To apply for a marriage visa, do I need a certain amount of money in the bank and do I have to leave the country every 90 days?

Thanks in advance👍🏻
Answer summary
To apply for a marriage visa (Non-O) in Thailand, you generally need to meet specific financial requirements. This can include having a security deposit of THB 400,000 in a Thai bank account for at least two months prior to applying or a monthly income of at least THB 40,000, verified by a letter from your embassy. You won't need to exit the country every 90 days if you opt for a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa, but if you apply for a single entry Non-O visa, you may need to leave Thailand every 90 days to re-enter.

Here's a list of the documentation you need in Savannakhet

copies of:

- the front and back of both marriage certificates (Kor Ror 2 & 3)

- thai wife's i/d card (frnt & back on one patge)

-thai wife's house book listing

-data page of your passport

You'll need 2 passport sized photos and the original marriage certificate with the rose border (they'll wanna see it because it has an embossed stamp)

Those things and 5000baht gets you a year-long, multi-entry Non-O based on marriage to a thai :)

Good Luck (y)

, you're gonna hafta get your ducks in a row and decide where you're gonna go to get the visa, if you're gonna get a 90 day single entry Non-O based on marriage and then apply for a yearly extension inside the country by meeting the financial requirements

OR

If you're gonna apply for a year-long, multi-entry Non-O and then every 90 days exit/re-enter the country

Once you decide what you're going to do, people can give you better advice.

Right now
@Ll***
's advice is spot on for either going to Vientiane and getting a 90 day single entry Non-O or going to Savannakhet and getting a year-long, multi-entry Non-O, and
@No**
's advice is correct IF you're going to apply for a yearly extension of stay based on marriage at the immigration office.

Thx for all the info

. I'll be in the same boat next year. Was planning to do a 90 day non-o and then apply for a year long visa after registering our marriage as I read that the year long visa could then be renewed within Thailand. per my understanding, no runs ever necessary... I didn't realize that there was a multi year option with 90 day runs. Is there any particular benefit of one method over another? Any future considerations to be wary of in making the decision to go single or multi year? Thanks!

Must meet the financial requirement

Security deposit of THB 400,000 in a Thai Bank Account for at least 2 months prior to the visa application; or

Monthly income of at least THB 40,000. A letter from the foreigner embassy has to be shown to verify this income

Supporting documents as proof of the security deposit in a Thai bank are as follows:

Updated bank book or passbook

Bank letter stating that the money had been deposited to the account from an overseas source for not less than 2 months.
