ubonjoe Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That is the correct one to select if you applied for the non-o visa based upon retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers sam I would assume you'll be applying for a 1 year extension based on marriage before your 90 day entry expires. That application will count as a visit and they'll issue a notification of the next 90 day report date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the question has been asked before but I can’t find it. If I have a Non-O Visa based on marriage, it is good for 3 months. If I want an extension, do I need to apply for a 2-month extension first and for a year after or I can apply for a year for the first extension? And how much money do I need in the Bank? Thank you very much for your always very helpful answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for your always very helpful answers. For a 1 year extension of stay based on marriage using funds in a Thai bank account, the requirement is 400K for 2 months prior to the date of application. You can apply for a 60 day extension in order to season the 400K for 2 months prior to applying for the 1 year extension if you require more time. The account must be in your sole name.

Before my 2-month extension expires, if I want a one-year extension, I need 800K in the Bank to my name for 2 months. Is that correct? Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, you can add your wife as an authorised signature to the account. My wife is an authorised signature to both my Bangkok bank Savings and Fixed term accounts. In the case of the Savings account they issued debit cards for both of us. Her name does not appear on the Passbooks or statements and letters.

You can submit the application up to 30 days in advance of your current permission of stay expiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can apply for a one-year extension as your first extension, and I recommend you do so unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The 60-day extension (only allowed once per entry into Thailand) is useful insurance that you can use at any time when there is a problem with the long term extension.

Gerard052 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 5 hours ago, DrJack54 said: 800k retirement. 400k marriage. Thank you very, very much, because in my case it is very important to know, normally I get the retirement Visa as I come to Thailand only 5-6 months a year and spend the rest of the year at home even though I am married to a Thai lady. I make 2 years out of it but it is more expensive and a lot more paperwork, and I don’t need 800k in the Bank in my case, but 400k is very doable, I have no problem with that. Your help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
