Most offices will want to see 12 months of transfers into a Thai Bank from abroad. The rules show 2 months of transfers is enough for the first extension application but most will not accept it.

BOTH? The best thing to do is to show the 400k baht in the bank to do the extension one year extension if it has been in a Thai bank for 2 months. If not then apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife and apply when it has been in the bank for 2 months Start do the transfers of 40k baht now and use it to apply next year.

You will be a third class, non-resident "visitor" for the entire time you are married to your Thai wife and living within Thailand. You'll submit requests annually for permission to "temporarily" reside with your wife and family. You'll be required to report your address every 90 days much like a felon out on parole. There is no path to either permanent residency or citizenship base on your marriage - unlike the US and just about every other country in the world. This is a highly nationalist and xenophobic country and as a foreigner you're not welcome nor wanted. Possibly unless you are independently wealthy. You've been warned. You make a good point. It's something that I have thought about with my girlfriend-taking her back to the US. You're right. I have felt the nationalist and xenophobic side of the country.

No break in employment and income my man. No temporary unpaid furlow due to Covid-19. Due to no fault of your own you could find yourself tossed out. The Sword of Damocles will hang forever suspended by a horse hair over your head. Like most of us. And given the current Covid hysteria, the option of obtaining a multi-entry non-O visa based on marriage is now out of the cards, And if borders do reopen I would not depend on that avenue. Again. Thailand has no compassion for the basic human-rights of a Foreigner-Thai marriage. If you really love your girlfriend, take her back to the US and marry her there. I agree with you about Thailand not being concerned with foreigners. I've seen other foreigners kicked out for any reason. Taking her back to US is something I'm considering.

Or can i just sent a international transfer to my Krungsrri bank..which is expensive but its definitley an international transfer coming from abroad.Must i also give a reason when using the last option? I am married and 60+ Thank you As I said, I doubt any Transferwise transfer will show up as International to Krungsri as it is not one of their partner banks. The options are to try and use Transferwise PDF receipt in conjunction, or pursue back from the Krungsri end to get confirmation it was International... rather a lot of effort. Hard to predict what your particular immigration officer will be happy with. All they want is confirmation it is coming from overseas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
