That's the reason the issue the Non-O visa that everyone calls "marriage visa"
It's a single entry 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai or raising thai children.

ORIGINAL POSTER@Tod ********
thanks for your replies. Yes OK I was already planning on the OA visa then turn it into marriage visa.We have a nice small room in bangkok now so I guess its Chaeng Wattana for the application for 12 months based on marriage?
But the initial OA has to be done online in the UK?

@John ********
yes, that has to be done in your home country due to it's requirements, such as A Police Check.John *********

can you get an extension with this
Tod *********
@Peter ***********
yep you can apply for the year long extension of stay based on marriage to a thai by meeting the 400K baht proof of funds and turning in the required documentation at the immigration office OR
You can get one 60 day visit thai family extension without proof of funds
those are it, no other extensions on a Non-O based on 'thai family' is available

why did they stop the multiple entry ?James ********
@Andrew **************
it's NOT offered anymore, anywhere. Get the one year extension of stay as Married to Thai by meeting the requirements for the Non O Visa as Married to Thai and the one year extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office.Andrew ***************

CheersJames ********
You can enter Thailand as Visa Exempt Entry, 60 days. And one 30 day extension of stay... Plus one family visit extension of stay for 60 days. BUT at some point, Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand may question you about getting the Correct Thai Visa for your visits to family in Thailand.
