I was fooled by the subject to think that we could find that information here.

 

We need a list of where to apply. As far as I know, Thailand Longstay Company is one of the places (if not the only one) to apply; however, there is absolutely no information on their website: http://www.thailongstay.co.th

 

I send them an e-mail yesterday, no reply yet.

Some well planned PR.  . Thai long stay and  Farang short time

Thare has been talk about some people getting a 2nd 60 day extension based on marriage. Lots of Chinese whispers so not sure what to believe. I'm in Phuket 

Thanks

While nothing is certain, is it pretty much a done deal when paying an agent or just improve your chances. 

Im also one of the lucky ones with a non O ME (1 term left) based on marriage and have already used my 60 day extension. Im not sure whether I can apply for a 1 year extension as I am not on a valid visa and hoping they accept my last 90 day entry without a border run or get a letter from the embassy which Australia seems happy to help based on the situation in a month. 

For proof of funds we need to show an international transfer but I get paid via paypal and then into my Kasikorn Bank which shows a domestic transfer.

Does anyone have experience or advice transferring money from Thailand to overseas and then back into Thailand for proof of funds. Transferwise was mentioned a few weeks ago and has the option to transfer via SCB USA Branch into Kasikorn with the required TFF on the bank statment.

Thanks

Im fairly certain you have to leave every 3 months regardless and apply for the 1 year visa in the last month of the final extension.  

For a non multiple entry you can fly to Singapore and back within an afternoon and no questions asked coming back in. Can also extend it by 60 days for 2000B but needed rental documents from landlord with government stamps etc. The tourist police in Phuket immigration had no clue about the 60 day extension so was a few trips back and forth getting the right paperwork. Ah the joys

No need for agents.. The guy didnt even look at me. Looked for the marriage cert, signed copy of wife ID card and threw all property documentation back at me. Make sure you have it as you never know but were super relaxed  and well worth the travel from Phuket as malaysia getting tougher every time. 

I just arrived back from savvannakhet and despite having multiple red stamps and an overstay by 7 days I had no issue getting a Non O with the paperwork mentioned above. The embassy doesnt except Kip so make sure you have 5k in Baht and haggle with the tuks tuks outside the embassy as they will rip you off left and right..

And if you do any long bus trips do not book a sleeper unless you like spooning with some  random local as the width is shoulder to shoulder and not designed for anyone over 5'9. Didnt get a wink of sleep.
