September 23, 201115 yr Hi all - I'm on a Non Imm-B 1 year visa and married to a Thai national - could I get a 60 day extension and then apply for another 1 year extension after the 60 days is up? As I understand it I don't need to show 400,000 in the bank to apply for a 60 day extension correct? Cheers
September 23, 201115 yr Yes if you meet the criteria. But be warned that in some regions you will have a problem renewing a Work Permit//getting one issued during the 60 day validity period of this type of extension (Police Order 777/2551 Case 2.24), as some regional Labour Departments do not always accept it as a valid basis for WP issue.

Thanks digitalchromakey - that's good news, you never know how flexible immigration will be with this stuff. Has anyone out there had a problem getting their Work Permit renewed in Chiang Mai city while on one of these 60 day extensions? Any info on this would be a major help - cheers all.
September 24, 201115 yr Why don't you ask those questions at the imm office you'll be using? I'm under the impression that you won't be able to get an extension for a Non B while on the 60 day extension for wife/family. You would, however, be able to get a one year extension for being married to a Thai. That would require either the 400k in the bank for a couple of months, or a 40k monthly income.
September 24, 201115 yr I believe the 60 days is an extension of stay on the current non-B. There should be no problem ingetting a new extension of stay based on employment or Thai family at the end of the 60 days.

Thanks all - yes I'll be asking out at immigration before going ahead certainly - wanted to get some feedback here before doing so.
