ORIGINAL POSTER

Greetings all and thanks for the add!  I am hoping for some sound and sage advice on whether I can obtain a marriage visa THIS month.  Here is my situation:  I am beginning the process of obtaining a marriage visa.  My Thai fiance' and I have been living in Nonthaburi for 32 days now.   I have extended my tourist "30 days on arrival" visa for an additional 30 days, and it is good  until June 29.  I meet the Non-O income requirements, I have had 400K+ baht in a Thai bank for 25 days, and proof of monthly pension of 55.2K baht.  I turn 64 this month and have no health problems nor criminal record.  Nonthaburi Immigration says I need 1 year of deposit history for the pension, and/or 2 months evidence of funds for the Thai bank account.  I would like to achieve my goal without paying out to a legal firm and prefer NO re-entering of the Kingdom.  Thanks in advance.

It has nothing to do with Thai visa advice, but to get married visit your local Amphur and ask what documents you need and get the information from your Embassy to get the documents needed. If you have all the documents prepared, visit the Amphur and get married, which in Thailand is just making the Certificate and registration as married into their computer system. This is an example of the Marriage Certificate that you need to apply for the Non Immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai National:

You should start with the beginning. To apply for the Non Immigrant O visa based on married to a Thai national, you must be married to a Thai National. Having a Thai Fiance is not enough.
