Can my Spanish wife apply for a marriage visa at an immigration office outside Bangkok?

Question

Hi. I am asking for my wife. She is spanish and actually on a visa exempt. We would like to do the marriage visa ( I am thai national ), the tabien baan is in Bangkok. Is possible for her to apply in a different Immigration other than Bangkok? If someone know about any reliable agent that could help with all the paperworks and make it smoother process, that would be really apreciated. Thank you

The user is inquiring whether their Spanish wife, currently on a visa-exempt status, can apply for a marriage visa (NON-O) at an immigration office outside of Bangkok. They are Thai nationals and are in the process of preparing for marriage at an amphur. Responses indicate that the marriage visa application must be done at the immigration office corresponding to the TM30 filing for their residence, and provide details on required documentation and processes involved in marrying and applying for the visa.

Thanks for the responses. We will get marry soon at the amphur. Waiting to get back the translated passport and freedom of marriage stamped from the MFA. Does she need to be in the same tabien baan where I am (yellow book for foreigners) or just a TM30 reported online is good?

[mention redacted] . Pay attention. He said "my wife " in the first sentence of his post . The rest of what you said is 100% correct

The first thing she must do, and an agent can not help her with this, is get a right to marry notarized document from her embassy, basically that she is either single never been married, divorced with divorce decree documents, or widowed with the death certificate. After she gets this you can get married at a local amphur, with copies of her passport, copies of your Thai ID card, and copy of the house book you are listed in. After you are married to get the type O visa based on marriage she can only use the immigration officer in the district her TM30 was filed for with her living address. After you are go to the immigration office and get a list of documents and pictures needed for the visa, then the visa extension. Keep all the documents because after the first time everything after that is all the same except new bank letters and new pictures, unless she moves. It is quite easy to do. It just takes time, and there isn't really anything an agent can help you with. The financial requirement is different for a foreign woman marrying a Thai man, so be very aware of that when you check the requirements at immigration.

We're you married in Thailand?

Marriage visa/extension application needs to be done at imm office in your residential province.

The good news is Thai men don't need 400k baht in a bank for a visa for a foreign wife.
