If you are yet to open a bank account I would suggest one from this paste from advice from WISE. ... Also be aware that SCB does not have a branch at CW. Savings account or FD account is fine provided that the funds are instantly available without loss (apart from interest) "You can send up to 2 million THB per transfer. Please note that you’ll be able to send 50,000 THB or above per transfer only to the following banks starting from 7 January 2022 due to regulatory changes: Bangkok Bank Public Company Kasikorn Bank Siam Commercial BanK

Two months. When you arrive you will be stamped in for 90 days. Transfer the 800k baht into Thai bank account in your name only. In the last 30 days of your permit obtain an extension. Assume that you have Thai bank account?

I stated that immigration would not know unless someone tells them (x wife) . This thread (one of many) discusses the topic. There also can be an issue with changing to based on retirement at end of extension based on marriage if divorced during the extension period.

Just realized your thread heading. Best to go to transport office in CM and ask what they require.

Didn't miss the point at all. This topic has been done to death. There are various options that suit various folk. Your post is nothing new.

Separate the two parts of your post. Seems that you have obtained a non O marriage. The next step to that is to apply for 12 month extension assuming that is your plan. If just on a holiday then indicate that. Re your licences where are you located

This was advised in my post at the start.... "There are options that are outlined to help travellers feel relaxed. They include trying to obtain boarding pass and if onward flight is requested then step away from counter and book cheapest onward flight"... Making folk aware of that option. Obviously requires internet connection.

The fact that it's a FD account without 'daily transactions ' should not require bank statements. Photocopies of bank book pages along with bank letter should be sufficient.

There are options that are outlined to help travellers feel relaxed. They include trying to obtain boarding pass and if onward flight is requested then step away from counter and book cheapest onward flight. Another option is the "rent a ticket" websites. Also suggest to airline that you are happy to sign a waiver. Etc etc. BTW it is not myself only suggesting these options when asked by posters. Think I'm in pretty good company with an expert such as ubonjoe suggesting the same.

Yes However really good idea to have a minimum of day or two up your sleeve for obscure requirement from immigration. Example request of bank statements even though bank book pages photocopies acceptable in the past ....is example of curve ball.

Yes yes your continual posting on this topic and even now starting a thread is based on YOUR experience. If I recall correctly you do not fly Jetstar from Oz. In any event the advice posted by many is basically that it does occur (requirement for onward flight), even though not in your personal experience.

Who cares. It does occur. Seems more common with low cost airlines and even moreso with flights from nearby countries such as Vietnam etc.

That's correct. If asked for onward flight it would be from the airline at departure not immigration upon arrival. That would only occur flying without visa or reentry permit.

Correct. Wash and repeat for future extensions.

You can apply for extension up till date of expiry of permission of stay. When timing is not an issue most do it some weeks prior to expiry in case extra docs required.

Money in the bank method for extensions does not require to be shown money comes from overseas. Income method different. Ignore the stuff you quoted from Siam Legal.

With an extension based on marriage or retirement you would require a reentry permit. Suggest you obtain at your immigration office or airport. 1000baht single and 3800b multi. TM8 form with photo and some basic photocopies from pp.

That is only for obtaining a non O retirement within Thailand. There is no requirement to show funds from abroad for extensions both based on marriage or retirement.

That's disappointing. Which immigration office?

ME non O marriage available at Savannakhet but not at Vientiane. One advantage with the ME Non O is it does not have the financial requirements required to extention to non O . Also no home visit etc.

Years gone by had a reputation as being difficult however that seemed to have changed. Be aware that if you wish to deal with another office you would require a TM30 change of address. You need to deal with the office where you live.. CW is good and very professional.

Just to add..... Personally I have never read or even heard of the application being accepted by local immigration then later to be rejected. I guess it has happened but rare as hens teeth. OP , all is good. Just now organize for your 12 month extension that you can apply for with the funds having been in the bank for 2 months+ on the day you apply.

Yes you can your visa exempt by 30 days . 1900baht. The bank letter you also asked about is issued on the spot. Best to do that on day of application for the non O .

I will type it one more time. The day you get divorced your permission of stay ends. I also mentioned that immigration is not notified so people could just remain on their current extension. Usually to then change to based on retirement for next extension the wife would be required at the time of the extension even though you are changing to based on retirement.

It's not incorrect. True you can change what the non O is based on. In your example from marriage to retirement. That would need to be done when the divorce is finalized. Also naturally you would need to qualify for retirement.
