glen1 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hi, Ive had an extension based on retirement (0-A from Oz originally) for last ten years. After cancelling the embassy letter the last year I used the 65000 baht monthly deposit method. My visa expires early Feb 2020. Can I change to marriage extension on that basis without putting in the 400000 for two months before? Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbone Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 a verifiable 40k transfer a month should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HampiK Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Yes, you can do the Income route and put 40'000 Baht mininum instead of the 65K for retirement as monthly deposit. Edited October 21, 2019 by HampiK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momofarang Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Be aware that you may be requested to show a health insurance since your extension will be based on a non OA. I am in a similar situation and have been recommended to be prepared if this happens to let my OA lapse and have a trip to KL or HCMC to get a brand new Non O.

I am sure your OA visa expired some time ago. You would be leaving without a re-entry permit for you current extension of stay. But I am certain you will not need to worry about that since IMO the info is false about the extensions of a OA visa entry needing insurance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you reduce the amount of your transfers to below 65k baht for the next few months to avoid immigration pusing you do the extension based upon retirement (it is not a visa). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I said "MAY be needed", can anyone state that it "WILL NOT be needed"? And where would the scaremongering be anyway, a trip to KL or HCMC wouldn't be too devastating, would it? <removed> Edited October 21, 2019 by ubonjoe baiting remark removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to just wait while the offices begin to sing from the same song-sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
