2 Visa O extensions.. what to do if marriage

[LOG54]

Hello,

A farang couple residing here for years on O visa extension.. so each one with 800.000 bahts on account... If getting married, what to do ? Still 800.000 per person on separate accounts, or ?

Thanks a lot and have a great evening

No.

She can piggyback on his retirement extensions as dependent.

However she will need to exit Thailand and obtain a non O.

Which immigration office?

Hello and thank you

Jomtien... Both are here on O extensions, each with personal bank account + 800K, each with pensions and incomes abroad.... The idea would be if possible to reduce the amount of money blocked here for obvious reasons and open a joined account with 800 K (don't know what the amount is for married couple)

Thanks for advice

A joint bank account won't work for her to piggyback his extension based on retirement. 

He would need to continue with 800/400/800k for extensions based on retirement. 

They could continue with both on extensions based on retirement.

Easy option but ties up lot of dosh

Chat with your immigration office
