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.
TLDR : 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.
