ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all

Moving to Khon Kaen province in October with Thai wife - been in UK 15 years with UK marriage certificate.

I was planning on a multi non O based on marriage but understand that is now not available from UK.

If I get the single entry - what is it's validity? - i.e can I get it a month before planned arrival in Thailand and then get a single 90 day period on arrival.

In the last 30 days, I then need to apply for extension of stay based on marriage - I can meet the financial monthly deposits as I have an active BBK Bank account but it is based in Pattaya from previous visits.

I have been advised that I need to haven account in the province I apply for the extension as the KK BBK Bank branch will not update the book / provide statement / letter - anybody on the ground in KK can confirm or not pls?

Appreciate all advice :-)
