'o' Visa Extension And Tax Question

[wombatsoup]

My O visa based on support of Thai wife is up for extension this week.Wife has business in her name with registration papers etc but has only been registered 2 months.We have proof of over 40,000 each month in bank account ,prior to and after business registration.However,as tax is paid every 6 months,is there need to provide the Por Ngor Dor considering the business has only been operating 2-3 months.Accountant seems to think no Por Ngor Dor is fine?

I'd like some definitive asnwers to this one as I'll likely be up for this next year.

In this case, evidence of income must be in the form of tax receipts for the wife’s personal income. If the business is a sole proprietorship, the business’s taxable income counts as the wife’s personal income and the business’s tax receipts are valid as evidence. If it takes six months to get the first tax receipt, then this is the period to wait before making the application for extension of stay.

Theoretically, immigration can ask for evidence of minimum 40k average monthly family income based on a year but so far there has been no report by members that this has been requested for the wife’s income.

Thankd for clearing that up.What i will now do is pay tax on the 40,000 income for 6 months prior to registering the sole proprietorship then present Por ngor Dor at immigration.Am I correct in saying I need to take Por Ngor Dor forms 1 and 91 along with me showing I have, in fact, paid tax?
