Maestro Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 At what Thai uembassy or consulate do you plan to apply for your visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Do you mean you want to switch to extension of stay based on marriage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 OAP suggests you are English. Although you mention visa, I suspect that you mean extension of stay. Full details for applying for an extension based on marriage (400k Baht) can be found in the pinned topics above in the Thailand visas section.

fishtank Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 There is no 400,000 Baht system for a retirement "Visa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) The best fit I can think of is you are currently on a retirement extension based on money in the Thai bank, 800,000 baht. To reduce that to 400,000 you would need to be applying for an extension based on being married to a Thai. Referred to as a Marriage Extension here.

Yes. Or married and income of 40,000 a month. I believe there's an option as parent of a child as well. Edited June 29, 2019 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 main types of long term extensions. Retirement, requiring 800,000 baht in the bank for 2+3 months and 400,000 the remaining 7 months of the year, You need to be 50 yo. Another is a married extension, where you need to show 400,000 to live off which can be utilized once the extension is issued. You would need to prove you are married to and living with a Thai. There are income and combination options too, or Embassy letter if you can get one. Edited June 29, 2019 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
