Indeed. No requirement for her to be with you for pp stamp after under consideration period.

You know nothing about process of opening Thai bank account in Bangkok. Embarrassing yourself. Also check out Thai driving license forum to come up to speed on current requirements for TDL in Bangkok

Indeed. If not shown as such then would require "credit advice" from Bank that received the transfer.

Normally just most recent TM47 receipt would cut it. If you have a lease or current TM30 that could suffice.

The OP can change to extension based on retirement with use of an agent. Seems to me the most sensible and perhaps only option. Broke Confined to wheelchair out of house. Wife advanced cancer.

Believe it when it happens. Enough Sherlock Holmes threads running debates on the "new tax rule"

You will need to show 12 month of transfers PRIOR to applying for extension using income method. Currently now I am making monthly transfers of 65k+ along with maintaining the funds in bank method. 12 month overlap

That does not always work. For 10 years at CW I never was required to show TM47. My most recent it was required. The OP in this attached thread had same experience. https://aseannow.com/topic/1309772-report-cw-bangkok-non-immigrant-o-extension-retirement/

That is exactly what I'm currently doing. I obtained my most recent extension (Oct 2023) and will follow "money in bank" rules till my next extension (Oct 2024). At the same time have started monthly transfers (65k+) For next extension will show 12 months of transfers. Being Oz, no income letter available. Back to the OP, don't think he understands the income method requirements also not clear what the agent actually did on his behalf. Was it just hand holding or did agent cover the financial requirements.

Silly post. The OP is on tourist visa. Bank will require a TM47 report being made at CW to obtain a certificate of residence. His embassy may provide equivalent however some do not. COR also required for drivers license in Bangkok. The OP requires an agent for bank account

It's just modus operandi for Jomitien. They may want you to use an agent. Ridiculous immigration office

No. As @norbra pointed out you would need to show 12 months of transfers unless your embassy provides income letter.. Currently I'm maintaining 800k in bank and for next 12 months transfers. Being Oz, my embassy does not provide income letter.

You have to love clowns that attach laughing emoji to topics they know nothing about.. By all means attach a laugh and at very least back it up with advice to help the OP.

Would need to be fire sale price. OP stated lives in some random village. Very difficult to sell. The OP is in 90,s Poor planning. Also is broke. Thinking best option is to draw up agreement where he can live ongoing in house until curtain day. Then home go to wife family. Not uncommon.

Exactly "who cares" . So cut to the chase you are saying a Turkish guy cannot obtain ongoing extensions based on marriage to a Thai national. As I mentioned earlier an agent can assist with bank account especially if you have a non O . Stick with your plan others above have pointed out it's a valid pathway. On an aside...why did the uncle need to come up with 400k. Couldn't you have transferred funds to wife account.

OP, didn't you comment on this in March.. Why surprised. https://aseannow.com/topic/1289219-how-soon-can-i-get-a-visa-extension/

You can obtain a non O based on marriage and subsequently obtain a 60 day extension to visit wife. Don't understand why you could not open a bank account with a non O. Did you apply in Bangkok? If you stay 8 months imo your plan is not best option. Enter Thailand with a non O and obtain ongoing 12 month extensions based on marriage. The financials is a very low hurdle given funds do not need to remain in bank. Think you are making easy difficult.

First reply from OP. He booked 3 days. Also onward flight https://aseannow.com/topic/1305565-setv-vientiane-update/

Siam Legal previously provided this service. Thinking they stopped. You could check with @ThaiVisaCentre . You won't be able to do it by yourself in Bangkok due to not being able to obtain certificate of residence on tourist visa. In Bangkok it requires you to have made a TM47 report. Suggest Pattaya a better option with agent such as Maneerat Soi 13/2

How much is all this used furniture worth? Cut your losses and move on

That's because Jomtien operates under Jomtien rules. Farcical immigration office.

No

You are ignorant of TM30 requirements. Can't fix that. Search "new TM30 requirements" on AseanNow. The requirements were changed June 2020. Ignorance is bliss

OP, as others have pointed out... You need to clarify what the agent did for you regarding financial requirements. Frankly seems that you have zero idea of the requirements. Income method requires min 65k transfers from o/s every month. Update your past extension process for accurate advice.

Why did you submit new TM30. Not required. Hotel stays irrelevant
