JimSiam Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Immigration just threw two new requirements in at Jomtien, they want photos of us with the neighbours and copies of their tabian bahn and id cards to be supplied by us as part of the extension, I guess they dont want to bother coming out to do it themselves.

Soutpeel Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Why would you need this for an extension of a non-imm B, further a Non-imm B is not for being married...its for business or work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you better go read the rules, a Non B visa can be extended under whatever criteria you meet or want to apply under, in my case the easiest is marriage, it also means you only need 1 million baht capitalization. Do you need to see the stamps for me to prove it can be done this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Suggest you read the rules Mr. Jimsiam. a Non Immigrant B is for work, it can be changed to an extension based on Marriage which would be an O, but only the words "Thai wife" are stamped next to the extension. My immigration office want my Tambien Baan and my wifes, they came to visit the first time but never been back since. And if you extend your Non B for marriage it becomes a Non O Extension Edited October 27, 2011 by beano2274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you extend your Non B for marriage it becomes a Non O Extension The visa doesn't change, it is still a non imm B visa, but it gets extended under meeting the criteria for supporting a Thai wife, you can still hold a work permit in this configuration and it can be by having 400k in the bank or a paying tax on 50k per month.

mca Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think you'll find that after the expiry of your original visa ( say 3 months or whatever ) you're then on extensions of stay for whatever reason. It's not a visa. A visa just gains you access to the country. For example, my original non-B " died" in 1995 or thereabouts and I'm now on extensions of stay firstly for work and then marriaqe. It doesn't change to a non-O or whatever when your status changes. I don't have a Thai visa. I have an extension of stay. The only thing that changes if applicable is your reason for the extension of stay. Of course I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much what I said, the visa that the extension of stay was granted to was a Non B, the extn of stay is "Thai Wife", but it just got even more ridiculous that our neighbours have to go to immigration with us along with these pictures with them at the house and the copies of their ID cards and Tabian Bahn. These new requirements were not on the list they handed us when we first went to ask about what was required.

That what the rule says and may apply if you have money coming from an investment into a bank account, but for working immigration require Tax payments on 50k to be shown if you fall in that bracket by the labour department, it will be rejected if you only show tax PND.1 for 40,000 baht.

Mario2008 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you work in Thailand and you are married to a Thai you have two options for an extension of stay:1. based on work and most western antionals need to show an income of at least 50,000 a month. (The income requirement is based on nationality)2. you extend based on being married to a Thai wife and than you need to show an income of 40,000 a month.

This is wrong for Jomtien and was rejected by Jomtien immigration, they stated the Labour department require you to show tax payments for 50,000 baht.

Mario2008 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 There are no official rule for a minimum income for issuence of a work permit. In fact, many people work and stay in Thailand on multiple non-B's because they qualify for a work permit but not for an extension of stay becasue they earn less than 50,000 baht.Not have seenany reports about Chonburi labour that they require a minimum income for a work permit.

JimSiam Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) As a side note, The Thai consulates in France have been instructed not to issue any Multiple entry Non imm B visas, a friend had his rejected and only got a single entry and was told to extend it in Bangkok once he has his work permit, they said this was a new ruling by the MFA as of September 2011.

sbk Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Off topic, unhelpful, pointlessly inflammatory and rather rude post removed, well done, you got a four in one. The Thai visas forum is not a place to troll and flame others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
