There have been no new new laws passed since october 2006. There is nothing new here. The marriage visa thing is also out of dated unless you were on the system prior to oct 2006, its now 40K a month minimum income, and not a lump sum.

Has this come from thai visa.com? seems like their old trick to gain traffic and income to sunbelt

true that

gjbkk

the minimum income of 40K per month can be a combination of both wife or husband income.

If the books are clean there is no problem and tax is paid on the 40K per month, then no problems.

Thetyim

Sorry I don't understand what you are saying.
This document is saying that it has gone back to income or lump sum and is dated 25/11/2008
Are you saying that this is wrong ?

there have been no new official orders that I can see sice october 2006

Thetyim

I really don't understand how an immigration lawyer could have made such an error.
I don't know what to believe now

dirtydog

Thats what it was for the last year or so, supposedly now it has been changed to husband only.

gjbkk

I have looked at their website and I cannot see anything new, best if I look in the morning with less whiskey in my blood, but nothing on google except TV forum

Thetyim

The Thai Immigration website is pretty useless and presents little information in English.

These new rules, if true, have not been officially translated into English yet so confirmation will be a while coming

dirtydog

The translation wont make much difference anyway, as always it will be how each immigration office reads, understands and implements them.

One presumes it is the drink talking here? Either that or you are an idiot.

The order is clearly dated 25/11/08 and supersedes the previous relevant orders notably that of 2006.

Husbands can now qualify for a visa of 12 months with a deposit of 400k baht held in a local Thai bank for at least 2 months prior to application. Good news for those under 50 without an income but who do have a bit of dosh.

sabang

My status, as someone who was granted a mariage visa (just) before Oct. 2006, is that I only have to show 400K + in the bank- no income requirement, no 2 month requirement for the 400K.

Has that changed?

gjbkk

I might have had a drink last night but at least I am civil - however from your post you are nothing more than a คนเส็งเคร็ง



The order might be dated but there is no reference to it like a National Police Order as far as i can see.

if it has been change then I think thats good, it will help a lot of people.

Thetyim

You mean "extension of stay" not visa

ChiangMai noon

does it not apply to a new visa also?

Thetyim

The discussion is about the new regulations 777/2551 which concerns extensions only

ChiangMai noon

title needs changing then.

Immigration Bureau


nothing new here

klongmaster

Jack Golf confirmed by phone today that 30 days has been reduced to 15 days but the 3 entries rule has been deleted...so if you're from a country which had 30 before you now get 15 days but can enter as many times as you like in a year...
