This post should have been on a Thai Forum logically. Here on this forum 80-90% are foreigners in/outside Thailand. 

 

I think its totally a wrong forum to beg for money. interestingly webfact(Admin) has created this post. I hope he is not the beneficiary.

[Proof of Transfer to Thai Bank Account. Is it required]

Hi

 

My Non(O) 1 Year visa extension is due based on Thai Marriage in Bangkok.

 

I have already credited funds in my account for more than 3 Months from local sources due to my investments in local stock market. 

 

Is there any new requirement that funds are to be remitted from another country and proof required as well like Remittance receipts etc,.

 

Thanks

[Exact Rule regarding 400K Baht Deposit for Non(O) Thai Wife visa/extension]

I would like to add something about UK Immigration System: -

 

In 2017, my friend wanted a South African to work in his company  based in London. Immigration never asked any photocopy, only the real documents first time. They scanned and returned back. And every year have to take just few original documents 1 - Passport/  2 - Relevant Company Employment Letter. (with some supporting documents as well)

 

No photocopies., No visits. No extra work. and the process is repeated every year. and on 5th year the worker is eligible for Permanent residence. And in England system is so strong they can track and trace any worker within couple of hours.

 

If Thai Immigration would have been strong enough they would have dealt the situation in a better way. Unfortunately they are just firing their guns by using shoulder of foreigners. Do they think the criminals would be dealt like this way. Unfortunately Never. They have to mobilize their officers to work in field instead of sitting in offices. + collaborating with local/regional police offices. There is no coordination between Immigration DIV 2, Regional Immigration/Police Offices.

 

TM47 and TM30 is just the weak oriented system output of Thailand Immigration. People at the desk cannot speak ENGLISH to understand foreigners. I wonder what changes these guys will bring to the system.

[Exact Rule regarding 400K Baht Deposit for Non(O) Thai Wife visa/extension]

Hello fellow members

 

My date of Non(O) wife based visa extension is due on 01-Dec-19. In all these 06 years I always use to apply for extension a month prior to expiry date. and 02 Months before application submission I use to make sure that 400K Baht is present in my account. So usually they give 01 Month extension and after 01 month have to go again to get rest of 11 months stamps. So it counts to 03 Months of funds in the account. As last time once I went they told me to make sure you don't withdraw funds once you come to get your passport stamped for rest 11 months.

 

My question is, what should be the exact date to put funds in the account if I have to submit application a month prior to Visa expiry date as per immigration Rules.

 

Thankyou.

[TM-30 Rules: Reporting by House Owners regarding foreigners - Update Requested]

Background

I am on Non-O (Thai Wife) visa. Came back to Thailand from Singapore on 08-Jun-19 along with my wife on a week's long holiday trip. 03 months prior to our journey, my wife reported to Immigration on TM-30 form with my details of course as foreigner(myself) residing in the property that is in her name. As we moved to this new property a year back. We had to pay fine for late submission of TM-30.

 

Questions

1. Was she supposed to submit TM-30 form again after coming back from Singapore even though she submitted earlier and the address is the same? 
2. If I visit to another city in Thailand for certain number (Short Period) of days and stay in hotel then every time when we come back my wife has to submit TM-30?  
3. We both are keen cyclist and keep on visiting many cities across Thailand. In that case how TM-30 reporting should be managed? 

 

I would be happy if precise answers with reference shared by respected members.

 

Thanks and Regards

4 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:

There is no requirement that you do the application one month before the date your extension expires. You can do it at any time during the last 30 days of your extension.

 The 400k baht has to be in the bank for at least 2 months on the day you apply for the extension.

Thanks for a quick reply.

 

So that means if my Visa Last Date is 05-Dec-19. I can still apply on the 2nd/3rd Last Date.
