Popular Post roiethome Posted February 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2018 In the past I have extended my retirement visa for 15 years with no problems at all, getting the stamp same day. Now I am working again so last year changed to marriage extension. Today I had all the supporting documents and details as listed on the immigration web site and expected no issues, (same as last years documents) But the officer dealing with my case refused to accept the application as there were documents missing. She now requires: A map not only of my house but also where I work Pictures of me at a desk working Full details of the company shareholders When I politely pointed out that these were not listed on the web site, she just laughed and said no takes any notice of the website. Thailand 4.0 is a joke as they cannot even get 1.0 right. I hope this helps others avoid the hassle that I am having. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiaexpat Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Obviously the IO was expecting to extend your stay based on work. Your work information is not required when extending based on "Thai Wife." Try again and remind the IO you are extending based on marriage to a Thai National, but do not mention work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been using income method instead which would necessitate the work info. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roiethome Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Asiaexpat. I need to renew using work to show I am earning more than 400K per year. I would never keep more than a few baht in a Thai bank as they have no guarantee like western banks and could easily fold. Interestingly the first officer refused to accept that I could renew using my work salary and insisted I show money in Thai bank. I had to insist on seeing the supervisor who was better acquainted with the requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a Thai bank folded, easily or not, in the past? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you must have had a foreign income in excess of 65K or at least 800K in the bank. You must now be using income from your job in Thailand, which is why the are asking for the work information. If you had 400K in the bank or 40K income from abroad you wouldn't need to provide the extra Thai work related documents.

Popular Post phetpeter Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2018 If working for a company or school you need to show contract, bank statements showing income to bank and directors statement confirming income, plus if a company they must show details and registration, if a school or government establishment they will have no problem. If working for self, you will have to full details of cash! to prove income. and I disagree that Thai banks are in most must more safer than easily on your funds than any UK bank. Your excuse is totally unfounded, My local banks are kind and very helpful and 7 days a week and late open are all in Tesco lotus stores. Try that in UK! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
