2nd Year Extension Of Non O... Documents Needed?

[my benny rai]

Thank you so much all who have answered in the past. I will soon go for my second full year extension on my Non Immigrant O Visa.

1. Can I use all the old pictures of house, etc. I used before or do I have to take new ones? Do I even need pics the second time around (apart from my pic for the application form)?

2. I do not yet have my work permit from my present employer but my wife makes enough money to satisfy the requirements. Therefore, do I still need a letter of guarantee from my employer or should I just keep mum about starting a new job and hope they don't ask?

3. Do I need to go through the whole process of retranslating my foreign marriage cert and sending it to Foreign Affairs like it says in #12 below or do I just give them the document I was given at the district office when we registered our marriage after we showed them our translated/stamped by Foreign Affairs sheet?

4. Is the list given by Sunbelt below up to date or do I need less / more stuff? I think this list may be just for the first time of extending an Non O on the basis of marriage.

You will need your wife to go with you and the following:

1. Copy of Household Registration of Thai Wife.

2. Copy of Identification Card of Thai Wife.

3. Copy of Marriage Certificate

4. Statement of guarantee of pension income from your Embassy that you have an income of at least Baht 40,000 per month or letter of guarantee from a foreign employer, that you are a employee, salary, position, years worked or proof of this Thai income by you or your wife with the last three months of Phor Ngor Dor.1 (Personal Income tax form filed on a monthly basis) and Phor Ngor Dor.91 ( Filed on a yearly basis in March)

5.Copy of birth certificates of children. (if any)

6.Photo of place of residence. (show house’s number)

7.Map and telephone’s number of place of residence.

8.If working, a letter of guarantee from your employer. A copy of work permit as well if working in Thailand.

9. Photos of your wife clothes and your clothes in the same closet, picture of your wife and you sitting on a living room sofa and pictures of the wedding. (This is not required if you have a birth certificate of children together.)

10. Application form TM 7 with 2x2 inch square photo’s attached.

11. A valid passport

12.If married overseas, the marriage certificate must be certified at the local Embassy of the country where the marriage took place, and it must be translated and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This must then by certified by the District Office where the Thai spouse has their household registration.

13. If granted the extension of stay prior to 1st Oct 2006, the applicant can use the option of 400,000 Baht in the bank.

14. In the case of the foreigner who has entered Thailand and has been granted to stay temporarily before Oct 1st 2006, they may be eligible for an exemption to the new rule of 40K income per month but this is only on a case by case basis.

1. Photos used to be first time only and would assume that still to be true.

2. Don't see any need for that as basis of extension will be your wifes income. In any case you don't have it yet and if asked can tell them.

3. I used local marriage so not aware how foreign is treated but would assume a copy after the first time should be acceptable.

4. The list appears to be up to date to me as it reflects current 606 order.

Hopefully someone who has just done the process under the same conditions can advise.
