40k Marriage Visa Question

[geronimo]

have stopped work and my wife has just started her own business (selling food). I understand how the joint 40k income thing works, however when I go to renew my visa in June, she will not have paid any tax as she only began in February. What if anything, can I do without the tax receipts. Also in the past year I have wired over 350,000 bt from UK to Thailand, will this help at all? Any advice appreciated

I am not sure, but I believe if you go to the office of the revenue department in your amphur they allow you to pay beforehand. It takes about 1 month to send the PND documents to the main branch of the revenue office in your province. Over here they can give you certified true copies of the PND documents. In your local office they probably will only give you a small receipt/slip and maybe a normal copy of the PND documents (this might be sufficient for the immigration officer, or might not).

I would just go to your tax office to ask over there.

Please don't forget that your business needs to be registered.

The money you wired from UK to Thailand doesn't help unless you can prove that money was income (and not just savings).

Goodluck!

Why don't you talk to an immigration officer and see what they have to say.
