I am a Canadian here on a retirement visa. It will expire May 29. My Thai wife is due to have a baby at the beginning of June. Am I able to extend my visa by 3 months, and then is there some kind of O visa I can get without much money in the bank.

I sincerely thank you for any answers

Without meeting the financial requirements for a 12 month extension for retirement or marriage. The best you could probably do is a Multi Entry Non O Visa. Giving you up to 15 months stay but meaning you will have to exit/enter the country every 90 days.

Probably available from KL or Penang. You will need, Marriage Certificate, Copies of Wife's ID Card and House Registration. A letter from you Wife asking them to issue you the Visa is always a good idea. They will want to see a bank book with some money in it. How much is never sure.

A good idea to contact a Visa agent in Penang and ask. Here is one you can contact. http://jimsplace-penang.com/

It is possible to extend your current stay by 60 days to visit your Wife at Immigration 1,900 Baht.

From the Police Order.

2.24 In the case of an alien

visiting a Thai spouse or child:

Permission

will be granted for a period of not more than 60 days at a time

(1) Proof of relationship.

(2) In the case of a spouse, their marital relationship shall be de

jure (legitimate) and de facto.

How is it that you are here on a "retirement visa" when you don't have much money in the bank? What did you plan on doing when your permission to stay expired?

I spent it

Thats why I'm asking

Thanks for clearing that that up for me.

Can I get that 60 day extension at my local immigration office?
