I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Re: Udon immigration, VERY BUSY TODAY!
It was a mad house yesterday (27th) as well. Somehow I got lucky and got my 1 year extension completed (under consideration ended yesterday) and they also gave me a new 90 day period. Didn't even go inside. All took 10 minutes waiting outside. No parking whatsoever anywhere!tamada wrote: ↑May 28, 2021, 11:01 amAnyone planning a quick in-out at Udon Immigration TODAY 28th May... forget about it!

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
It has never been 300k if that’s the number you were told the IO made a mistake it changed in January 2019 to require a minimum all year amount.
See criteria (4) under

My stupid fault for not checking but below 400K last year and not a word said, but how can someone who's extension is based on income (65K/month) not need 400K in an account for the whole year.TIT is suppose. Question was what is the requirements for an extension based on marriage to a Thai national.

Marriage is 400k for 2 months before application only
unless and only unless immigration requires you to return during the under consideration period and prove funds.
Nothing after, until 2 months before your next application.
It’s helpful if you don’t post the same, or almost the same, question at the same time in multiple threads.

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
A single person supporting himself is required 800.
A married couple supporting at least two require half that amount.
It's a Thai thing, westerners can't possibly grasp the mystic obscurity.

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
It makes perfect sense. More money is needed to support two people, therefore less is required to stay in the bank account.

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
Absolutely not. If you're trying to live on 400,000 baht a year, or even 800,000 baht a year, you're living very frugal.Drunk Monkey wrote: ↑June 1, 2021, 8:24 pmNot sure about that thought process Ken

That's just money that has to stay in the account for a certain period of time during the year.

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
i agree but the Immo allowance for alien spending throughout the year is based on 400k being deemed sufficient .. so it was explained to me by a friend who is an IO.
retirement 800k down to 400k .
marriage 400k to zero back to 400.

Just a theory - perhaps Immo understands that a married guy doesn't need to spend a lot on "extra curricula".
If you know what I mean.

Re: Udon immigration, not busy!
They are two completely different types of visas with different requirements. And just because you're married doesn't mean you're retired.
