salween Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 One year ago in Penang all I needed was: 1) Marriage certificate (mine was translated and certified by MoFA as we were married in the US) 2) My Passport 3) Passport Photo 4) Copy of wife’s ID card But who knows what's required now? kvec posted on another thread that he's been in touch with the NJ Books agent in Penang, maybe he can tell you what NJ Books told him? Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was just his idea or a requirement, that's why I underlined the maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevc Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I would like to know whether i have to show the 400,000 baht financial statement to the Thai Consular @ Penang or not. What if i have no any money to show? Just been on to Penang and Kl embassies, Penang still do multi entry but require 400.00 in the bank said i didn't have that and he said it was then up to their discression, just said it would be better if i had it. Kl still do multi entry but do not require bank details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beameiz Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 So it implies that going to apply the multiple entries @ KL is better than Penang, rite? Because @ KL, we have not to show 400,000 in our bank acc, rite? The problem is my husband would like to apply non immigrant visa type O but we don't have money to show.

geoffphuket Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) The 400,000 question in Penang seems to be in a terribly grey area. A friend that did his visa run a week after mine wasn’t asked, and didn’t have it…. He got his non ‘O’ with no problem, so its seems to depend on what sort of day the immigration officer is having Edited September 14, 2006 by geoffphuket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjtayler Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I originally extended from a 1 year multi non imm B to a Thai wife visa in Bangkok 3 years ago and had to show the following items - Marriage certicate Bank balance 400,000Baht (show both bank book and written statement in letter from my bank) All pages copied from bank book to show recent transactions Work permit Letter from employer stating postion and salary Current tax receipts from employer Address and photos showing obvious coinhabitance with my wife Wifes ID card Wifes families house registration document Each subsequent year when I have extended the Thai wife visa we have shown the same documentation minus the photos. I initially get stamped 1 month under consideration and then return on the said date (well a few days prior) to collect the 1 year Thai wife stamp in my passport. The reason I return a few days prior is to make sure I can then get my work permit extended at the labour deparment (it is extended in parallel with whatever date is in my passport) before it runs past its expiry date. I hope this info helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
