This post maybe helps: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/642693-getting-ready-for-the-1-year-extension-based-on-marriage/

But as a rough guide

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.

Letter from your Thai Bank showing balance and up to date bank book.

OR.

If income from outside Thailand: Letter from your Embassy showing income. Now may also need proof of income as back up.

If Income from Thailand: Statements showing Income Tax reciepts.

Marriage Certificate
Marriage Registry entry.
Wife's Tabbien Baan and ID Card.
Your Passport.
Copies of everything.
Photos of you and your Wife in and around the house.
A map showing the way to your house.
Passport size photos and 1,900 Baht fee.
Take your Wife to be interviewed.
One or two witnesses may be required.

You will be given a 30 day under

Please advice, I deposit in September and this is fixed deposit. Small interest come every month from bank and no other movements on this account. This will be more than 2 month deposit, but no any deposits to this account from abroad. Is this ok for extension? Bangkok. Thanks!

Letters from bank normally only confirm balance on date written. Bank book confirms balance for 2 months. No problem if there are no transactions shown. But they do want an update on bank book on date you apply for extension.

No fund transfers from abroad are required.

Thank you guys for the effort.

I have just one question, before we never had a copy kor ror 2 older then 6 moths. We always used the one we got before.

Many offices want one recently updated. Unless you are certain that your office does not require it I suggest getting one. They are easy to obtain at any Amphoe for a fee of 20 baht.

Please ensure it is stamped officially (Red Thai circle shape - both front and back). That is what my immigration usually check for that.

I have never had them ask for it in all 5 or more previous extensions, but i rather get it and be sure then to miss out.

Just want it to be fast and painless (it usually is unless you got someone on a bad day)

I am doing it at the Nonthaburi immigration, lucky for me that is a 10 (or less) minute drive on the bike for me.

We never had a Kor Ror 2 until immigration asked for one last year (it was the 5th extension). My wife was able to make quick trip to the Amphoe where immigration is located to get one. This year as part of our preparations she went to get a new one and came back with 2 stamped copies for the 20 baht price.

Edit: Last year they asked for a copy my wife's 24 year old divorce certificate. Same this year but I had copies in case they asked again.

Re: Kor Ror 2, I have done 6 Extensions of Stay based on marriage, I only was asked for the Kor Ror 2 last year.

I would agree with ubonjoe's advice; for 20 THB and a quick stop at the amphur, better to have and not need than to need and not have.

[robblok]

Thanks guys.. think i will try to get it should not be too hard.. better safe then sorry.

[robblok]

Ok the wife has called and they did not require this (Nothaburi) we went there today and were done in under half an hour including waiting. Must have been the quickest i have ever seen it was hardly anyone there.

Regarding the "Bank Letter" for the required documents. What do you ask the bank to provide? My wife called the Bangkok Bank branch where I have my account and they seem to be confused. They also stated it takes 2 to 3 days to obtain this letter. This seems different from what other people have encountered. I also tried at a Bangkok Bank branch near my work and they told me to go to my particular branch.

So what do you usually ask for at the bank for this document?

How long does it normally take to obtain?

I am confused.

[robblok]

Kasikorn seems to have a standard form but I usually give them last years copy to be sure. (does not help you much) and then it takes 1 day maybe 2 to get as a manager must sign it.

[ubonjoe]

It is a letter confirming your balance on date written.

Believe me even with a copy of last year they can still be confused about what you want to have. Some people at the branches are not the brightest around so getting it the first time might be hard at times.

[DrTuner]

some office's are now asking for divorce papers for wife ( if she has been married before.)

Lovely. I've been wondering what they'll ask this time, there's always something "missing". I reckon I'll have to take a copy of her former husbands death certificate with us then

Last time it was our son's birth certificate, if you've got kids, copy those.

Went to extend my spousal visa this morning. The first thing I was told was to get my bank letter updated today. They like to see it on the same day as you submit the extension documents. For Bangkok Bank, it is easy. You go down one level to BB and ask for the immigration letter. You should either withdraw or deposit some Baht into your account. The bank teller stated deposit is better (not sure why). It takes about 10 minutes to get the letter and a copy of the bank book updated page. The cost was 100 Baht.

You need to submit the original of the bank letter (you can copy it for your own record if you want) along with the copy of the bank book page(s).

This was my main concern as this was the first time I extended using the bank book option and the first time I did it myself (without lawyers). Work always paid for the lawyers in the past but now my work place is making me pay so I decided to do it myself.
