It's 2 months before applying and must remain until you get past the "Under Consideration" period and get your passport stamped; after that it is totally available to withdraw. The agent even pulled out a form that Imm uses to record monthly financials as "proof" I would have to provide...I still declined to give it to her.

First let me say that I am not an expert in this subject, but I also do an extension based on Marriage, in fact I got mine last week (Khon Kaen) , we don't use an agent, we do it ourselves, it is easy, especially after you do your first one.  

I have never provided a monthly statement. 

In fact last year there was a confusion in my bank deposit. We had recently bought an investment property and some how, (wife was handling the finances) the account fell below the 400k two weeks before I was due to do the extension, so I told the IO . then lets do the monthly income method.

He said , do don't worry just come back in two weeks when the funds are seasoned and we will do an overstay. I express concerns about reproductions , he said not to worry the is the one who handles the issue and no problem,, so two weeks later I paid a small overstay fine and was good to go. 

IMO the 2 month seasoning  period for the 400k is so that someone who just came to thailand to be with his wife, would have enough time to season the funds before he need to do an extension.

Requiring a whole years deposit would eliminate that option, and no one would be able to do their first extension  because no one would be able to open an account and stay here for a year to have a years worth of deposits. 

There must be some confusion, either on your part ot the agents part. 

I am sure they have a form but it could be the form nessacery to do the income option.

This year I did my extension a month before the due date. I think you can do it 45 days before, It gives you the time to resolve any issues before your due date

Good luck, 

I am interested to find out how it worked out for you, so please follow up after your visit.

In preparing our latest annual extension of stay based on marriage, we always submit evidence of 400K+ in the bank to meet the financial requirement.  We never use the monthly income method.  Now we were told, by an agent, that CM IM wants to also know your monthly income amount and sources.  I declined to provide that to the agent and we will see tomorrow if an IO requires this info....never have we ever been asked about my monthly income given we use the 400K+ in the bank method.

I don't think this is true, because you are only required to have the 400k in the bank 2 or three months, I think it is 2 but I am not sure because I keep mine there year round. 

Anyway , a monthly income would require a year long statement, and would prevent those who have been here less than a year from getting an extension, 

They claim to provide security, not to make the place totally secure, or provide insurance against theft.

They will not pay for your electrical cable, because if they do , they will establish precedent  and could be responsible for all thefts. 

I was wondering the same, and would like some items to decorate the house. I have not seen anything interesting in Khon Kaen. We plan to take a ride to Bangkok one of these days, I an sure there must be a lot there, 

I have not been to Chatuchak market in years so I don't know if they still do,  but when I was there last, I saw a lot of what I thought was interesting.

Why post your ignorance about one of the most well-known couples in the world? I'd have kept quiet about being so out of touch.

It is liberating. a wait of my chest. Now I can sleep well at night. 

Fourth post and you lead in with this! 

You gonna fit fine here . Welcome to the forum . 

Unless..... 

If they do, they are living in the wrong place. 

I had to look up the article to see who they were.

I thought they were the two who  moved to America.

Anyway...

The very fact that he even has a shot at another term as POTUS makes you all look stupid! As for Wonky Joe, no, I won't!

As an american I agree and confess am embarrassed by it. 

In our defence , I a not sure what country you are from, but I am sure you also have your chalanged individuals. 

You might even be one of them,

Please don't troll me with vulgar crap.

It is a common saying designed to display how  small moment define the long term. 

Apologies for the "vulgarity" I am sure you never heard f such language. Sorry I had to subject you to it. 

  and I was not trolling you I was replying to a post you made. I hope you now realise why what you said was wrong. 

Just now, Dolf said:

The topic is about Trump. You started talking about penis. Must be something wrong with you.

Just because you did not get it, does not mean that it's unknowable.

You made a not so bright comment. "two hour speech and they are only talking about the two minutes,

and I thought by using an allegory I would make you realise the error of that statement.  

Apparently it went over your head

I strongly agree. Question I have is what would the response be if Biden upon re-election pardon Trump for all 91?

I don't particularly like Biden , he supported the gulf war, he gave us Hillary when he gave up his spot to her in 2016 , and then he gave us the Ukraine was, but compared to trump he is miles better. 

Having said that 

I have no doubt, that regardless who is president, trump will never spend a day in prison,

Not sure how this will be accomplished.  Perhaps a Biden Pardon . like Ford to Nixon. 

or sone other way. I would not be happy not to see trump in jail. but I understand the realities, 

But good news for trump. After they are done with him, he will qualify for food stamps.

actually it's not, because if you bother to watch a clip of what was said this thread you will see this thread is misleading. he might have said the word, but it was not in the context implied here.

I am not going to ague with you , if it is misleading on not, I have made the case that it is not several times, and the definition of insanity is, "doing the same thing and expecting different results. 

 Even if you are to believe that it is believing, which is not, 

THE THREAD WILL STILL BE ABOUT TRUMP.  

It will all depends an the with and length of the hole .

If it is a wide hole, the meat can be spread out , maybe a ft thick, at which case the settling  in any particular are would be negligible. I am sure it would not be buried deep enough to affect water tables. 

IMO it would be good fertilizer,

Topic mentions Biden in the title. How is it not about both of them?

LOL

The thread is about what trump  said .  It is not about both of them. It could had said "there would be a bloodbath if trump loses in the general election"  and it would had made no difference to this thread.

I grow tired of this dance . you can solo. The floor is all yours.

Just now, Dolf said:

I think none of your posts address the real issue of Biden's health which is very poor.

Again

this thread is about trump ! see?

"Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November "

Good try. but no cigar

Another off topic deflection.

I thought you changed  tact and now we were making irrelevant statements? 

Was I wrong?
