Up to date visa advice needed


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I am looking for some advice of Visa options,
There have been changes in the last month or so, so I would
appreciate it if you could answer only if you have actual
up to date information.
I live in UK and have been spending 6 months over winter in Thailand
for the last five years, up to now on a triple entry tourist visa
making two border runs.
These visas were stopped just after I came last year.
Last year while in Thailand I got married, so this year was intending on
getting the Multiple entry '0' married visa, but was told that only
single (90 day) visa were being approved as of about the beginning
of October this year.
So I need another 3 months or so,
I have asked in immigration and was told, for a extension of stay for
1 year, I need, among other things, a Thai bank account with 400K baht 
in for at least 2 months, which i dont have, or proof of earnings of
40k a month, which I do get while in UK, but when I come to apply the
latest earnings will be from three months previous, and im guessing this
will not be acceptable, ??.
Other options ?
I believe it was possible to travel to Thai embassies in Laos, Singapore ?,
to get Visas, but again not sure if recent changes have effected this.
I only need an extra 3 months, so, could i travel somewhere and get another
90 day '0' or maybe a 60 day tourist, then extend 30 days here if this is still allowed, ??
Any other options ?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

No changes in Laos etc, you could get a SETV in the UK and then another in Laos  with no problems

Only the honorary consulates in the UK cannot issue multiple entry visas. The embassy will still do them.

Official Thai consulates are not effected by the change which means the consulates in Savannakhet and Penang can still issue them.

Three months of earning is enough to show if it is will give you annual income of 480k baht (40k X 12) to get the income letter from the UK embassy you would need to apply for an extension of stay based upon marriage at immigration.
