ORIGINAL POSTER

Dear group, I have a question about changing from an ED visa to a Non-O marriage visa for my wife.

If her ED visa is valid until the 19th December, can we still go abroad and apply for a non-O before that date?, or do we need to wait for ED visa to expire before then applying for a Non-O?

Thanks in advance

In theory, IF she is on an extension of stay you should go to the immigration office and cancel it with a letter from the school stating she is stopping studying on xxx date. You can do that a couple weeks early, then she can just stamp out and go get the 90 day non-O

ahh, there we go, yep your wife CAN go and get a 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to you from a thai consulate and then you go to the immigration office and get her a matching extension.

Are you on a visa/extension type that lets your spouse get a matching extension?

There is no way that my wife can stay here as my dependent? The Thai Consulate in Hong Kong, and my company seem to think differently. Am I using the wrong terminology?
