Hi, my HK friend wants to follow her husband to Thailand where he works.  Is she getting a spouse visa or a marriage visa?  Are they different or are they the same?  Thanks.

Answer summary

In Thailand, the terms 'spouse visa' and 'marriage visa' are often used interchangeably. Typically, what is referred to as a 'spouse visa' is actually a type of marriage visa (NON-O visa) granted to foreigners who are married to Thai citizens or to foreign nationals who hold a valid visa. It's essential to apply for the correct type based on specific relationship status and circumstances.
