What are the requirements for applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage, and what is the process for extensions and reporting?

@Tod ********

ok thanks

@Paul ******

you will come here, get your year extension and then buy either a single re-entry permit (1000baht) which lets you exit/re-enter ONCE or you can buy a multiple re-entry permit (3800baht) which lets you exit/re-enter all you want for the year your extension is valid.

@Paul ******

if you are getting the Non-O visa from a thai consulate before you come the requirements for that visa category are between you and the consulate you're applying for it at.

SO read the requirements for that visa they have posted.

You need to stop thinking of visas from a consulate outside thailand and extensions inside thailand as being related to each other, they are not

Visas OUTSIDE the country are sold at the embassies/consulates who are run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office

Visas/extensions INSIDE the country are sold at the immigration offices run by the Immigration Division of the Royal Thai Police

Those are two completely different gov't agencies and have nothing to do with one another

@Paul ******

no problem it's just comparing visa criteria outside the country to visas/extension criteria inside the country are like comparing apples to durian 😛

Good luck with what you're doing you have a sound plan in place (y)

@Paul ******

hang about.. You're confusing a single entry VISA with a multiple entry visa <- the ones you get from the thai consulate in your country,.

We are talking about re-entry permits you BUY INSIDE thailand at the immigration office after you get a yearly extension of stay.

IF you have a single entry visa and come in to thailand buying a re-entry permit isn't gonna add any time to the stamp you get when you entered 🙁

@Paul ******

to confuse me lol

@Paul ******
