Has anyone got any experience in applying for a Non O staying with family visa from the UK if so can you book a one way ticket or do you need a return flight? As obviously i will be applying for a 1 year extension when i get there

Yes, you can book a one-way ticket for applying for a Non-O visa to stay with family in Thailand. Users shared that having a one-way ticket is acceptable as long as you can show your visa if checked by airline staff.

so im guessing it wont be a problem as long as her name on ID and passport are the same as her 1st name on the marriage cert?

My wife done this.

Changed original name to lucky name.

Changed lucky name back to original because it's more lucky.

I don't get involved, just go along with it.

My wife changed her first name because she was told it was more lucky for her. They get a certificate to show it's been changed.

Which name does it have on her ID card?

This was my message.

Royal Thai Embassy/ The Royal Thai Consulate-General would like to request for additional documents as follows:

Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. ID card, Passport and the visa page or stay permit in Thailand: - Wife’s Thai ID card or passport. Her name is not the same as your Marriage certificate.
