Tulsi joins the party of Common Sense

Hi Folks,

I came into Thailand on a Non Imm "O" Marriage visa and it is due to expire on Oct 1 2011.I am an Indian national and currently reside in Phuket.

Can I get a one month extension on this visa and then after a month apply for a one year extension with the 400000 baht in the bank requirement.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Loki

You can get a 60 day extension and do that. Visit immigration with marriage paperwork/wife/her ID and your passport, TM.7 and 1,900 baht. The 400k in bank will require 2 months in bank so when that is ready and less than 30 days remain you can do again for one year marriage extension of stay.

Many thanks for the response Khun Lopburi. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the information Sir. I was first looking at a temporary extension (that is possible based on Khun Lopburi's response) before going for the 1 year extension as I have just deposited the required amount(400000 baht) a couple of days back and would not be able to apply for 1 year extension as the money in the bank would be less than 2 months.
