Family extension of stay

[egg]

Hi ,, can l ask a question along a similar line ,,, l am coming up for my first renewal of a 12 month visa (married to a Thai wife )income of 40,000PM is Ok as is 400,000 in the bank ,,, what l want to know is do l have to go to Vienteine to get another non-imm o visa or do l just report to Nong Khai immigration on or before expiry date ?? ,,, sorry if it is a dumb question ,, but hey ,,,l am not known for my brains nor my beauty ,,, thanks for any help

We were talking about 90 day address reports. You want a one year extension of stay from Immigration or another multi entry non immigrant O visa from a Consulate (which requires 90 day border runs)? You say renewal so do you actually have a one year immigration extension of stay? If so you do as you did last year and this should be done with 3-4 week remaining. You are not likely to receive a multi entry visa in Vientiane I suspect. And bank deposit of 400k is not allowed by immigration for extensions of stay. If you have the 40k family income and letter from your Embassy you should present yourselves at Immigration 3-4 weeks before expiration of permitted stay (although they will normally allow it later) with the shopping basket of documents required.

As a fist time extension applicant you have to show 40K income (for you 400K in the bank does not count) by you and your wife in form of tax papers or in form of an Embassy Income Letter. Besides that you have to show your wife, her ID card, her home register, your passport, your arrival card, the marriage certificate and copies of all. Plus photos at home showing you are living together and house number and they also like to see a Thai account passbook and copies along with a bank letter matching of current account. With all that you go to Nong Khai Immigration.

thanks for that gzu88bv,,,all the paper work is in order ( the same as when l first applied ) except for the photo's but l'm working on that now ,,, this is my second extension, so no need to leave LOS ??

No need to leave. And if you ever want to leave you need to buy a re-entry permit first to keep your extension alive.

sorry lopburi3 ,, l missed your first thread ,,, l will get the hang of this one day ,,,, just to make things a bit clearer ,,,, last year l got a non-imm-o visa ,,, with that and all the paper work (and my wife ) l proceeded to Nong Khai immigration and was granted a 12 month stay ,, reporting every 3 months ,, this expires on the 17/11/2007 ,,,,,,,, l think l have it right that all l do now is front up to immigration with the same paper work and go through the application process again ,, with no need to leave LOS ,,,,

thanks very much for your replies ,,,, cheers

just a quickie ,,, last year they wanted to see a bank statement and a passbook showing 400,000 baht in the bank for 3 months plus the income statement of 40,000 Pm ,,,, maybe just them being different ,,,,,,,,,,

Cheers and thanks

The requirement is 400,000 baht in a bank in Thailand Egg, OR 40,000 baht per month income or a comination of savings / income. That is the full extent of the financial requirements for extensions od stay.
