Is there a long-term visa option for foreigners married to Thai nationals similar to the Non O-A visa?

@Mark *****

I will admit it is a PILE 'O Paperwork (photos, maps, documents, etc) to get a yearly extension based on marriage at the immigration office AND your application would go under consideration for 30 days before you'd go back and get the year extension inked into your passport.

If you don't have a problem getting a year-long multi-entry Non-O and bouncing out and back in every 90 days, keep on doing it. It's FAR easier to do that right now than push thru a yearly extension based on marriage (especially as Savannakhet and HCMC issue that visa without ANY proof of funds and just minimal documentation).

There are two options available for stays based on marriage to a thai

You get a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O visa (not there is NO A after that O) from a thai consulate which will get you stamped in for 90 days when you enter, when that runs out you go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country, then stamp back into thailand to get a new 90 day stamp. <- You do that for the whole year the visa is valid for and you can get almost 15 months of stay on it (in 90 day increments)

OR you get a 90 day single entry Non-O visa (either from a thai consulate or inside the country from the immigration office) and then you apply for a yearly extension of stay at the immigration office by meeting the financial requirements and providing the required documentation.

If you hold a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage you must bounce out and back into the country every 90 days right?

There is no 2 years visa. The Non Immigrant O-A visa is valid for a year and gives you one year of stay at each entry. If you enter just before of the Enter Before or Valid Until date you still get a 1 year of Admitted to Stay.
