What I meant is much less work for immigration. -

That's so true and weird in my thinking. If rejected he should ask to see the higher level io. At CW they are the ones at rear of L desks. The OP's immigration office surely has similar set up on much smaller scale. Perhaps the OP could mention he plans to switch to marriage if retirement not an option. Might give the io incentive as much less paperwork for retirement. -

The rules for the financials is crystal clear and OP is aware of them. Zero point in reading the requirements on website. -

OK skip the idea of two accounts. One more thing. If you have no joy with immigration ... Have you used your 60 day extension to visit wife. That would provide 2 months of seasoning. Then obtain extension based on retirement. -

Tick Tock. Best go asap to find out if the small short time withdrawal will be overlooked. Did you reply to option of supplying 2 bank accounts. Obviously would need to be in your name only. -

I understand what you are pointing out however.... Assuming that this 20k withdrawal was done recently, I recall (think it was uj) stating that the balance could be as low as 400k in the 2 months prior to changing from based on retirement to based on marriage. Folk doing that I always suggest stick with the 800k for two months prior to application just to be on safe side.. If withdrawal was recent , don't think issue for the OP. -

The OP mentions 800k so it's extension based on retirement. The requirement is 800k in account two months prior to application and maintained for 3 months and not below 400k at other times. -

OP, do you also have another bank account in your name only. Immigration will (should) accept two bank accounts that together meet the requirements. OP, you mention wife. You could change your extension to based on marriage. That only requires 400k two months prior to application plus under consideration period. -

Geez. You were rejected based on not having provided a TM30. That is very easy to state in your OP. ... And yes that should not be required unless you changed address . Edit: now I read above it was extension based on marriage. Advice: make a detailed OP in future. There seems currently more scrutiny on extensions based on marriage

What type of extension? What was reason given for rejection? Guessing they were asking for TM30. Was your previous annual extension done at CW? Seriously post sensible details.

Bit of a tip. The reason your posts (in this thread) are confusing is that you keep including ancient history. I keep having to read sentences several times. Seems you returned last Nov on visa exempt and obtained a non O based on marriage. Now applying for 12 month extension. Leave out everything else. BTW the 2000baht also confuses as that is fee for non O application. For extension it is 1900b Marriage extensions always more scrutiny as not only require proof of marriage but also living together. Think you got a raw deal. Perhaps gaps in your status in Thailand drew attention.
