How Long Before Moving to Thailand Can One Apply for a Non-O Visa?
I just got my email from The Thai embassy in Los Angeles and I have been approved for my Non-O marriage visa! I want to thank everyone on this page who helped me with a huge shout out to Brandon Thurkettle! Every single thing he said here has proven to be totally accurate. He was the one who first told me the Non-O marriage would best suit me. So it’s a huge relief to have that out of the way, now we are on the clock. We will be in Thailand by the end of May at the latest and then it’s time to stress out over building our new house! 😎🤪😎🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭. Thanks again everyone and maybe we will bump into you at The Monkey Bar in Korat. Brandon I will definitely buy you some drinks!

OP@Nav *******
it was 5 days until I got the email back saying they needed me to give them an ‘invitation letter’ from my wife. After I submitted that it was another 5 days until I got the approval. So about 12-13 days including the weekends.

How long before moving to Thailand can one apply for a non O visa? I am moving back to Thailand at the end of June.

@Peter ******
a non-O visa is valid for 90 days. So anytime within 90 days of your trip. One month should be plenty of time thoughPeter *******
