Hello all. I have a non immigrant o visa based on marriage. I need to renew it soon and hoping to not have to travel to loas to do so. Can i renew at a thai immigration office in Thailand or even in Australia? Thanks
Answer summary
The Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage cannot be renewed; instead, you must apply for a yearly extension of stay at the Thai immigration office. To qualify, you need to meet certain financial criteria, such as having 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account for 2 months or providing a notarized income affidavit from your consulate. Alternatively, a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa can be obtained from the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, Laos, or potentially in Australia, though you'll need to check specific requirements for each consulate.

First off you NEVER renew a visa ever. Visas run for a specific period of time then they expire.

You could apply for a yearly extension of stay based on marriage at the thai immigration office in your area by meeting the financial criteria of either 400K baht banked in a thai bank account in your name for 2 months prior to you applying for the extension OR by getting an affidavit of income notary letter from your consulate stating you make more than 40K baht a month.

You could also go to the thai consulate in Savannakhet Lao and get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage without showing any financial proof at all. BUT with that visa, you'd have to exit/re-enter thailand every 90 days for the duration of the year.

You might also be able to get that year-long, mutli-entry Non-O back in Australia from a thai consulate, but you'd hafta see what their requirements are for issuing it.

@Jor***
, you mean if you have that year-long, multi-entry Non-O?

You can exit/re-enter the country any way you want to get another 90 day stamp.

By land at any border would be okay or does it have to be by air?
