Do I need an FBI background check for a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand?
I am currently in the usa we are waiting for my husband to get his usa citizenship before retiring on a non o marriage visa how long does it take for FBI check and will it have to be apostilled.what is the validation windows for the background check thank you
Answer summary
The original inquiry concerns the need for an FBI check and its apostille for a Non-O marriage visa while waiting for a husband's U.S. citizenship. Comments indicate that an FBI check is not typically required for a Non-O visa based on marriage, and the validity period for background checks is generally six months.

It appears you are a same sex marriage and per Google Thailand recognizes same sex marriages now as of earlier this year so I'm assuming that would include for non-O marriage based Visa's also.

what is the differenceChris *******
@Julia ********
an OA VISA is 1yr visa, multientry. Requires heath, medical and police clearance.Only obtainable from an embassy using funds outside Thailand. A non-o visa is a 90 day visa requires no health insurance or clearances. You can apply at an embassy or incountry. Then when you are in Thailand you apply for yearly extensions.

Most people applying to get a visa for Thailand are non thai citizens so I'm not sure what you mean.

If your visa is based on a marriage, and your spouse dies, you can remain in Thailand until the end of your extension. After that you either need to apply for an extension based on a new reason, or leave Thailand.Lynnette *******
@Bernard **********
if you are over 50 you could switch to retirement visa. That is also Non-O and doesn't need police check and insurance.Bernard ***********
