Good day all. Some advise please. I am on Non OA but prefer to no on Non O, thought it was possible to do the change here in Thailand but IO today says I must apply outside Thailand. I am due to travel out next month for 2 months, back for 2 weeks then out again for 2 months

Should I wait and apply out of country if they have an embassy or is there another way to do this?

British national, Thai bank opened and 800k deposit done along with 1 month 65k plus deposit made.

Asking folks from California…

Does LA consulate require federal authentication for a US marriage certificate when applying for a Non-O spouse visa? I heard that the process can be long.

Hello,

I plan to leave Thailand on October 1 to 10 to travel to Indonesia, so I went to immigration and applied for a single entry for this trip.

In addition, I also plan to leave Thailand again on October 20 to 24 to travel to South Korea.

Therefore, I would like to apply for a new single entry visa again during that time.

Do you know if it is possible to apply for a 2nd single entry visa ?

Because the Multiple Entry visa is more expensive and I will leave the country only twice (so 2000 baht). I have an non immigrant ED visa.

Thank you !

Hello,

Apologies if the following has been asked already recently. I need to apply for Non-O visa based on marriage. I've copied a post from here a few years back and was wondering if it's still the same procedure:

- enter on a tourist visa get stamped in for 60 days

during that time GO to your immigration office with your thai husband and get the hand out listing the requirements for getting the 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai

- when you have about a month or so left on your 60 day tourist stamp GO and apply for the 90 day Non-O, pay 2000baht

you'll get a receipt that says to come back in between 14 and 20 days

- go back get the Non-O visa and a new 90 day stamp inked in

THEN you wait until you have 30 days left on that stamp

- go apply for the year extension based on marriage for 1900baht (GET the sheet from your office listing those requirements when you go back to get the Non-O inked in because they're not the same as what you just used )

You will get a 30 day under consideration stamp

- go back on that date and they will ink in the year extension

if you want to you would buy a re-entry permit (single or multiple) after you get the extension so you could come in and out during that year and not lose your extension

That's how it works going from a 60 day tourist visa to a Non-O 90 day visa and then a year extension based on marriage to a thai at your immigration office in country.

Hopefully someone can confirm that this is still the correct procedure? Also does someone have handout listing the requirements? (I'll be applying in Bangkok).

Thank you for your help!

I visited the Immigration Office about getting my Retirement Visa.

My current Non-O Visa will expire before I meet the 2 Month requirement for 800,000 in my Thai Bank Account.

So I have to make a visa run.

Can I go to Myanmar and enter back in on a Tourist Visa and then apply for my Retirement Visa when I meet the 2-Month requirement for my Bank Account?
