You will need more then 2K THB for an in-country Non-O visa based on marriage. Expect the following:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. The most recent entry stamp or extension of stay (if applicable).

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) stapled in the passport.

2. If entered on a tourist visa, a TM 86 visa change request form, and if entered on a visa on arrival, visa exempt, or bilateral agreement, a TM 87 visa change request form.

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. A marriage certificate with a certified translation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if the certificate was not issued in Thailand.
