BEngBKK Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Today Immigration told me that because I have lived in Thailand for 5 years I now need to have 400000 Baht in the bank for 3 month instead of 2 Month ??? (I extend based on marrige) Is this a new law or was she just annoyed that I did not offer her tea-money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The requirement is 2 months for every extension. It does not matter if it is the first or fifth extension. Which office was this at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I am only aware of a couple of rogue offices that have wanted it to be 3 months and that was for the 2nd extension onwards. They were applying the same rule as for retirement extensions. The police order clearly states 2 months for every extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngBKK Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I check the english and that police order No 777/2551. It clearly say 2 month.. but until 2008 it was 3 month... Well we can not demand that the immigration officers keep up to date about the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickstart Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I have been using the Lopburi office ,ever since it has been open ,and the money has always been 3 months for 400 000 Baht , last year fist year of retirement extension, 800 000 Baht , 3 months . Before the Lopburi office opened , for 18 months we had to use the Ayutthaya office (is it still open?), and they said 3 months for 400 000 Baht. I did say once at the Lopburi about money being in the bank for 2 months ,they just said 3 months here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEngBKK Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Immigration finally accepted 2 month after a lot of phone calls. They explained that it was a misunderstanding since I went to early to renew my visa... Anyway no-body lose face and I had a happy ending.... (Not that kind of happy ending.... ) Conclusion: The 2 month must be 2 month before you apply. Not 2 month before your visa expire.. So I will just go back a little later....
