UK Married couple

Do both husband and wife have to have a separate retirement extension and each have 800000bhat in the bank

[DrJack54]

That's one option.

If wife can obtain a Non O (dependant) prior to entering Thailand she could piggyback on husbands extensions from his Non O based on retirement as his dependant.

She is already in Thailand on her own retirement extension but having problems getting 1600000bhat in the bank for both of them

Does not have to be wife piggyback on husbands extensions (retirement) 

Can be other way around.

Where is husband currently.

Fall back option is for him to use agent.

Where in Thailand will they be based.

Need to be clear.,

Seems that they both used an agent to obtain Non O (retirement) and subsequent 12 month extensions.

You cannot just magically switch from agent extensions to DIY. 

You need to be very clear. 

 

BTW: It is not "their extension" 

It is two completely separate Non O + extension. 

What did it cost to be clear 60k ? 

Did you use a Hua Hin agent

It cost 50000 baht and they used an agent in Hua Hin

As I mentioned. You can't just switch to extension DYI.

Immigration check financial requirements retrospectively.

They cannot show compliance for previous 12 months.

Suggest they continue with agent.

Guessing first gig was Non O + extension.

Next time it would be extensions only.

Cheaper.

I think they have to accept using an agent for this extension but was hoping to get the financial side sorted so they can do there own extension in 2026

If they now put 65000naht in the bank could they piggy back next year

No.

Read what I post at start re "piggyback".

Also UK embassy does not provide income letter.

They would both need to show 12 months of 65k per month.

They need to start over.

What is total monthly  budget in Thailand? 

Don't wish to sound rude however poor planning.

Thank you for your help I think that they will have to carry on using an agent
