It would be useful to state which immigration office you use, to potentially receive replies from others who use the same office. As we all know each office tends to have it's "own" rules.

Check with your local office, they all can vary slightly.  Or tell us what office and ask for help from those also using that office.

For the very first application of a 1 year extension of stay based on marriage, you must have been granted a Non Immigrant O type Visa.

The financial requirement are either;

1. FUNDS METHOD. Updated Thai bank Statement/Passbook showing 400K Funds deposited in a Savings or Fixed Term Deposit account in a Thai bank in your sole name, for no less than two months prior to the date of application + bank letter OR

2. INCOME METHOD. A proof of Income letter from your Embassy/Consulate, OR

3. INCOME METHOD. Updated Thai bank Statements/Passbook showing monthly overseas transfers of 40K minimum for the previous 12 months prior to the date of application + bank letter.

4. If using either FUNDS (1) or INCOME (3) in a Thai bank account, then a bank letter addressed to the Immigration Commissioner confirming: Account name, number, and balance issued by the bank is required. The balance on the letter should match the balance in the Passbook/Statement.

 

Applications for an extension of stay based on Thai spouse must be approved by the regional Immigration office, therefore you should supply two matching sets of the documents listed below.

 

 

Documents for an Extension of Stay Permit based on Marriage.

Rented

• Copy of signed owners/landlords Tabien Baan

• If the owner/landlord is registered at a different address in another Tabien Baan, then a copy of that Tabien Baan + copy of Chanute for your address may be requested

Privately owned

• Copy of Wife's Tabien Baan

• Copy of wife's ID card

14. Proof of Funds;

• One of the 3 options detailed at the top of the page

 

2 identical sets of copies of the above documents are required for extensions based on Thai spouse.

 

Additional Notes.

• Both the applicant and wife must attend the application.

• Copies of documents, pages, or photos should be printed singularly on 1 A4 sheet.

• If rented, copies of house owner's Tabien Baan & ID card should be signed by the holder and include their telephone number.

• For the first extension application, Immigration may arrange a home visit where two Thai witnesses must also be present.

• Your application must be approved at regional level. (Under 30 day consideration) requiring a return visit to obtain your extension stamp once approved.

• An updated Khor Ror 2/22 (marriage registration) will be required each year. Available from your local Amphoe on request. (20 baht)

• Statements/Passbooks and bank letter must be dated the same day as the application.

• Certain Immigration offices may allow them to be a few days old.

• Embassy Income letters are valid for 6 months.

• Mark the location of your address on Google Maps with the pin facility, then print it off. Manually write your address in a blank space in English and Thai if possible.

• If using the monthly income method, Immigration may request proof of the source of your Income, such as a letter from your Pension provider, Investments, or shares.

• They may additionally ask for proof of overseas transfers, such as receipts from Wise or your foreign bank.

• Transfers should be made around the same time each month. Irregular transfers may be refused as unacceptable. I recommend you highlight the monthly transfers, as the Immigration officers are less than familiar with reading passbook/statement entries.

• If using funds in the bank, it is advisable not to withdraw any funds until your application has been approved, and you obtain a new permission of stay stamp.

 

The onus is on you to supply any document requested. The above is a comprehensive list, although not every document listed may be requested depending on the Immigration Office.

You require 12 months of transfers of 40k + 

[Liquorice]

For income based applications it must be either a minimum of 12 x 40K monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank account in your sole name, OR, depending on your nationality, an Embassy Income letter.

Otherwise, it's 400K deposited in a Thai bank account in your sole name for 2 months prior to the date of application.

 

If you're a New Zealander as your username suggest, then you can obtain an Embassy Income letter.

[SupermaNZ]

Hua Hin Immigration provide the attached explanatory note regarding documentation required (the attached Note was provided in August 2024).  Note however that we were advised that the witness referred to in Item 13 may not only be required for the first extension but, if you are moving residence from one province to another - also for the first extension in your new province (in our case - Hua Hin).  Note also (see Item 13) that if you have no children, a Thai witness/es may be required for each and every renewal.  In relation to the latter - in practice, others may have had different experiences, and can comment here.

The Kor Ror 2 is the marriage registry. You or your wife can get one at any Amphoe for 20 baht. Some offices want them to be dated within 30 days of application. My wife gets a new one just before we go to apply for the extension."

KR3 is the pretty certificate of marriage - KR2 is the one with the details and my wife always gets one updated from the provincial office on day of visit to IO. At Samut Prakan they usually don't want KR3 but I include copy anyway so I can see them scowl and throw it away! (I also copy EVERY page of passport so they can do the same).

 

NB: Bank letter can be yesterday but bank book MUST have an entry today. And map to house, as many have said previously, MUST be hand-drawn. I have never been asked to supply a witness at the IO but on a house visit (which does not happen every year) they take the name of the condo office manager.

If you don't include these, they may send you away to go get them, to avoid the work.  They likely scowl, because you were prepared. 

 

I had a small piece of luggage with wheels on it, with everything they could possibly request, when I was doing marriage-based extensions.

They will only accept the documentation listed in their orders, namely an Income letter from your Embassy.

The letter from your NZ pension is proof of your pension for the Embassy to issue the Income letter.

 

Don't the NZ Embassy process it online, or must it be in person?

I did mine a few weeks ago at Jomtien and most of the requirements seemed to be as of last year. However, when returning for my visa stamp, they told me to bring my updated bank book, which is something I've never had to do before. No big deal for me, but it does mean an extra trip to the bank.

It is sad Jomtien is still violating the rules with this request.  I know from personal experience how much that office HATES Thai/Farang relationships - are vicious to your wife, and rude/insulting to you. 

 

No where in the order does it say you need to keep 400K in the bank other than 2 months "prior to application."  For a few years, even CW was breaking their own rules, to try to wreck families they don't "approve of" with this stunt; but, thankfully they stopped, per more recent reports.
