Non-Imm O Visa Thailand Visa Rules Marriage Visa Thai Immigration Proof of Funds Visa Options for Expats Visa for Indian Citizens

Hello everyone,

I am an Indian and currently working in India. My Thai wife and I were married officially in Denmark (I was working in Germany at the time) and we have marriage certificate from there apostilled according to The Hague convention.

I want to apply for marriage visa (Non-Imm O) and I see on Thai embassy website that they have two options, one is single entry 3 months and another is multiple entry one year.

My question is that currently I am out of thailand so I don’t that a Thai bank account and I don’t have 400k but in my current job I am getting more than 40k THB per month so can I go for a one year non-imm visa directly or it wouldn’t be possible?

Even if I go with 3 month option, I don’t have 400k in cash to put in a Thai bank account and I don’t think I will get a 3 month holiday from my job. Does that mean this visa only makes sense if I decide to live and work in Thailand?

Thanks a lot in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is seeking guidance on applying for a Non-Imm O marriage visa from outside Thailand, specifically regarding the financial requirements. They express concern about not having a Thai bank account or the requisite 400,000 THB. Responses indicate that it is possible to apply for a one-year multiple entry Non-Imm O visa based on marriage, as proof of funds can be shown from the individual's home country instead of Thailand.

apply for the year long multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage, that visa you show proof of funds in your country before you come here, and you don't need to bank any money IN thailand to get it

The visa is good for unlimited entries for a year from the date it's issued.

Each entry gets you stamped in for 90 days,

When that time is up, you exit/re-enter the country to get a new 90 day entry stamp.

You do that for the whole time the visa is valid for

That's the one you want if you're going to be traveling here but still leaving for work etc, as it gives you unlimited entries for the year

That sounds perfect! In case if after getting this visa I want to stay with my wife full time there do I just do the visa run every 90 days or in that case I need to show 400k in Thai bank?

you can just bounce out and back every 90 days and never need to show the money for the year the visa is valid then next year on the LAST 90 day entry you do on that visa you can get the 400K baht money in the bank for 2 months and go for the year extension at the immigration office for 1900baht
