What are the requirements and conditions for the Multi-Entry Non-Immigrant O Visa based on marriage in Thailand?

I just got this visa on the 7th from America

. I fly back on Tomorrow to Thailand. You have to leave every 90 days. They don’t come to your home.

Okay, you are NOT gonna get a year extension based on marriage (where you don't have to leave the country) without meeting the proof of funds (400K baht in a thai bank account in your name for 2 months before you apply for the extension) without living with your wife, having her go to the immigration office when you apply for the extension AND having her be there when they do the in home inspection visit during the 30 days your application for a yearly extension goes under consideration.

IF you can meet those criteria, you CAN apply for an extension IF you cannot meet them then a yearly extension based on marriage is out.

Your option then is to get the year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage from any thai consulate you want that sells it. It will required you to bounce out and back in ever 90 days, <- that's just how that visa works. BUT immigrations will not come to your house, you don't show proof of funds, and you don't need to live with your wife.

The year long multi-entry Non-O visa is probably the best "fit" visa wise given your circumstances.

I will be going to savanakhet in December. My marriage visa original is in English from Canada. I also have had to translated but Thai immigration. Should I take both of them with me?

If you plan on extending this (based on marriage) There are other sets of "requirements". Best to ask your immigration office of residence for a list.

I literally just did this yesterday in Savannakhet, though my original marriage certificate is in Thai, and can verify everything Robert wrote is true.........

Easy ways to apply for this 1 year visa is at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet Laos or HCMC in Vietnam as these consulates do not ask for financial proofs. You apply in the morning and get your visa next day in the afternoon. As you apply at a Thai Consulate, they do not sent Thai Immigration out to check if you live together at one place. I can not tell if Immigration will visit houses on checks for visa, address registrations etc in the future, I know in some areas Immigration goes out to do random checks. These are the requirements for this visa: Needed documents for 1 year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on married with Thai National:

2 Passport pictures

Original Wedding certificate

Copy wedding certificate front and back (signed by both)

Copy ID wife front and back, signed by her

Copy blue house book address and name page signed by wife.

Copy ID page passport singed by yourself

Fee 5.000 Thb.

In HCMC you also need a letter from your wife, with your name and passport details, her name and ID details to ask the Consul to give you the Visa as she like you to stay with her for another year.

And as I just saw on another page, signed copies are certified copies, you DO NOT have to translate the Thai into English and the English into Thai and get those notified by your Embassy and then stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

you only can get the 1 year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O Visa based on being married to a Thai National at a Thai Consulate and these are only outside Thailand. With this type of visa you're only allowed for sections of 90 days inside Thailand, no need to report that you are that long or even longer inside as you have to leave the country. Immigration does not visit your house and as not living together is a problem, I would not know.
