Mario2008 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 You can try to get an extension of stay based on your marriage at immigration. Being married to a Thai national you must show 400,000 baht in a bank account in Thailand for at least 2 months when you apply. The money must be in an account in your name only.

ubonjoe Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 You should be able to change your extension from education to one based upon marriage without a problem. The police order only requires a non immigrant visa entry. But some immigration offices wrongly consider the ED visa entry as not applicable for any extension other than education.

darrendsd Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 If you want to carry on with your ED Visa then that is no problem, there is no need to change if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotsak Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) From personal experience, if you are on ED extension, you will also need a letter from the school stating that you have concluded (or dropped out from) your studies. This is needed in order to close your ED extension file. Edited May 26, 2013 by kotsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Most immigration offices allow fixed deposit accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotsak Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I have been using fixed desposit accounts for my extension at Chaeng Wattana for two years now. No issues..Just don't forget the extra letter from your bank branch confirming the amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The issue comes when it is not a cash deposit account - banks often offer funds accounts as if they were cash. Unless you can withdraw the full amount in cash on demand it will not normally be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
