TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, there have been recent changes to the Non-O marriage visa in Thailand, particularly regarding entry types. Most consulates using the e-visa system now only offer a single entry 90-day Non-O visa for marriage, eliminating the previously available multiple entry option. Applicants must meet similar financial requirements for both in-country extensions and initial applications. For those wishing to travel, obtaining a re-entry permit is an option, and some expats have discussed the feasibility of obtaining a one-year multiple entry marriage visa from nearby applications in Laos.

We went abroad during the first three months, before the first extension. I simply got a re-entry permit. When we returned the passport control mentioned β€œYou have only 10 days left on your visa” and I replied we would request the extension on the next Monday.

Zero problems, friendly smile, and a β€œVery good” from the officer.

Last year about Oct, they eliminated the "multiple entry" option on Non-O eVisas based on retirement, marriage.

ALL the consulates that are on the eVisa system ONLY have single entry 90 day Non-O available for those reasons.

These 59 thai consulates are eVisa

No, there was always a multiple entry option, and a single entry option. It is just now the multiple is no long available in most places.

So if I want to go away for a month, do I have to go through the whole marriage visa process again when I come back?

@Oskar **********
Or go to Laos and get a 1 year multi entry marriage visa. But both require proof of funds anyway

@Oskar **********
It would be possible to get a re-entry permit and return on the same visa. But it would be best to get a 1 year extension of stay, and a re-entry permit.

You can still get one in Savannakhet but now there are the same financial requirements as an in country extension and appointments not walk-in.

I believe it has been removed for all the embassies using the e-visa system. Where are you applying?
