jasonr3255 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I was hoping to apply for my 1st Extension of stay based on marriage around the 4th March this year 2020 (Buriram) immigration office. The 400,000 baht would have been in my account for the required 2 months My questions are as follows, 1. If all paperwork for the extension is correct is it issued in the passport that day or is there a waiting period before it’s issued and I would be required to return to the office after a number of days & necessary checks carried out ?? 2. Can I apply for a Multi re-entry permit on the same day as applying for the marriage extension as I was hoping to return to the UK within days of applying as I need to return ASAP Advice would be most appreciated on this subject Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 1. You will get a under consideration stamp with a report back date 30 days from the date you current permit to stay ends. On that day is when you will get one year extension stamp. 2. You could get a single re-entry permit for a the under consideration period that will be valid for entry up to that day. Then after you get your one year extension stamp you could apply for a multiple re-entry permit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yep. 30 days under consideration. Return on the date they give you. A re entry permit will give you permision to leave but you would have to return by the 30 day limit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonr3255 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks Ubon Joe, just to clarify what you said as I’m still a little confused, you say “30 days from your current permit to stay” do you mean 30days from the application/consideration day ? 30 days from end of entry to Thailand on this particular visit Ie (90) day stay or 30 days from Visa end date which is not until April ?? Am I correct in understanding that an extension of stay can be made 30days before any (90 day stay) before the expiry of the initial Visa Many thanks Sorry to be pedantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the others are a permit to stay (admitted until date on your entry stamp). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after you get your one year extension stamp you could apply for a multiple re-entry permit. An interesting thread to me, as next year when it comes time (in February-2021) for me to apply for my 1st extension of stay (based on marriage on an original type-OA visa), I also want to be out of Thailand for 2 to 3 weeks, so I need to both plan my travel dates and carefully plan the dates in which I visit immigration for my Visa extension. This year I plan to re-enter Thailand on 29-February-2020 (on a type OA that expires in March-2020), so I hope to be given a permission to stay until 28-February-2021. I will in early March-2020 apply for a multiple re-entry on that permission to stay. I have various international travel planned this year (2020). Next year (2021), I want to be away for 2 to 3 weeks in February-2021 (possibly from 3-to-24-Feb-2021, or possibly from 10-Feb to 3-March-2021, all +/- a few days - as my dates are approximate). So next year I may end up needing to apply for the permission to stay Extension on my Type-OA in early February-2021, then immediately apply for a single re-entry stamp on the 'under consideration stamp', followed by immediately leaving Thailand and returning in time for the 30-day report back date. Since I will be flying overseas, I will need to book flights well in advance and have this well planned out. Tidbits such as I am learning in this thread are highly useful to my planning.

Did mine last Thursday Actually it is still a 30 day under consideration period but they started the 30 days from the day your current permit to stay ended. The 60 days includes the 30 days early you applied for your extension. They do it the same way at the office here Ubon and as far as I know all other offices in Isaan.

ancharee Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Can you withdraw anything from your account that would take it below the 400,000 once the under consideration stamp is in your passport ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends upon where you apply at. Many offices are now wanting to see it is still in bank on the day you return for the one year extension stamp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the office. Last week Buriram asked me to show a recent statement of my account when I'll collect my stamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gamini Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Marriage visa is very easy to get now. Much easier than a retirement visa as far as financial requirements are concerned, and I was in and out of immigration in about half an hour. I didn't even have to come back one month later personally, a friend just picked it up for me. Very nice immigration officer visited a house and took a few pictures of us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't think that Immigration issue Marriage Visas. They will issue Extensions of Permision to Stay though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
