wolf5370 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I think he is getting new visas each time rather than extensions. Op, where did you get refused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) You posted on the wrong forum a mod will move topic soon. It sounds like you applied at hull. If based upon marriage to a Thai you should try Birmingham. Your income would qualify you for an extension based upon marriage.

Op, where did you get refused? i always use Hull, but they have to sent to London to get it authorised. The embassies have now had the facility to pay with card removed by card companies for some reason,so i have now got to post a cheque,they are granting me a multi entry tourist visa instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just get re-entry permits when you need to leave. You could get the Non O from Laos too (or pretty much any neighbouring country given your savings). Extension is still 400k - its just the British Embassy that is using this 800k rubbish (from OA visa rules) Edited November 18, 2013 by wolf5370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyPhuket Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Surely you only need to show 400k in your current account for the past two months? I thought that quote means for local immigration & 400K in your current account without proof for the past two months for Thai embassy (multi entry visa)? Am I right or wrong?

ubonjoe Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) The financial requirements for an extension of stay based upon marriage to a Thai 40k baht income or 400k baht in the bank for 60 days. The London embassy and Hull have been wrongly been stating the financials for a non-o multiple entry visa based upon marriage equal to those needed for retirement. There has been reports of people getting them from Birmingham with no financial proof. Edited November 18, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both myself and friend who I know very well and was with at lunch both obtained married O from Hull without since new rule Do you mean the sum is wrong,my funds are in Oz is this acceptable.but neither of us on different dates were required to provide credentials as evidence. Is it possible they are profiling certain types of applicants.The lack of global transparency is nothing new and I guess the raison d'etre of this forum. Not being able to use visa/mastercard is very fishy,even for Hull ! Hard to imagine a consul would have permission revoked unlike a rogue trader unless more likley rules from HQ Edited November 19, 2013 by RubbaJohnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
