Renewal of Non o 400,000 question

[jimbob333]

Hi all, just a question regarding the 400,000 savings in Bank for a renewal of a 1 year Non-O married to a Thai.

My visa expires on the 19th August 2015,this was my first non-o visa

Last year i had to put 400,000 into my K bank for 3 months,but need some advice about when to apply for my renewal.

On the 2nd May I put 400,000 into my bank (so 3 months will be the 2nd of August)

But by mistake I paid for something on my visa card on the same day for the value of 10,000 baht,didn't realise my mistake until the 10th of May which I topped my 390,000 to the required 400,000.

So my question is how strict are they on the 3 months and what date can I be looking to renew?

Thanks again guys

They are very strict, but the good news is that the money in the bank must only be seasoned for 2 months, not 3.

As above

Be aware you are not renewing a "VISA" but rather applying for an "extension of stay based on marriage"

Best to apply for the extension 30 days prior to the current extension of stay expiring.

Has the rule changed from 3 months to 2 or was it always like this?I was told by immigration last year in Bangkok that it was 3 months??

Yes. Very strict on the 2 Months rule.

Always been 2 months although a few years ago some offices did not know this.
