Bpraim1 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Proof of funds X2 ( letter from embassy stating pension, book banks every page........)40k month or 400k What do u mean? Letter from the embassy for 400k? These are my savings. What can my embassy tell about my savings? As you can see it says stating pension! ( letter from embassy stating pension, bank books, ........ meaning whatever else you have to show funds) 40k month or 400k year at the extension fund requiments. But maybe this can make it clearer for you! Sorry, Letter from embassy stating pension amount, I have a pension , That I need to get verified at the embassy as I do not keep 400k in the bank, and I do not keep a rolling Balance of 40k, So proof of income funds needs to be verified in a letter from my embassy. If you are on a pension or some sort of structured income, were you don't keep funds in Thai banks, you will also need this!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunus Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Sorry. I am not a native English speaker. So if my 400k is in my Thai bank I don't need a letter from my embassy. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpraim1 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yes, correct! Only if you don't have enough funds in a Thai bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatcharanan Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I thought that was always the requirement. Depends on the local Imm office I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Can't see anything new in the list, other than that they want the photos 3 times instead of two times. I will adjust the topic discription to make clear this topic is about Sri Saket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubby Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yes, It does seem to go on and on. The Family photo nearly caught me out. Luckily I had the Kids with me. When I was asked to draw a map with directions from Immigration office to my home , I made an attempt , its 80 kms or so. he then handed me a ruler as though he wanted it to scale. I did laugh a little and it didn't go down well with the Lady overseer. She managed to find a discrepancy with my paper work and sent me on a wild goose chase. I'll try to have a map prepared for next time. The mind boggles why my address isn't sufficient. No doubt there will be new rules for next year.

lopburi3 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The mind boggles why my address isn't sufficient. Actually if you have ever tried to find an address without knowing landmarks you probably would not be asking. The normal system is land plot numbers (which are from date of registration and not in relations to other plots) and sub plots from them (8/103 next to 34/44 and such). The postman's job is not an easy one here. Things are changing - in my part of Bangkok this month we have received new address which removes moobans and land plot numbers and provides house number/sub soi/soi or road/district type address. Am not about to be the first to use however and have not seen any new numbers in our village (so pity the postman who now must depend on knowing everyones name to get it right).

jubby Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Just last week everyone in the village was ordered to have a sign by the gate showing the address. We've had one for years so progress indeed. They are unlikely to find my Village using the map I drew so my mind still boggles. Come to think of it , it Boggles a lot these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenr Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello in regards to a copy of your marrigage certificate , does it need to transalated into thai language ( mine is Australian). 2. we were married in Australia and have a marrigage certificate, we then were also married the traditional thai buddihst way, can (or is there any point) to registering the thai traditional buddihst wedding or can we register the Australian marriage at the local Amphur and is there any advantage for purposes of a visa many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 What will require Thai is registration of the marriage at the District Office. Immigration now wants that ledger document as well as marriage certification of those obtaining extension of stay for spouse. Believe procedure is have notorized by your Embassy, translate and have registered with MFA, then take to a District Office to enter into there books. Obtain the ledger entry copy and use that for Immigration along with the marriage certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryofthailand Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Don't get confused as the OP is stating extension of non O visa. He is getting an extension based on support of a Thai wife, not a retirement extension. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydiver77 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Can't see anything new in the list, other than that they want the photos 3 times instead of two times. I will adjust the topic discription to make clear this topic is about Sri Saket. Chang Wattana now require 6 photo's. You and your wife should be in all of them. 2. Standing in front of residence. [different angles] and showing address no. 3. In living room / dining / kitchen etc. 1. In main bed room, sitting on bed. [open wardrobe no longer required] Marital relationship demonstration not required....[yet!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshbags Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Just last week everyone in the village was ordered to have a sign by the gate showing the address. We've had one for years so progress indeed. They are unlikely to find my Village using the map I drew so my mind still boggles. Come to think of it , it Boggles a lot these days The last time I did this before changing to retirement 800k I also gave them my telephone number to enable them to call it when they were coming and also for verbal assistance to compliment the map should it be needed ????? As Lopburi posted a short while ago, the house number is in fact the land plot reference, hence the non sequence of many Soi house numbers. marshbags P.S. I,d recommend anyone who can afford it to go the 800k way, it has saved me loads of time since changing and I do not have to take my wife with me. ( also cuts documentation requirements down to a minimum ) Edited January 3, 2010 by marshbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
