creative1000 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 So I have the funds in a Thai Bank now, but they won't be aged 4-months in time for the Non-O application. Is this something a visa agent could help with? I'm trying to avoid border hopping if possible, as the Thai wife is pregnant. Thanks in advance.

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) A non O marriage requires 400k in Thai bank in your name an day of application. The 12 month extension would require money in bank for 2 months on day of application and maintain in bank for the under consideration period Edited June 30, 2022 by DrJack54 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative1000 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 @DrJack54 ah ok! So if I switch to Non-O in mid August, that will give me another 90-days. The funds will have aged 4 months by then, just in time to file for the extension before 90-days are up. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 30 days of that permit with money having been in account for 2 months then apply for 12 month extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 OP, be aware that if married to a Thai national you can obtain 60 day extension to visit wife, if more time required 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 you mention extension in your opening post, what entry stamp do you have, non imm O visa, visa exempt, tourist visa. money for yearly extension for marriage only has to be in an account in your name only for 2 months.

creative1000 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 @DrJack54 oh wow, I didn't know about the extra 60-days extension based on marriage. Thats excellent. 5 months of Non-o is more than enough time to sort out the loose ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative1000 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 @steve187 Thanks for updating my knowledge about that. I was confusing the # of months with the BOI-Smart Visa Bank Account requirements (which is also my current visa which didn't get renewed unfortunately). Only 2 months will make things even easier.

If you are currently still on the BOI Smart Visa, then you are on a Non Immigrant entry. You do not apply for the 90-day on O visa. You go direct to extensions. If you have 400k baht already in a Thai bank account for two months, apply for a one-year extension. If not, apply for the 60-day extension to visit your wife (recognising that you will not have the option of doing so again, and it is a useful option to have in reserve for possible future emergencies). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative1000 Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 @BritTim wow, I didn't even realize that route was an option! That will make things even easier. I had wrongly assumed I must close out the old visa completely, to begin the new Non-O visa process. Thank you for sharing that update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
