Can I leave Thailand and reapply for the marriage visa after entering on a 60-day visa exempt?
Good morning,
I have been on a marriage extension for 4 years,
This year I can't do my extension as I have insufficient funds,
My money Is late coming in this year, so I'm thinking I have to leave and come back on a 60 day visa exempt, by which time my funds will be here, am I able to do this and apply for the marriage visa again?
And if so can I just go to a bordering country?

Just get a 60 day visit family ext no need to leave the country at all. So many know it all know nothings here

Just get the DTV and you won't have problems with requirements anymore...anyways they don't like foreigners marry their girls... So no more stupid interrogations...

Applying is such a pain though...I am also redoing it because the time to renew was so inconvenient. Maybe pay for an agent once? For the funds that is.

It's ok, I'm happy to exploreDavid **********
OPThank you for the info, at least now I know I can do what I thought,

Yep you can, you have to start it from scratch tho. Get Visa first, then maybe you need a Thai witness when you apply for next extension, expect immigration to pay you a visit home and so on
Chris *********************
@Alessandro *********
I don't think all home visits and witness should apply as he already has 4 years under his beltAlessandro **********
@Chris ********************
for them it doesn't matter how many years you had on a Visa that is now no longer valid. Getting a new Visa can restart the process, been there done thatChris *********************
@Alessandro *********
depends where you live in ThailandDavid **********
OP@Chris ********************
it would be ok anyway, they normally give notice

Did you already use the 60 day visit family extension based on being married? That extension is available once per entry. And it would allow you to both buy time to season your money, and also lets you apply again directly for the one year extension, without needing to start over with a new initial 90 day non o.

OP@Mikkel ******

Hopefully, you can report back about what Khon Kaen Immigration said about everything....and, what course of action did you take?David **********
OP@Dca ****
I will do that, I will be going in next weekGreg ***********
@Mikkel ******
you cannot do the "change of visa type" straight from the 60-days extension based on family visit to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O marriage visa. The police order clearly states that you can apply for the change only from out of a tourist visa or visa exempt entry. All David Mcmillan can do is ask his Immigration if they are willing to let him apply as you suggestedGreg ***********
@David *********
I reckon what @Mikkel ******
posted is correct. If so, you can apply for the 1-year married-extension straight from the 60-days family visit extension as soon as you meet the deposit seasoning requirement which should say two months prior to applicationDavid **********
OP@Greg **********
So do I apply for the 60 day extension then the 90 day family visa then extension, I think that is what you are saying.Greg ***********
@Mikkel ******
"he is already on yearly extension. He apply for the 60 day visit family extension, and then again a yearly extension." . . . . . . . YOU ARE WRONG! He will first need to apply for the "change of visa type" to a 90-days Non-Imm-O family visa, before he can apply for the 1-year extension. He cannot go staight to the 1-year extension from out of a 60 days family visit extensionMikkel *******
@Greg **********
in fact I know several people who have done it that way, and for the same reason. That the money wasn't there or seasoned enough yet.Mikkel *******
@Greg **********
there is no chance of visa type, he is already on yearly extension. He apply for the 60 day visit family extension, and then again a yearly extension. It is all based on the same reason (marriage to a thai) and is perfectly doable. He is not applying for a new visa when doing this.

I was going to suggest the same probably the best in your circumstances I will see save you a lot of money leaving the country and bouncing back in
Pertti *************
Just do visa run and apply new initial visa and get new extension.
Michael ********
Yes you can, they may ask you about it but not an issue. Last time i entered was tourist visa was marriage visa before. They asked me and i said need time to reapply no issue. Still undecided whether or not to do DTV.
