cliveshep Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The reason is that it is possible that money needed to put back money spent from my 400,000 baht fund due to emergencies earlier this year might not come in time to top the fund back up the necessary 2 months before my normal application date of 4 weeks before extension expiry. So the money might arrive late giving 2 months in the bank ending only 1 weeks before the previous extension of stay expires. Relevant dates could be as late as 25th January 400,000 in my bank with an extension of stay expiring 5th April, the 2 months maturation ending only 12 days before expiry of the previous extension of stay.

Popular Post Denim Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 I have done it only 1 day before old one expired due to circumstances. Luckily my local immigration office is never crowded and has very helpful staff so it was ok. However , they did warn me not to cut it so fine the next time. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted December 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2023 OP, if you for some reason cannot satisfy financials prior to expiry, you could obtain 60 extension to visit wife provided you have not used that already. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem in that sense, I can satisfy financials but guaranteed 2 month date is only 12 days BEFORE extension expiry. But others have said I'm ok if it becomes necessary to apply 12 days before rather than my usual month so that's my answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15 days + remaining on permission of stay is to apply for non O from visa exempt or tourist visa entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Should be no problem 12days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleandGrumpy Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Go in and see an IO in your locall Office - with the Thai wife. The IO will advise and give you the options available. Often they will an exemption to just about any rule, if they are nice and you and the wife ask them nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The op will have no problems at all. It is perfectly normal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long time reliable expert @Lite Beer has already stated, no problem. I've done my extension on the date of expiry (Due to unforeseen circumstances) in the past. Just make sure all your docs are in order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that is 2 full calender months , not 15th of one month to 15th of month after next. At least , that is the requirement at my immigration office.

Hopefully then Chang Wattana take a 15th to 15th 2 months later because if it is calendar months there would only be a couple of days and if the money doesn't arrive by 1st Jan as in fact it should that will be the scenario.

I mentioned this as it was the unforeseen circumstance I mentioned. I counted the 2 months using dates. My immigration office wanted 2 full calender months which left me with just 1 day in hand as my permission to stay expired on November 2nd. But this is Thailand so a different office might not want this requirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
