kudroz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 In case of the applicant who is married to a Thai wife, one of them or both of them need to have the total annual income that is averaged out not less than 40,000 Baht per month. Except for the case that the said foreign national has entered Thailand before this Order is enforced and the foreign national has been permitted to stay in the Kingdom by the result of having married to a Thai wife, then if the applicant does not have the said income, then, the latest 3 months records of the account book of any Bank in Thailand with the account name of either or both parties need to have the amount of money not less than 400,000 Baht. Does this means that if someone hasn't extended his Non-Immigrant Visa on the base of being married to a Thai national - he needs to either have a yearly income averaged to 40,000 THB or needs to have maintained a bank balance of more than 400,000 THB 3 months prior the application for the extension? I'm confused about the part in bold. Does this apply to someone who hasn't extended his Non-Immigrant Visa before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmond Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 For your case, it means you have only once choice. ie: the 40k per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wca01 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Case: Working in Thailand for the last 14 years on a B visa. Married since 4 years and changed by that time to a non-O. Until now extension of stay permitted based on the salary. After retirement, what rule will apply? Income 40,000 per month or 400,000 in the bank. Thanks WCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Believe you are using the support Thai wife for last four years so you would be grandfathered and able to use the 400k/40k as now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
