jimmiejackson Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi all, This is for my friend. He is currently on an extension of stay based on Business (from an entry on a Non Imm B Visa). This will expire soon. He is very soon getting married and will get his extensions of stay based on Marriage from now on. What's the process here? Does he need to leave the country to get a Non Imm O (Marriage) and then extend at CW or can he do it all in Bangkok? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 No need for a different visa. Just change reason for extension of stay to marriage and have all the required documents for it. If he has income of 40k baht he can use it by showing tax payments and his work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ubonjoe, so just go to CW at some point in the last 30 days of his extension of stay with all the relevant paperwork at the 400,000K in the bank (he will use this option) and it's all good?

Silurian Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I did this last year and there was no issue. Just make sure you do have the correct documents. Also, note when you change the visa extension type, the visa expiration date will change to starting from the date that your extension is approved. So you might want to do it closer to the end of the visa extension to not lose too many days. I lost about 4 days when I converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will start from the current permit to stay date.Not sure what you actually did since you wrote conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I was initially on a non-B, when I married I just applied for extension of stay based on marriage. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
