MJCM Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Are you sure that he applied for a Extension of Stay based on Marriage to a Thai Girl and not Retirement ? Retirement has been 800k for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think he was trying to get a multiple entry non-o visa from the embassy or one of the consulates in the UK. There has been a big mess for getting visas in the UK since last year. He was not applying for an extension of stay from immigration here, There have been no changes for the requirements for getting an extension of stay based upon marriage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks UJ Most people here (even when applying for an extension of stay here in Thailand) just use the term "Visa" for everything @robertthesculptor Just tell your friend to get a Tourist Visa in the UK, and after he arrived send him to Savannakhet Laos, where he can get a Multiple Entry Non-O (Based on Marriage) without any Money to show for in his Bank Account.

robertthesculptor Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I will check again. But he has been living in Thailand for many years. But did return to the UK for a break visit recently for family reasons. Sent from my GT-P5200 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
