ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, if you are married to a Thai national, you can legally move to Thailand by applying for a marriage visa. To do this, you typically need to obtain a Non-O visa for 90 days initially, which can then be extended for a year if you meet financial requirements such as having 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account or earning at least 40,000 THB per month. Additionally, there are specific documentation requirements, such as proof of your marriage and possibly an affidavit from your embassy. While marriage may facilitate your residency, it does not eliminate the need for the appropriate visa.
