Should I Switch to a Non-O Visa After Getting Married on an O-A Visa?

Good Luck in your endeavor (y)

I would follow Tod's advice and mail it in. Better chance of getting approved and not facing the possibility of getting a bitter Embassy agent who is having a bad day, as I did. I was denied in DC for no legitimate reason. Just wanted to make you aware of that...

, yep 5 days then you go back and pick up your passport OR you just mail the documents in to them and have a stamped return envelope in the packet and they mail your passport back to you with the visa in it

You wouldn't switch anything for at least the two years you can get out of a year-long multi-entry O-A visa. IF you come back on an O-A visa you'll get stamped in for a whole year from the date you arrive AND if you exit re-enter the country just before the VISA itself expires (a year from the date it was issued ) you will get stamped in for a whole NEW year meaning you can get TWO years of stay out of a visa that lasts for a year. That means IF you came back in April 2020 you'd get stamped in until April 2021 and if you exited and came back one more time just before the visa expired (say March 2021) you'd get a whole new year taking you to March 2022 before you needed to worry about "switching to any other type of visa or getting an extension at the immigration office"

You DO know that the O-A visa (which you get in your country from a thai consulate there requires proof of funds using the bank there, a police background check a medical certificate AND proof of meeting the thai health insurance requirements right? Also you know that ONLY 4 thai consulates in the US actually can issue an year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O-A visa; Chicago, Los Angeles, New York & Washington DC

24 minutes ago you did have an Non Immigrant O-A visa in your passport, now you have a tourist visa and like to fly to America?

Seeing changes so quick best is to ask after you actually got married.
