Immigrant O Visa Extension

[WebBangkok]

Hi,

I have to extend my imm O visa again.

It expires in March this year, as I am married to a Thai wife, I know i have to show 400K to be in the bank account for 3 months.

So should I put it in the back account now or should I do it just before my visa expires and do the 90 days trick a few days before the visa expires?

Thanks

There is no 90 day 'trick' on extensions of stay. If you are on an extension of stay that ends in March you need to get the money into account now.

You do not extend a visa, you can only apply for a new one. You appear to be talking about extending your permission to stay.

Do you have currently a valid multiple non-O visa? If so, it is up to you what you want. You can apply for the extension of stay in the last 30 days of any permission to stay, doesn't have to be the last one.

ok,

Well Well I just checked my passport and it says may 2011 which is cool, So I cant report on may and get another 90 days and then renew it?

So I will have to apply for a new one in may yes? And have the money in the back account for 3 months before.

Yes I have had a Immi O for 2 years

I don't know, as you don't tell what you have. A valid multiple entry visa or an extension of stay from immigration?

[lopburi3]

Your first post said you were extending again. Now you seem to be talking about a visa entry.

Did you visit immigration inside Thailand last year for a one year extension of stay? Or did you receive a visa from a Consulate outside of Thailand which expires in May and you are making exit/entry every 90 days or less?

[WebBangkok]

Well I dont need to exit the country right now, I just go to the immigration office every 90 days.

I got my Immi ) visa in 2009, got a new/extension in 2010 for 1 year wih 90 day reporting and now will have to do it again.

Its 3 months 400K right or 800K?

You seem to have a 12 month extension of stay.

Yes it is 400,000 in the bank. Some offices accept 2 months but most want 3 months.

[lopburi3]

For Thai wife it is 400k. And you will need the money in account for 3 months before you make your new application in March/May if you currently only do address reports and are extended for having a Thai wife.

What happened to 400K or 40k/month for Thai wife? Did it change again?

What happened to 400K or 40k/month for Thai wife? Did it change again?

No change, it's still 400k in the bank, or a monthly income of 40K for the husband, they were just discussing the bank account method because of the op's question.
