Just to clarify. For your very first extension you will be given a permission of stay date. Some folk refer to this as birthday. For subsequent extensions you can apply up to 30/45 days early and your 12 months extension will have that same date for expiry. One point to note is that if anyone changes the reason extension is based on .... For example from marriage to retirement then the extension will have expiry till 12 months from application.

Not married.

She has my atm 🏧 + pin

Have never read of that requirement. The 12 month bank statement is valid for 7 days as is the bank Letter and an added statement to cover the few days should not be required. At CW I obtain the 12 month bank statement few days prior to application. On day of application update bank book and make small deposit to show activity.

Have had that explanation previously and frankly doesn't wash. Also I see every deposit and withdrawal. They are not consolidated. Think for those that use every day account the activity can be consolidated after certain number (think it's 30 transactions) Any deposits and withdrawals are shown (printed in bank book) when I eventually attend bank. The is no consolidation of activity. It's not possible for me to make a withdrawal and by magic it's not shown in my bank book. On top of that it was only 2 months with no activity and balance shown of 812k .. 812k It's a load of crock to claim I can somehow withdraw funds and replace without it being shown. BTW wasn't an issue all the years prior. No problem now I provide 12 month bank statement each year. Make no mistake they in general they want to make it as hard as possible. Off topic but in same way when in recent times for transfer of stamps to new pp, the head io made me go down to L1 for bank book update and photocopies of pages to show compliance when clearly it's seen in my bank book. BTW it was never a requirement and just added out of thin air.

No. If you wish to obtain the Non O in Thailand then you enter ie visa exempt and apply for the Non O with 400k in Thai bank. You do that with min 15 days remaining in your entry stamp. After obtaining the Non O you are given a 90 day stamp. In last 30 days apply for 12 month extension. Why not obtain Non O prior to entry. Are you in passport country? Do you have Thai bank account

For funds in the bank method the rules are very clear. 800k two months prior to application + three months after application and not below 400k in other months. In this thread some questions about changing from using agent to DIY. That requires detailed answer. Basically exit Thailand and "start over" Or cover the required funds in bank with own money for extension using agent. That requires 800k for 2 months prior to agent application and maintained during the extension. At that point you can DIY

The offices vary (sadly). By way of example. I use dedicated bank account for immigration and maintain 800k all year round. So CW always accepted photocopies of bank book pages etc. Then out of the blue wanted 12 month bank statement. Why?? They said there was two months of zero activity (deposit/withdrawal) Made me obtain 12 month statement downstairs. I don't like em.

You are referring to 800k held in Thai bank account for reason to obtain extensions. Keep the funds in your SCB account.

I'm well aware of that and also aware that immigration is very strict on financial compliance. You were fortunate. However note your dip was 2 hours. Mine 2 days. Which immigration office. CW not very flexible on this.

You have misunderstood the guy you quoted. That guy used an agent to obtain his extension to cover financial compliance. He will again require agent for next extension that's why the agent told him that keeping funds in bank will be irrelevant. In reality immigration checks back (not always) to bank records two months prior to last extension. Edit: the agents advice is correct. Read the posts carefully

Of course I'm aware of that. She made the withdrawal days after I obtained the extension taking balance to 798k. The error was fixed within two days

The lawyer may have been focused on need to open bank account. For those without a Thai bank account then obtaining Non O retirement outside of Thailand (eVisa) best option. For those with existing bank account then no issue entering visa exempt and obtaining Non O at local immigration office. With exception of couple of offices. Already pointed out by @OJAS above.

This option posted by Tod Daniels in another thread. Also this thread. I would be flying https://aseannow.com/topic/1364639-border-runs-to-cambodia-temporarily-suspended/page/3/#findComment-19915968

Surprise surprise. Your posts are off topic. Use an agent for extensions and deal with issues such as 90 report or do extensions yourself. Don't complain.

The desk is far right side when you enter queue issue desk area. You need the form filled in. If you wish just go down to L1 and say to photocopy shop "certificate of residence" and hand over passport. It costs 200b Will be posted out ems in about 5 business days. If you have a lease then include that.. TM30 also good idea however you will find they may require nothing..

As I posted earlier. Appointments available and recommended. Here is link for form https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=439173

I'm not a mind reader. It's not clear what agent is actually doing. In any event take it up with your agent. Not happy with 500b then do it yourself

To obtain a Non O marriage inside Thailand from visa, exempt or tourist visa entry you require 400k in Thai bank on day of application. That would give you a 90 day stamp. After funds have been in the bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. So to clarify: You are currently in Thailand? What do you have in pp. A visa exempt entry or....? How many days remaining on current permission of stay? Regards DTV that visa is obtained outside of Thailand. Nearby country or pp country. Not obtained in Thailand.

No Yes and already pointed out a few times. Lazy error No idea why I posted 60days instead of the correct 2 months.

OP, correct advice above . Where are you currently? Do you have a Thai bank account.

Cheap. I deal with CW. After trip abroad and needing to attend in person it will take me half a day. I would be happy to pay 500b to have it done. To each their own.

CW requiring a TM47 having been done to apply for a COR was true in the past. That requirement is no longer in place. Who told you and when... That CW requires 90 day report. Obtain your COR and apply for bank account. Suggest Kasikorn as one good option You can make appointment at CW here is link. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ I just checked and slots available every day.

In some instances must be done in person, ie after return from travel abroad. Also is your agent also obtaining annual extension. What address is being used. In any event use of agent is optional.

Yes that is an option. However as usual couple of exceptions. For example Jomtien were requiring the 800k to be in bank for 2 months to apply for the Non Of. In fact that is not the rule Only has to be in bank day prior prior to application. Not sure of that office current policy In addition an immigration can say "we don't issue Non O for visa exempt entry. Vaguely recall Samui having issues. Regards funds from abroad requirement that should be overlooked if funds in Thai bank for some time. Anyone obtaining the Non O at immigration office in Thailand should be aware that the first 12 month extension must be obtained at that office.
