If I am a US citizen married in Thailand to a Thai citizen, would I change my name here or would I do it in the US? If I am applying for a Non-O marriage based visa would changing my last name affect that process? Should I just wait to change my last name until after I complete the visa process? Any suggestions? Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen married to a Thai citizen is inquiring whether to change their last name in Thailand or in the US, and whether this will affect their application process for a Non-O marriage visa. One comment suggests it may be best to postpone the name change until after the visa process to avoid complications, as changing the name would require a new passport.
