KhunLA Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Ed-visa, while 800k is seasoning. Or, put the 800k in the bank, and ask nicely at Imm, and they may just extend you marriage visa (if married) while it is seasoning. Local office did that for me one time, couple years ago, as bank deposits started too late, to show all 12 months. IO asked I I had 400k, and told me deposit in bank, extended my visa for 2 months, and said 'cya in 2 months'. Easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife if you need more time to apply for the 1 year extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to change the reason for your extension to retirement. As I wrote the 800k baht only has to be in the bank for 2 months not 3 months. If you need more time to apply for the one year extension based upon retirement you could apply the 60 day extension to visit your wife mentioned and then near the end of it apply for the extension based upon retirement.

Copy of your marriage certificate. Copies of your wife's ID card and house book registry. Copies of your passport photo page, visa, current extension stamp and TM6 card.

How long have you had the 800k baht in the bank now? When is your extension due in August? You could try to get the 60 day extension without your wife being with you. If you were leave the country and re-enter the country to get a 30 day visa exempt entry you would have to start all over again by applying for a new non-o visa at immigration and then the one year extension.

Agreed. 10,000 baht to the estranged wife for an hour of her time would be a good investment in simplifying matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap ...that was exact figure I had in mind. If that failed I guess the OP could maintain the money in bank requirements for the coming year in order to obtain extension retirement in the future and for next extension coming up use agent.
