Dear Fellow Asean Now Posters,

 

Does the Department of Immigration accept for R-E-N-E-W-A-L of Extension -- on basis of Marriage to Thai national -- on Non-Immigrant Visa_Type "O" the Monthly Income requirement being satisfied by ;

 

"combined" Income of "Alien + their Thai Spouse" ?

 

 

Alien spouse continues over a number of years to be employee with work-permit ;

I gather that this spouse's monthly income from that job is less than required monthly income of THB 40,000.

 

Thanking yee in advance for your earliest helpful replies.

 

Regards,

No combinations for married extensions, either 400,000thb in bank for 2 months before application or 40,000thb month income

The 40k baht can only be the aliens husbands.

From clause 2.18 of immigration order 327/2557 for extensions of stay.

 

"(6) In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year."

Salary or bank deposit in Husbands name only.

Many thanks to above posters for answers with conviction that are convincing ;

Ubonjoe's answer with relevant reference especially.

 

I will relay the unfortunate fact to my friend.

 

Here is guessing that this thread will be closed soon against further replies.

Your the OP.

You can ask one of the mods to close thread if you wish. 

Thank u DrJack54 for improving my forum-use knowledge.

 

Yip, given the authoritative fact supplied by Ubonjoe,- I hereby request that any of the mods close this thread.

 

And so some poster somewhere saying applicant can be successful in submitting "combo. of alien-spouse's monthly-income + Thai wife's monthly-income" as fulfilling the monthly-income requirement for extension of stay on basis of marriage was wrong.

 

I very much like the editing of my original title.

Nonetheless,- perhaps, for sake of www researchers on this thread's topic, & perhaps the Asean Now archives,- the mods might re-incorporate, with phrasing as they determine apt, into the title that this thread is essentially querying if "combo. of spouses'' incomes are permissible ?
