Do you have a stamp like this in your passport? This is an example so please don't look at the red text retirement.

@Tod ********

if thats the case then why is he telling me on a marriage visa to only report to him every 3 months? Not baeng soucy but the main guy, im not talking about a metv im talking a marriage visa, so is it 3 month border bounce or 3 month visit to immi ?

And now you see the many problems and misunderstandings that arise when "blanket terminology" like "marriage visa" is used in situations :O

No one knows IF you have a year long, multi-entry Non-O visa OR a yearly extension of stay.

At least in this case the O/P posted a picture of his VISA but even though he did that he still got wrong answers from some people. :/

God I have been reading this thread and if I was the OP i would be confused.

To the OP.

You have a multiple entry non O visa valid for 12 months. That means you are allowed to enter Thailand as many times as you wish during those 12 months. Every time you enter Thailand you receive a permission of stay of 90 days. At the end of that permission to stay, you either need to exit Thailand or extend your permission of stay.

In the first circumstance, what some people choose to do is border runs. That means, you exit Thailand and reenter, and upon reentry, you will be given a new permission to stay of 90 days.

Now, any 90 day permission of stay for the type of visa you are on can be extended at local Immigration for 2 reasons:

- for the purpose of visiting Thai wife - 2 month extension

- for the purpose of marriage - 12 month extension

Supporting documents are required.

Now, OP, when you last entered Thailand, you have been granted a permission of stay of 90 days, that you have extended at local Immigration for another 60 days for the purpose of visiting Thai wife.

Note that at this stage, a further extension for the purpose of visiting Thai wife is not possible anymore, you are limited at one 60 day extension per 90 day permission of stay.

So your options are:

Leave on or before June 10th, and upon reentry receive a new permission of stay of 90 days.

Extend your current permission of stay for 12 months at local Immigration for the purpose of marriage with the supporting documents and funds required.

Mario Bronx is that your experience ? i spoke to the chief mae hong son immigration officer just last week, he told me no need to leave, just report every 3 months to him. Thats coming from chief of immigration of the province, not word of mouth, not second or third hand, but directly from him. I doubt it differs per province

You can apply for a yearly extension of stay based on marriage at the immigration office by meeting the financial requirements when you have 30 days or less left on ANY entry of that visa.

if you're using banked money the 400K baht needs to be in a thai bank account in your name only 2 months prior to you applying for the extension of stay.

Once you apply it will go under consideration for 30 days then you go back and get the year extension inked into your passport. It will cost you 1900baht

After you get the year extension IF you're going to leave the country during the next year you would need a re-entry permit

You can apply for the Extension of stay 30 days before your Admitted to Stay date. Going early give you time in case you missed one of the copies, the Extension is added to your stay, so you won't loose days by going early.

The visa is good for a year but your allowed period of stay is whatever was stamped into your passport when you entered (should have been 90 days and will be indicated on your entry stamp).

Your options:

a) exit and return every 90 days. Effectively this can give you 15 months stay in the kingdom.

b) get the paperwork together to "extend" your period of stay from 90 days to 1 year but this will take even more paperwork and a hefty bank account.

When you enter the country you get an 'admitted until' (with a date) stamp. That's how long you are permitted to stay. With this visa, as others have said, that will be 90 days.

On that visa 100% you get stamped in for 90 days, and then you go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country and stamp back into thailand.

You CANNOT stay a year by just doing 90 day reporting at the immigration office

Yes, it is is Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa, on every entry you get a new stamp that Admitted you to stay till 90 days later. You can use this visa till the enter before dat 27 Dec 2018. If you enter just before or on 27 Dec you still get 90 days so can can get almost 15 months of stay in partitions of 90 days out of this visa. After that you can apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay at local Immigration and one of the requirements is indeed the 400.000 Thb on a bank account.

Okay, what you have is a year-long (NOT 2 years) multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O visa based on marriage
