Hi guys.
Sorry if I get confused with the terminologies about visas and entries, please correct me if I do. I'm Brazilian, I can stay 90 days visa free as a tourist (I don't need to go to any embassy or need evisa to enter Thailand, the bilateral agreement has been set a couple of years ago and it's never changed)
I have some questions, I think they're common but different in their own way (same same but diffelant)
1 - is there any limit on the 90 days, non-o single entry visa based on marriage? I want to marry my gf, but I can't prove I have 400k in my account. She and her family are ok with me being "poor" falang, we already sorted out the personal issues of dowry and wedding. I'm worried about the immigration office and passport control. The point is that if I live with her and have a place to stay I can save money eventually and have the 400k baht in the near future
2 - I have stayed maybe around 5 months in Thailand last year in total. In 2023 I entered in January, left in March, and stayed one and a half month away. Came back in May and left in August. Do you think I may have any problems when coming back now by air? I'll buy a ticket out of Thailand just in case
3 - Can I apply for a work permit if I have the 90 days non-o single entry based on marriage? I doubt it, since it's very little time and it doesn't seem interesting for the kingdom. I work remotely, but I'd like some extra work
TIA 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Brazilian citizen can enter Thailand visa-free for 90 days, but for a Non-O visa based on marriage, they need to demonstrate financial stability with 400,000 baht. While it is possible to apply for the Non-O in a consulate outside Thailand, the requirement of 400k can pose a challenge if not met. Frequent visa runs can give time to accumulate the necessary funds. Additionally, once granted the Non-O visa based on marriage, one can apply for a work permit in Thailand.
