Interested as well. I believe it's a year. So, you and the wife want to go to Sing, Japan for a few days?? Leave and be forced into covid insurance for a year.
It really has me questioning my life here.
Covid is forever in$urance will be forever! A$Q as well.
If that is the case it would make more since to let your non o visa expire then return on a 60 day tourist visa and buy covid insurance only for the 60 days then get a new non-o visa in Thailand and not have to apply for the covid insurance correct?

I will be travelling soon to USA from Thailand I have a non-o visa and will get a reentry stamp. Upon return how long do I have to buy the covid insurance for? Does it have to be until my full one year of stay expires or will I get a 30 or 60 stamp at the airport immigration upon return?

You do not need medical insurance to get a COE if you have a non-o visa or a re-entry permit for a extension of stay based upon marriage.
You do need the $100.000 covid 19 insurance for the length of stay you will get when entering the country.
Check here for covid 19 insurance. https://www.tipinsure.com/CovidRegional/product_detail
Hello,
Sorry if a dumb question but I have an extension of stay based on marriage and will be leaving for a few months and returning I know I have to get a reentry stamp before I leave but my question is when I return what kind of stamp will I get at the airport at immigration for how long to stay? Will it be for 30 or 60 days? or Do I need to buy the covid insurance for the whole year until my new extension of stay expires? I would like to buy the shortest time frame that is allowed for covid insurance.
Thank you

Thanks.
Use your Bangkok Bank for overseas transfers as per the method UJ suggested (probably easier to set up) or Wise (ex Transferwise).
This year you'll have to use the 400K in the bank method.
Assuming you apply for the extension the month before the due date (July) then to be on the safe side you should start transferring the 40K from next month (July) to ensure you have proof of 12 x overseas transfers when you apply in June 2022.
As to whether you transfer the 400K back to the US after obtaining your extension, is entirely up to you. Occasionally Immigration request proof of the source of income, i.e. Pension. If your SS pension doesn't start until Jan 2022 and they notice, then the question may arise where the transfers from July to Dec 2021 came from.
Great Thank you to you and UJ as well.

A credit advise shows where funds were sent from and by what bank. You can request them at the bank.
If using international direct deposits (IDP) from the SSA a to a Thai bank the will be sent in baht and the are cleared at Bangkok of Thailand before they sent to your bank by them. It can be difficult to get the international transfer proof.
If you set up a direct deposit account with Bangkok Bank the are sent by the SSA to the their New York branch and then credited to you account as foreign transfers (FFT code in your bank book). Info is here on the bank website.
Thank you

The US embassy does not do income affidavit anymore. That ended in 2018.
You have to prove 12 months of transfers from abroad into a Thai bank account. If your transfers are marked as foreign transfers you will need a 12 month bank statement and copies of your bank book to prove the amount.
If not shown as foreign transfers you would need credit advices for every transfer,
Can you please clarify what credit advices are? And does it make a difference if I just have the monthly social security payments just direct deposit right into my Thai bank account instead of going into my usa bank account and me doing the transfers monthly myself? Thank you

Your not applying for or extending your Non O Visa.
Your extending your permission of stay (a permit, not a Visa) from the 90 days granted from your original Non O Visa, which expired a long time ago.
To meet the financial requirements for an extension based on marriage using the 40K per month income method, you must prove monthly overseas International transfers into a Thai bank account in your sole name.
As you already have an existing extension, to switch from the 400K funds in the bank, to the 40K income method you must provide evidence of 12 x 40K monthly overseas transfers on the date of application.
Using the 400K funds in a Thai bank you do not have to leave those funds in the bank all year. Once your extension has been granted you can withdraw and use the full amount. You only need the 400K in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the date of application.
The US Embassy no longer issue affidavits supporting the Income method.
So in theory could I just send the 400 k thai baht bank account to a usa bank account then start transferring 40,000 k thai baht per month for 12 months and show the bank statements of the transfers even if there not from social security yet? when applying for the extension? In addition does it matter if the social security checks are direct deposit into a Thai bank account do I still need 12 months of proof of 40,000k thai baht per month from the bank statements as proof at time of re applying for another extension?
-
Can anyone please confirm I currently keep 400 k in a Thai bank account to meet the requirement of my visa, However I will get social security soon from the Usa and I will meet the requirement of 40,000 Thai baht per month so I wont have to keep the 400 k in a Thai bank account any longer. So my question is how do I prove to Immigration that I now qualify for social security and meet the 40,000 Thai baht per month requirement? Is it just a bank statement that shows the social security deposits or can it be an affidavit from the Usa embassy?
Thank you

My general list of required documents and etc is here. Marriage Extension Requirements 2.pdf
All went well at immigration today and got a stamp for under consideration for 30 days. (marriage extension) One thing to add to list at least what else they asked for was a copy of every page in your bank book showing deposits etc.. as well as the bank letter stating your current money on hand.

