my benny rai Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I advised my friend that he could change his 30 day stamp to a Non Immigrant O with proof of 40,000 income per month for the last three months. However, the third floor wanted to see 400,000 baht in his bank account. Have they still not changed to the new rules? I thought they were supposed to change after Nov 15th of last year?

my benny rai Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 They are still using the old rules at last report. Ouch. I feel like a jerk for telling my mate the rules had changed. Any word on when they might get around to using the new rules and not asking for a wad in the bank? Perhaps this could be a way to stop too many people visiting the third floor.

Perhaps this could be a way to stop too many people visiting the third floor. they can just use any rules they want. sometimes 400,000 baht, other times only the 40,000 baht a month and I heard one time in the forum that they required both.

Sunbelt Asia Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 They are still using the old rules at last report. Ouch. I feel like a jerk for telling my mate the rules had changed. Any word on when they might get around to using the new rules and not asking for a wad in the bank? Perhaps this could be a way to stop too many people visiting the third floor. They are still using the same rules while having the discretion of using the new rules for extension of stay. (The third floor is still waiting for the new rules. ) Have your friend go to an embassy and get the 90 day "O" visa. Then the extension of stay can be obtained with 40K income per month. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 so what is it for current holders of a 1-year extension, extending it for another year? 40k+ per month or 400k on the bank? i need to extend in march and was planning on showing around 100k income per month.

lopburi3 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 There has been no change for those in the system. But at some time in the future bank deposits will have to meet the 3 month rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulrahman Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 There has been no change for those in the system. But at some time in the future bank deposits will have to meet the 3 month rule. Last Friday extended my visa for another year;no problem,10 minutes and done,but my wife brought a letter certifying her annual salary,the Imm officer didn't even want to look at it and controlled only my income.Will be a long time before Immigration learn theyr own rules!

lopburi3 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thai income must be proven by tax receipts - not by letters. If she had that and you were short they probably would have been interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she had that and you were short they probably would have been interested. As you perhaps remember she works for the government,believe the tax is withold automatically from her monthly salary.(not sure thogh,TiT) I were not short,of course,but this shouln't be the point,the visa is not for supporting wife" anymore,or am I wrong?

lopburi3 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The reason they would be interested is to provide the 40k total if you were short. As you had the income there was no need to involve hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
