Getting married to a Thai woman. Is it ok to get a Non-O staying permit for a year if I am going to stay there 4-8 months/year, still working sometimes in my home country? As long as 40 000baht/month comes to my account? Would they renew it after one year?
Answer summary
Yes, you can apply for a Non-O staying permit for a year if you are married to a Thai woman, but there are specific requirements. You must prove an income of 40,000 baht per month, ideally through direct transfer, but some immigration offices may not accept this method. Additionally, you should be in Thailand for at least 2-3 months annually around the time of your visa extension. Be cautious of tax implications, as residing in Thailand for 180 days or more may make you a tax resident. If you meet the financial and residency criteria, renewal at the end of the year should be possible.

You need to check you don't fall into double taxation with your own country and Thailand, if you're in Thailand 180 days in one year you become a Thai tax resident. Google AI will give you lots of information

You need to check with your immigration office to see if they will accept proof of 40,000 baht per month in international transfers as proof of income. Some will not accept that.

You also need to make sure you're in Thailand for 2-3 months every year around the time of your extension.
