Mick501 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Currently on one year extension of stay on a Non O visa. Due to expire in September. I complied with the requirement to keep 800k in the bank for three months after, and then started using those funds towards living expenses. Kept above the 400k minimum as required. cant remember if it is 2 months or 3 months before the next extension when it needs to be topped back up to 800k. Advice appreciated thanks.

Popular Post Peter Denis Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Two months before your application for the 1-year permission to stay you need to to top up again from at least 400K to at least 800K. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as per usual in Thailand even after the changes to money in bank requirements, there were couple imm offices that were still requiring 3 month within last year. Hope they have come up to speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read numerous posts in past of certain imm office asking (wrongly) for 3 months. Anyway move on. As usually I always suggest person check with their imm office. Jomtien for example require people report back with bankbook 3 month post money in bank method. Think couple others same. (Realize different issue). No other offices require that. Point is Typing "nationwide" about anything is a joke. Edited April 10, 2020 by DrJack54 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is every office (or even every individual IO in a single office) will use a different set of rules...the new law is 2 months but trying to convince some IO of that is futile 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyAndyAndy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Did something change? Or are you talking about different visa? For "marriage extension visa" I always needed 400k in bank, not 800k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are sure that you are correct (like in this case > 2 months before application) the recommended approach is to request politely but firmly to talk to the officer in charge. When the lower officer you are dealing with refuses to let you plead your case at the officer in charge, you then take out a note-pad and start writing his name (that will for sure get his/her attention) and then take your mobile phone and start calling the IO helpdesk 1178. He/she will ask what you are doing and you simply say that you are filing a complaint for not following the rules, chances are high they will tell you wait a moment and get the officer in charge. Never lose your cool, but stay polite and firm. Obviously if also the higher ranking officer refuses to comply with what the written PoliceOrder IO rules/regulations prescribe, then it is indeed futile to insist. Contrary to what you might think, you will not be ostriched next time but you will have actually gained their respect (when you stayed polite and kept your cool). Note: Bringing copies (english and thai language) of the PoliceOrder IO rules/regulations will be helpful when you suspect your case will be challenged. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is the source of the confusion. I did mine 3 weeks ago at Chang Wattana and 2 months before application was accepted. Account must remain above B800,000 for 3 months after extension validity date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
