I have a Non-o multi entry visas based on marriage. Previously from KL without much hassle just showing 100,000THB in a Thai account. Now KL is asking to show 400,000THB, I called them up yesterday to confirm this is correct - it is. I said I could (just) about show the money but only around 100,000 in a Thai account and the rest in 2 seperate UK accounts by showing online banking printouts. She would not commit exactly 100% if this was acceptable or not I would have to see on the day??
Anyway I think Savanaket is still an option without showing any funds, although my flight to KL is already booked up for August.
Other options are a legal firm here in Phuket who can make a 1 year immigration extension without the 400,000THB, everything else need to show as normal, they charge 25,000THB - so has anyone used this service, is it all ok, sounds a bit expensive and at this price is last resort.
Next option is to show an income of 40,000THb to immigration in Phuket and do the yearly extension myself, I am not sure how strict they are in this or how much they would check into it. e.g. I could show the amount going into my uk acount every month, would I need to show where the money came from. I have about the equivalent 19,000thb go into my account from rental income but the rest I would have to make up with some regular transfers (not really an income that I could show the source of). First would this be aceptable to the Hon Consul or the British embassy to provide an income certificate, Second if I got the certificate would this be accepted by Phuket immigration without any further proof of the income source?
Thanks