Random question? Could you change your extension of stay based on marriage to a retirement visa without leaving the country during this lock down? I understand you need 800,000 thai baht in bank account but does it need in for two months as well? Any other new requirements that would be needed to complete this step if it could be done?
Thank you

You cannot get married again to the same person.
You will need to register your foreign marriage at a Amphoe to get a Kor Ror 22 marriage registry.
Your marriage certificate must be authenticated, translated to Thai and the translation certified by the Department of Consular Affairs in Bangkok.
You can do a self authentication of your marriage certificate by doing a affidavit stating it is true, correct and valid at the US embassy or the consulate in Chiang Mai. It has the translated to Thai certified the same way as the marriage certificate.
Thank you Ubonjoe. Your information is always great, by the way had a great lunch the other day in ubon while doing a Thai passport for our daughter a lot of great restaurants in Ubon. Thanks again

My wife and I have been married for 13 years. Marriage was in the USA. I would like know how I would go about getting the marriage done in Thailand as well if it is possible. Thank you

Getting ready to renew my one year extension (marriage). Can someone please provide an updated list of all the requirements in case I am missing something. Thank you in advance.

Yes
If it was not in English it would have to be translated.
Thank you as always Ubonjoe. Your input is great and very kind.

That is only needed for foreign marriages. It is not needed for marriages registered here.
So please correct me if I am wrong. I have a marriage certificate from USA that is only in English and a kor ror 22 from the local amphur and that should be enough for immigration going forward?

Signed copies of one's Wife's House Book + Wife's ID Card plus Kor Ror 2 and Marriage Certificate are one thing - needed everywhere, every time (date-of / how-recent of KR2 varies).
Landlord Docs are another set, which varies by type of residence (your condo, wife's house, rented-place, company-owned place), and which Immigration office.
Financial Docs are another set, which varies by type of income (Thai or overseas) OR "in the bank" money, and also by which Immigration office.
Did your Marriage Certificate need to be translated and certified? I was married in USA and the USA embassy in Bangkok will not certify a document (marriage cert) will only certify a affidavit of saying you were married. Last time I got my one year extension local immigration wanted a certified translated marriage certificate including the kor ror 22 from the local amphur.

1. Do all the same exact steps need to be followed that I did to get my 1st one year extension of stay based on marriage?
2. Will immigration come again to visit the house like they did the first time?
3. How soon before my current extension of stay expires can I file for a new one?
Thank you

With me "working from home" with the office aircon running (set to 31C mind) we use about 60 units - a day ????
yeap maybe could do it with a 15 watt bulb and a flashlight as back up lol

That's right, use under 90 units per month (for 3 months I think) and it's free, use 91 units and you pay for all of it.
I would think pretty hard to do to keep under 90 units per month as a Falang

They've certainly increased the limit for free power from 50 to 90 units per month, not heard about free for all.
Doesnt it have to do with your overall usage if you use over a certain amount of kwh you dont get any type of credit?

Well that's not going to open in a hurry, 63A on a 5/15 meter, I expect the meter would enter low-earth orbit before the breaker trips (they're not THAT robust ???? ).
Good that it's an RCBO.
With your current loads it's not going to be an issue, but if you add water heaters and the like you should consider upgrading the supply to a 15/45.
Ok thank you for your time and answers. I did call the pea company and they came and said my current wiring to meter would need changed to handle a 15/45 and the cost of a meter etc.. I thought by doing the math I would be ok. I guess I just need to be careful with microwave, washing machine etc when unit is on or bite the bullet later on and pay for a 15/45.

Your 18k BTU A/C will be nearly 2kW when running flat out, yes about 8-9A.
You're probably not actually stressing the meter at all (theoretically 15A max on a 5/15). They're pretty robust anyway, a 100% overload won't blow it up, but it will become inaccurate (and bet it won't read low).
What size is your main breaker?
Not sure here is a picture of it. Thank you

Yes I do have an extension of stay how is the date determined on your re-entry permit? Do you have to tell immigration when you plan to return or how does valid date be determined? Thank you
