Is financial proof and TM30 required and if one doesn't have these? I've always gone to Savannakhet or Saigon in the past for the visa and border hop every 90 days. I tried to cross into Burma last week to renew and even had a Myanmar visa but they closed the border practically in front of me: no entry allowed. My current 90 day period will be up April 15. Thank you all! Hang in there! Your wife and normal TM.7 extension application and copies of passport and marriage documents/fee. Expect they will want proof of living together such as TM30 report but can normally do at same time I believe (with perhaps a fine for late reporting). No financial proof is required.

These are the requirements at Samui Immigration office for 60 day extension of Non O 3 month single entry. I am waiting for the British Embassy to reply with letter of support. Promised within 2 working days. Yeah! Good luck with that. Samui Imm.pdf Edited March 27, 2020 by Tmoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamboozled Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 According to Tmoney's list, I will need rental contract, copy of household registration of current address, copy ID card of house owner, and copy of registration of house owner (tabbien baan, I guess). I have only the rental contract and not the last 3 items. Actually, I'm not sure what "copy of household registration" is...TM30? And I need the last two items to be able to do the TM30, is that not correct? Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe that is the Tabbian Baan of the house owner if he is not listed on the blue book of rental house. House owner is required to do the TM30 and you should have him do it if immigration requires for extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I am totally confused as well, I don't rent, I (or more accurately my company, I am 49% shareholder) owns the house I live in so I am uncertain as to what SIO will demand to see when I go there.

I'm hoping that will still be possible. Regards (Apologies for distracting from Welshpete's original thread) Why should it be any different from any other extension? Corona Virus or not.

I need to bring my wife with me to immigration? for a 60 day extension? absolutely not! you pay 1,900 baht. don't listen to these guys. Email from Siam legal today. You have 2 options:1. You make a border trip in April to get a new 90-day stamp. If this is not possible, please proceed to option 2.2. You go to your local immigration office and request for a temporary 60-day extension for having Thai wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A statement implies comments regarding same. A good reply from you would be along lines..."did imm inform you what the embassy letter needs to include..." Again over your head. Then followed by unrelated posts. What I got from the OP was that he went to extend a visa, got told that he cannot do without a letter from his embassy that he is currently waiting to arrive. That is not a question, more like a report of his experience. It would be interesting to know if the embassy sends out these letters as that seems to be the case in this instance.

The embassy have promised to send out these letters. As of now I have not received it despite it being promised within 2 working days. This is their (automated) email reply having sent off copies of all required documents: Thank you for your email. This mailbox is for applications for the following consular services: Letter of support for visa extension applications: if you are eligible for this you will receive your letter within 2 working days; ED visa support letter Supporting letter for Thai Nationality application Consular letter relating to the death of a British National in Thailand (funeral directors only). A member of the team will be in touch with you as soon as possible to organise preparation and collection of documents. IMPORTANT NOTICE The British Embassy Bangkok no longer issues letters confirming income. For information on what to do now, please visit our website or contact your nearest Thai Immigration Bureau or Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate. So much for their promise!

Tmoney Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have just received my letter from the Embassy, 30 minutes after first sending me an email saying I did not need one. Anyway they came good and after all and I suppose a 3 day response is pretty good for them considering the number of requests they must be getting.
