On entering Thailand by air, I have my tourist visa for thirty days. How long can I wait before the time I can change this for a marriage visa and where would the best place to do so.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon entering Thailand with a tourist visa that lasts for 30 days, you can start the process to change this to a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage as soon as you meet the requirements. It is recommended to apply when you have at least 15 days remaining on your current visa. The process may take about 60 days, and while you can apply the same day in Bangkok, it is advised to have at least 21 days left on your current visa for a smoother process. Documentation required includes proof of income or funds in a Thai bank account, a marriage certificate, and other supporting documents.
