Extension - Or New Non Imm 'o' ?

[AlarmGuy]

Over the years I have had many non imm 'O' visas issued from Hull in the UK and from Brisbane in Oz. I am British, married to a Thai and my last visa was issued from Hull in June 2007. There was no requirement to provide financial information.

I arrived in Thailand last June, I have done 3 border runs and now it is time to decide what to do next. I'd like to apply for a 1 year extension. If I do - will I have to show Bt400K per month income ?

If I leave the country and apply for a new non imm 'O' - will I then have to provide financial information ?

Thanks in Advance.

The extension of stay requirement is 40k per month family income - can be wife/husband or both combined.

There is normally no financial requirement for visa issue but for multi entry in the local area there may be (Singapore is 400k in a bank account somewhere).

Thanks lopburi3 - your help on this forum is invaluable ;-)

I will read other posts to gain a better understanding of the extension of stay based on 40K income.

If it is your income you will need a letter from your embassy as proof.

If it is your Wifes income she will need evidence of Tax payments on the income.

Also you will need.

Marriage Certificate

Your passport

Wifes ID card

Wifes house registration

Probably a bank passbook

A map to your house

Photos of you and your Wife inside and outside your house showing the address plate

Your Wife must go and be interviewed (grilled)

Passport size photo

1,900 Baht fee.

This form filled in .. Do about 3 weeks before your Visa expires. Probably 2 coppies of everything.
