In Rayong's case definitely handled by them. If possible, better to get a native speaker to call them rather than attempting to do so yourself, I think (individual officers' grasp of the English language there tends to be minimal at best in my experience). They've certainly answered calls made by my wife on my behalf promptly on a couple of occasions, and provided her with clear and meaningful answers to my queries. But neither related to online 90-day reporting, though.

Rayong Immigration have been known to steadfastly refuse to budge 90-day reports submitted online from the "Pending" category in my experience, unfortunately. Think that your only option is to go along there in person before your current reporting window expires clutching a completed TM47 form (which they're always insistent on, come what may), together with a print-out of your "Pending" status confirmation notification as previously advised and your previous 90-day notification slip (in addition to your passport, of course). I would strongly advise you against wasting your time in endeavouring to seek an explanation from them as to why your online report wasn't approved. Despite having my wife in tow in an effort to tease this out of them in their native language on one occasion, the best that she could get out of them after a prolonged attempt was something along the lines of "Blame the computer" - a face-saving reply aimed purely at masking bungling incompetence and ineptitude, I think!

Thanks for this. I, too, went through the agonies of renewing my passport a few months ago - and have certainly not pulled my punches in completing this survey as regards expressing my strongly negative views about the procedures we Brits are subject to at passport renewal time from Thailand. Much good may that do in practice, though, I strongly suspect, unfortunately.

But he's not liking the answers he's been given for some mysterious reason...........????

Wow, you certainly have a unique way of expressing your gratitude to the likes of @DrJack54and myself who are only trying our best to help you out of your predicament, don't you? Anyway I'm now out of this thread and you'll shortly be on Ignore as far as I am concerned.

Well just carry on nitpicking, old chap. You can now go on to overstay after Friday as far as I am concerned.

No it wasn't, you also said "Not sure why some are saying 800k must be 3 months prior to applying.." Why did you choose to include that particular statement if you already knew the reason for it?!!

He certainly needs to work to some pretty fine margins, I think. But he only has himself to blame for this state of affairs IMHO.

@Foreignheight6foot2 - it occurs to me that, if you were to lodge your application for a non-O conversion at least 8 days after you had been re-admitted into Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption, the 400k would have been seasoned for 2 months in any event. Just beware, though, that you would need to submit a non-O conversion application at least 15 days before your visa-exempt permission to stay expired.

@Foreignheight6foot2 - upon reflection I don't think that this will be necessary in your case. While this requirement is explicitly stated for non-O conversions based on retirement, it isn't for conversions based on marriage. Alas I missed the bus for editing my post further!????

It is looking increasingly likely to me in the light of your subsequent comments that the only practical option now open to you is to do a border run before Friday (7th), returning to Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption (reduced from 45 days since 1 April) which you will then need to convert to a single-entry 90-day non-O visa for marriage at your local immigration office. Official requirements are spelt out in the following link:- https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/6.FOR-PROVIDING-SUPPORT-TO-OR-BEING-A-DEPENDANT-OF-A-THAI-CITIZEN-SPOUSE-VISA-NON-O.pdf As I understand 7.2, there won't be a 2-month seasoning requirement for your 400k in the bank in this instance - although you may well be required to prove its foreign origins. But, first and foremost, I would strongly advise you to discuss this whole approach with your local immigration office ASAP (ie tomorrow the 5th at the very absolute latest as the office will be closed on the 6th for Chakri Day).

It is once per visa used to gain entry into Thailand. As in my case this visa could have been used many years ago, with permissions to stay in Thailand being subsequently extended on an annual basis.

What I do is to take along a copy of the letter the bank gave me last year and tell them "Same again, please" ????

Adherence to the official rules is dependent on 3 things:- (1) the particular immigration office with which you deal, (2) the particular officer within that office with whom you deal on a particular occasion, and (3) most crucially, which side of the bed said officer had got out of that morning. ????

Agreed - as I have already stated up thread, Savannakhet would IMHO appear to be the OP's optimal destination of choice in view of his present financial situation. OP - Google "site:aseannow.com savannakhet" to view a number of reports on here from those who have recently obtained non-O visas from the Savannakhet Consulate.

So presumably you (and others in your position needing 12-month statements from Bangkok Bank) need to take particular care to ensure that no transactions (+ or -) hit your account at least during the time it takes Bangkok Bank to produce a 12-month statement, since the latest balance total reported in this statement could otherwise be out of kilter with that reported in the bank account confirmation letter (all the more likely if Kamphaeng Phet are just as insistent on this letter being obtained on the same day as you lodge an extension of stay application with them as their Rayong counterparts, I would have thought), thus giving Kamphaeng Phet in your case yet another excuse for making life difficult for you at annual extension of stay time, presumably!

Does your office not accept consecutive 6-month statements 6 months apart from each other? Mine (Rayong) certainly does for the 40k/65k monthly income method, based on personal experience.

And specifically Savannakhet for a new multi-entry non-O visa, I think - recent report below:-

And not just 1 long queue but possibly up to 4 at peak times: (1) check-in, (2) security, (3) re-entry permit and (4) Immigration, followed by a long trek to a distant departure gate only to be then told that boarding for your flight has closed!????

Which Embassy? May not necessarily be the same as the OP's!

Not necessarily so. The Embassy letter in the OP's case might take the form of a confirmation of monthly income as based on supporting evidence provided by the applicant (as was certainly the case for us Brits before our "beloved" Embassy pulled the plug on their income confirmation service a few years ago).

In your case you might, in practice, only need to provide proof to Immigration in the form of evidence provided to your home country embassy as required to issue their letter. No big deal, I would have thought! In the meantime, we're still awaiting your clarification as to whether it's actually a non-O visa conversion from your local office that you're after, or an annual extension of stay.????

As does Jersey.

Precisely what do you mean by this expression? An application for an annual extension of stay based on marriage? Or for the conversion of a visa-exempt or tourist visa entry into a non-O visa for marriage, for which the official requirements are clearly spelt out in the link below (section 7 is particularly relevant in the context of your specific query)? https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/6.FOR-PROVIDING-SUPPORT-TO-OR-BEING-A-DEPENDANT-OF-A-THAI-CITIZEN-SPOUSE-VISA-NON-O.pdf

Yep, your local office (CW?) might well spot a missed 90-day report when you next need to do business with them for any reason, and slap you with a 2,000 THB fine as a result (although that shouldn't in its own right prove a bar to the success of your fresh extension of stay application based on an original non-B visa in July).
