engrin Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 My fiance is about to open an e-commerce business. I was wondering if she was to make a certain amount and pay taxes on that income, would I be able to get a Non O + 1 year extension based on her income ie she supports me?

ubonjoe Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Your wife's income cannot be used to meet the 40k requirement to get an extension of stay based upon marriage. If she was to save 400k baht and put it in an account in your name only you could use that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 would I be able to get a Non O + 1 year extension based on her income ie she supports me? For some reason they closed that door a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 As said, she can put 400,000 in your bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 And that would also only be possible once you are married. There is no visa for unmarried couples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliottm Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 would I be able to get a Non O + 1 year extension based on her income ie she supports me? For some reason they closed that door a few years ago. Immigration consider it appropriate that the husband is seen to be supporting himself while in Thailand. Surprising that the same requirement is not applied to foreign wives with Thai husbands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliottm Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 As said, she can put 400,000 in your bank account. As said on TV, Immigration are within their rights to ask for proof the funds on your account were transferred from abroad (free funds' transfer form from your bank). You are not allowed to receive any income/funds within Thailand on a Non O extended for family reasons (ie Thai spouse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a work permit and work with a non-o visa or extension of stay based upon marriage and show tax payments to prove the 40k income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smotherb Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Couldn't the Thai woman employ the farang man in her e-commerce business and get him a work permit? Edited November 7, 2014 by smotherb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asking in future tense about the extension based about marriage. He mentioned nothing about being 50 for over so why the mention of 800k baht.

mango66 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 And that would also only be possible once you are married. There is no visa for unmarried couples. work hard, and in 9 months you are a father, and you can get your dependant discount to 400.000,- as father of a Thai child; That you can even keep, if your wife dissapears; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(6) In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year.

Is this correct? For an extension of stay based upon retirement only income from abroad is acceptable. For one based upon marriage you can work here and use tax receipts for the proof of 40K baht income. For either one there is no requirement to prove the money in the bank came from abroad.
