What are the costs for a 1-year visa for marriage or retirement in Thailand?

@Tod ********

I guess he got the Non-O he entered with, extended by 60-days Covid19 extensions all the way until now. He can change back to a 90 days Non-Imm-O inside the country or they might even allow him to skip that and apply for the 1-year extension straight away. I just spoke with a German yesterday who did exactly the same - entered with a multi entry Non-Imm-O and since he was unable to do border runs, has been on amnestyand Covid extensions since. They allowed him to apply for the 1-year EOS based on marriage, with financial proof though

@Gerald *******

you were told wrong, ALL extensions inside the country are 1900baht no matter how long they're issued for

You do NOT need a Non-O visa, you entered on one you said and you've been getting that extended since you arrived, SO all you're doing is applying for a year extension (retirement or marriage)

And then after that you would get a re-entry permit (single re-entry 1000baht multiple re-entry 3800 baht)

@Gerald *******

Okay, then you don't need to get anything other than a year extension of stay either based on marriage (where you need to have the 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name for 2 months before you apply) and a pile of paperwork (marriage certs, wifes documents, etc)

OR

You apply for an extension based on being over 50 (retirement) where you need to have 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the extension, then you keep the 800K baht in the account for 3 months after you get the extension and the balance can't go below 400K the rest of the year.

@Gerald *******

and what did you extend that 90 day Non-O for covid?

@Gerald *******

and as far as you leaving and coming back once you get the yearly extension granted you BUY a re-entry permit that lets you leave and come back without losing the extension you have.

@Gerald *******

, it is much more complicated to get a one-year extension based on marriage compared to based on retirement in respect to paper works, but possible if you carefully provide all the documents needed.

@Gerald *******

GO to your immigration office with your thai wife and get the hand out from them that lists the requirements of the retirement extension AND the marriage extension, then decide what one you want to go for.

BOTH are gonna take the funds in the account for 2 months before you can apply.

@Gerald *******

they only issue the 'visit family' extension ONE time per entry so if you got more than one 60 day extension you aren't on a family extension READ your stamp in your passport, if it has a 5 on it somewhere (written in pen usually) it's a covid extension NOT a visit family one
