Going to Thailand for 5 and half months. I am going on a "O"visa ( married to Thai lady) .My understanding is I will get 3 months first then after there will try to get extension. Can I book return trip at five and half months from the get go  or do I have to keep it within  the first 3 months and then change it. Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original question asked whether it was permissible to book a return trip for five and a half months when entering Thailand on a Non-O visa due to marriage with a Thai citizen. Responses indicate that it is not necessary to show a return ticket when entering on a Non-O visa, and there is a possibility to extend the visa before the first three months are over, allowing for longer stays without needing to leave the country.

either 400,000 in a Thai bank under your name only for 2 months prior to applying or proof of international transfers every month of at least 40,000 baht for the last 12 months that is assuming you’re not working here and earning at least 40k with proper taxes paid.
