Rapid acceleration? What "decisive" action? Isn't something missing. It is noteworthy that the first HSR railway systems works are only "currently standing at a mere 0.95%.". After several years work. but what action is being taken.

Thanks Dr Jack54, that explains. I have used CW many times before and expected that the statement is the same day. Pleasantly surprised when Hua hin said that its vaild longer.

and comment by liquorice Bangkok Bank can update your book to the current date without the need of a deposit. I am not aware of any requirement to deposit the same day. It is not on the lists of requirements i got from chaeng wattana and Hua hin and was not required recently at hua hin. You can update the bank book at an ATM on the day of application then get copies made but, in my experience two times, if doing it early in the morning it may not initially show the today's date. Make sure that you check it. I re-inserted in the ATM and it then added today's date with the same balance as the day earlier. Check how long the stamped bank statement is valid. I thought it had to be same day, but Hua hin immigration told me it is valid longer. i cannot remember precisely how long they said, i was not bothered at the time. Find out at your immigration offiice.

Grateful if you can clarify the 40k. I do not see it on minimum monthly salary requirements for foreign nationals. see attached. Likely to be something I am not aware of, teaching etc. Not challenging it, simply Interested to know.

Thanks for clarifying. I perhaps should have asked at the thai embassy whether there are other methods of payment, etc. However, if people want to check, then try sending an email I had some queries and could not get through by telephone. Always busy. I sent an email with my queries and got a response within a day. All queries well answered clearly. Thats was very good.

From the post i did not expect that he was in the uk. He did not say so. And i was correct Read his next post.

I did the train ride from bangkok to hua hin, on an aircon carriage that was a sleeper. Never again without ear plugs. The constant noise from the phones and babble fron conversations was a nightmare even for a 3.5 hour journey. Mainly thais, next to nobody using earphones.

Yes, very good to point out. It will make it easier for people who are based here and do not have to go to uk. Can you confirm what you did to pay the thai embassy and for them to post. That would help others. I noted before that was an issue, that would be solved by having somebody in the uk to get the documents each time. I presume that to pay the thai embassy you could include a cheque, if they accept it. Or cash in notes. Or do they provide for payment by telephone. For the prepaid envelope to the thai embassy, how did you send that to them. If its a UK prepaid it would need to be bought in UK. Can you pay and they post it.

I am now getting a translation into thai done here. Its normally necessary if married to a thai.. I am married to a thai and family registration in the amphur they normally want the translation so that they can enter into their system. Immigration may accept the documents in english, but check with them. For full legalisation here in Thailand the translation is required and it needs to be certified by MFA.

As stated above, you probably need the marriage cerificate legalized in the uk. It was very hard to do ten years ago when i considered it first, but a bit easier now that i needed it.. I have just done it. You can now order legalization by the Uk FCDO office and that saves a lot of the earlier problems. Go to https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised it explains what you need to do. You can now pay online and order that docs are sent to an address. You must send original copies of cert to FCDO in UK. Obviously, be careful how you send it if its the original. I had a few original copies from the uk registrar, so i did not have to send the main original. Once UK legalized, it needs to go to the Thai Embassy in London for Thai legalisation. I was visiting the uk when I did this, so I got the Uk legalisation sent to a friend near london, picked it up and went to THai embassy walk in morning ( no appointment - took 15 minutes). They said it takes 3 days. I paid and gave them a stamped adrressed envelope registered first class and received it in Manchester 4 days later. If you are not in Uk then you need somebody there to do processing. attached FYI, Copy of legalisation on back of marriage cert.

Check package prices with hospitals, including bangkok christian hospital. Also, if your doctor knows somebody at chulalongkorn, check if they can do it. It will be cheaper.

An agent can do both for you. You have to sign the form giving them the authorisation. And in my experience yes allow 4 weeks.

To Brightonman what BrandonJT was alluding to, is that there is another way to try to deal with the situation. I have no idea whether the family extension qualifies as a NON-O to then switch to marriage. I also have no idea wherther going from a non-b will be allowed. Its bad enough that from my expereience you cannot go to marriage. Dr Jack may be able to give advice. However, you need to think carefully about the sixty days. As i pointed out before, you have time to get the money transferred if you do it fairly quickly now and get another sixty days from going out and back in visa exempt. Or the family extension may provide it, but timing is critical. Giving a visa extension with no financial requirements seems far fetched. How are you going to live? Some posts i see suggest that for a family extension you may need to show proof of financial status. Easy for immigration to expect that you have have the money to support you and your wife.

Stop making excuses now about your confusing a thai family extension that was not mentioned.

If people contribute its best that they read the post, and do not start to insult others. No point in trying to assist an OP if its going to bring out the worst in some people.

dont be start talking daft. You obviously cannot read english.

Read the Post heading and the first post. if you want to tell him to do something else then make that ckear.

Your post is irrelevant to the OP. He is referrring to marriage.

I posted the marriage visa checklists from Chaeng Wattana and Hua hin in the post justr below. https://aseannow.com/topic/1352010-simple-question-for-this-idiot-about-non-o-marriage-multi-entry/#comment-19596444 Its the same for the first 90 day Non-O. Unless you can tell the OP where to go to avoid it.

Where does not need the 400k?

The last post from Josephbloggs is correct matching my knowledge. however most embassies need the evisa system and you will have to go outside for 7 to 10 days. Some places outside do not need the 400 k for the first non-o ninety days, but you will need to search. I did the simplest thing, go out and get visa exempt. its 60 days. then apply here for the first ninety day. However, to do that you will need the 400k in the bank the length required. If you get the 400 k transferred quickly now, you may be able to plan going out and apply when you come back in. You say you have 6 weeks, presume you have to get out then. You need to read the posts below that also concern what to do at work permit expiry. If you go out in 6 weeks, and get 60 days visa exempt on return. You could meet the 400k time period. Be aware that getting the first 90 day here needs alot of paperwork and can take 3 to 4 weeks from the application. I am still waiting after 3 weeks (but that did include songkran.)

From experience and trying, no in bangkok and no in hua hin. This is not as easy as some like to think. I understand that agents can do it but the OP would be looking at two major counts. One for not normally be allowed to get the non-o from a non-b. the second for not having the 400k. Will be expensive. A lot of posts recently that the OP should have been able to find and need to be read. I will post to the OP to follow.

It still needs the 400,000 as well as all the paperwork. If he has been working and earning enough then last years tax return will be accepted for income, but then there is still the need for the 400,000 baht in the bank from the earnings. If the OP posting does not have the 400,000 then bhe needs to get it transferred in to get it seasoned the length of time required. A lot of posts recently that need to be read. I will post to the OP will follow.

So many with no interest on what is a real and for many a sad headline. Perhaps there is a new age coming? I will not add any of my own comment, just stick to posting somthing that i trust is simply either amusing or worrisome. I do not intend to reply to comments.

Understood thanks rob. That is what i plan to do. I had the money in the bank this time much more, but they still asked for the tax return etc. I trust it was only because my first time marriage visa and because i was previously on work based visa. For the one year i do not intend to give them anything other than the bank statements with seasoned money.
