sketcher Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have a single entry non imm b ( and a WP) which expires on 26th Feb. I want to get a yearly extension based on marriage but it looks like i will be out of the country from 14th Feb till after the visa expires. Tried at immigration to get the extension but they said come back 10 days before visa expires. But I will have already left. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You can apply for an extension up to 30 days and at some locations even 45 days early. But in case of an extension based upon marriage you will need to come back after 30 days for the extension to be approved. At that time you must be in the country to recieve the extension. You could aply for a 60 day extension and get a re-entry permit. Then once you come back apply for the extension based upo marriage. For the 60 day extension tyou would need to bring along the misses, with her ID-card, household registration book or proof of actual residence, marriage certificate and of course your own passport.

My "retirement" visa needs renewing on or before the 26th April-how soon before this date may I apply-my 800,000 baht savings was deposited on the 23rd January and as it must be seasoned for 3 months so can I assume they will not accept an application before the 23rd April?

Thanks Mario, looks like the immigration officer is just being difficult, good to know there is another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoning is only required for 2 months if this is the very first time you are "renewing your 'retirement' visa" (or, more to the point, seeking an annual extension of stay).

If you mean you already have an extension of stay (not visa) that you are renewing, if you only use the Baht 800,000 in a bank method, it must be in for a full three months. If this is your first extension following a non-imm O-A or non-imm O visa entry and permission to stay, then only two months. BUT if you can get an income verification letter from your embassy for even a small monthly amount (as long as the income and bank deposit add up to the Baht 800,000 for the year), then you can combine the "money in the bank" and "income method." When you combine the two there should be no seasoning requirement for the money in the bank at most immigrations offices (although I think some offices are sticky about that).

You are now late for your report unless the immigration officer changed your report date when you did the extension. Getting an extension does not count as a report unless it is the first one.

Either way you will have to pay a 2000 baht fine for reporting late. I don't think they will accept your story about the slip going missing and would check their computer for when you did your last report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davjensteph Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi Joe,,just to let you know,i went to the hospital and they did an official letter for me to say I had been sick and couldn't attend immigration,when I got to immigration this morning I gave him my passport and when he saw I had missed my report date he said you must pay,,i showed him the letter from hospital and he didn't want to know,he said I should have come earlier,,i said I didn't know I was going to catch dengue fever or I would have,,ha ha...then he said I should have got someone to go for me,i told him I was very sick and didn't think about immigration,,he said must pay 5000 thb,he showed me the fine on a form,,failier to report 5000thb so I knew he wasn't just trying it on...I just kept saying sorry and I didn't know I could send someone to report for me,i told him I had renewed my extention of stay on the 1st dec 2014,,why 90 day not start then?/ I was trying everything,desperation setting in,the office was packed,[jomtien] in the end he said I will help you this time but next time you have to pay,,,YES RESULT,,,i know I am very lucky,first time ever I have got away without paying a thai when they have said 'you must pay'... Anyway happy ending,,,,might have one of those now...ha ha....thanks for your comments joe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Normal fine should have been 2,000 baht. (5,000 is the maximum, the norm is 2,000). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
