arrival booth in savanakhett close?

Would a nok air flight/bus combo arriving at 5pm leave sufficient time?

The fee for a single is 2000 baht and a multiple 5000 baht.
A multiple entry visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue.
Any type entry can be extended for 60 days to visit your wife with no financial proof.

You will be applying for a  non-o visa based upon marriage. Single or multiple entry.
You will need a signed copy of her house book registry as well as the ID card.
No financial proof will be needed. I have never seen a report of Mukdahan wanting to see the 20k baht when you enter there.

I am currently on a tourist visa and plan to go to savanakhet to get a marriage visa.

I am bringing original and copy of marriage certificate. Wife's signed photocopy of ID.

What else is needed? No financial proof is required? Does immugration at the border ever want to see 20,000 cash this this kind of visa?

Some offices will do the 60 day extension after the 30 day extension but others will not.
