Hi all new here so sorry if this has been asked before. I'm about to leave the US and head back to my wife. I was told I can do visa exempt and then get a non o for marriage when I get there. Is that 100% correct or do I need to have a visa prior to coming into Thailand? I'd hate to get there and be denied a marriage visa and have to do this all again. Any help is welcome and thank you ahead of time!!
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can enter Thailand on a 45-day visa exempt entry and then apply for a 90-day Non-O visa based on marriage. To get the Non-O visa, you will need to meet certain requirements, including having 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account in your name for at least 2 months before applying for a one-year extension based on marriage.
