Marriage Visa Extension Renewal (One Year)

[tonyPhuket]

Hi,

My marriage visa renewal is rejected even I provide all the accurate copies according to Thai marriage criteria/procedure.

I am amazed by the slightest mistake I made.

I have kept 4,000,000baht in SCB saving account (3-month fixed deposit, 1.85% interest) and I have never touched it over 1 year.

Nearing to my expired visa date, I request a SCB letter to prove that amount as usual immigration procedure.

After I got it, I saw the 3.85% interest poster on the wall and I request to move that amount to the new account of 22-month fixed deposit, 3.85% interest.

Next day Immigration officer rejects my visa application because the amount is moved to the new account even I never touch it.

Therefore I suggest the amount should stay in the same account until the expired date is completed for your own sake.

I am going to spend in Singapore & to have good time while obtaining 3-month visa via Thai consular.

Just buy a non immigrant O for 90 days to visit your wife from immigration, 1,900bht

Then apply for marriage extension again.

That is not possible.

He can get a 60 day extension from Immigration though.

Thanks tonyPhuket for this detail to keep in mind. It appears that the history of the account has no meaning.

TommoPhysicist and Lite Beer - So even though his marriage visa renewal was denied he could have simply handed over B1900 and received a 60 day extension and thus not have to leave the country? Also why only 60 days and not 90 days? I was inder the impression that the B1900 covered 90 days. Is this another technicality?

Thanks,

Length of purchased extension depends on the reason for extension, cost is always 1,900bht.

Dunno why but TiT.

Every extension will cost 1,900 Baht.

7 days, 60 days, 90 days or 12 months. Makes no difference.

Hi,

Re: 90-day 'O' immigration visa, 100 sg dollars

Thanks for your supporting comments.

Here is my outcome from Thai Embassy in Singapore.

I request a 90-day 'O' immigration visa at there without knowing what requirement (and not even form).

The lady explains me what papers I need to show as below:

a) A letter of Thai spouse to confirm I am her husband.

Copy of a passport

c) Copy of Thai ID of Thai spouse.

d) Copy of Thai passport of Thai spouse if she is presence in Singapore.

e) Residence book (Optional)

f) A proof of 400,000B or 200,000B (not sure if this is mandatory because the lady seems to compromise that).

g) A form - no form is found at Thai embassy so I manage to get it from http://www.thaiembassy.sg/sites/default/files/appication_form_visa.pdf. The form is little confusing but best to put everything in it as much as possible. This will make a lady happily enough.

h) A presence of Thai spouse (Recommended but not mandatory).

As the result of that, I got the visa next day without a problem.

In order to obtain a one-year marriage visa, the same procedure for local immigrant office will be used as usual (not the same as above). Be sure 400,000B stay at the SAME Thai account over 3 months just before a 90-day visa will be expired.

Lots of patience will finally reward at the end. ;-)

I would welcome any comments if you have experienced any peculiar rejections. Hence we can all learn to prevent that happening.

Extension of stay only requires 400k to be in account 2 months (not 3). And that is clearly stated in Police Order 777/2551 so there should not be any doubt about it.

(6) In case of marriage with a Thai lady, the husband who is an

alien must have an average annual income of not less than

40,000 baht per month or a money deposit in a local Thai bank

of not less than 400,000 baht for the past 2 months for expenses

within a year.

Will re-verify that with my local immigrant office. Thanks.
