ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone! 👋
I recently got married to my Thai husband here in Thailand 🇹🇭 (we registered our marriage at an amphur). After that, I flew back to Singapore for about ten days, and now I’ve just flown back to Thailand.
As a Singapore passport holder, I’m here on a visa-exempt 60-day stay, so I still have a good amount of days left on my current entry.
Does anyone know if I can start the marriage visa process directly at the Krabi office while I’m on this 60-day stay? Or do I still need to leave and apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa from Singapore first?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s gone through this recently, especially other foreign wives of Thai husbands. 🙏💛 Thank you

You need to get non O in Singapore first. Non O visa can only be apply outside Thailand.

Incorrect. But it’s easier from outside Thailand.

Might work in your case. A foreign woman, married to Thai man, have a fast path not only for permanent residence but to full Thai citizenship, passport included. Something like 3 years.
My wife is Thai, I never got through those rules, you might already know that. Then, you can do any work you can or want to do, no limits.

I recently did all this and now have my 90day non o waiting to do extension.
You will need to make application ASAP as you need the bank account opening which you can't do without non o stamp in your passport. 400,000 needs to be in there for 2 months to apply for extension.
If I can help pm me

Ask the Krabi immigration office. If that's one of the offices that allows for non-O conversions in Thailand then yes you can do it. You'll need at least 15-21 days left on your existing stamp on the day you apply though.
