What are the requirements for extending a Non-O visa based on marriage in Thailand?

Question

Hi all. I have a question re: the non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national.

If I obtain the initial non-O at Savannakhet / Ho Chi Minh (no financials), and then apply for a 1 year extension within 90 days here in Bangkok, what would I need to show re: income - i.e. is it a certain number of payslips or are they just looking to see an employment contract?

The reason that I ask is that my job is likely to start around the same time that I get the non-O. Thanks in advance!

The post discusses obtaining a Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national and the subsequent extension process. The user asks about the income documentation needed for a one-year extension within 90 days of entry after initially obtaining a Non-O visa at Savannakhet or Ho Chi Minh. The conversation highlights the possibility of extending the initial 90-day entry by 60 days, the need for payslips or employment contracts, and options for obtaining various visa types and their implications on work status.

Cheers Tod. That should give me enough time to get 3 payslips so that I can apply in-country for the 1 year extension. Just in case I decide to go the other route - i.e. get a type B and then convert to a non-O based on marriage - is this a straightforward process? I dont want to piss my new employer off!

[mention redacted], yep, you can extend that 90 day entry by 60 days under the "visit family" extension.

Hi Robert, Tod. One other thing occurred to me - am I correct in saying that if I was to obtain a Single Entry Non-O, that there is an option to extend the 90 days for another 60 days in country?

[mention redacted], you can use the thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City too for the Non-O without financials

Cheers Robert - thanks as always for the prompt guidance - much appreciated!

From what I read Savannakhet should be possible, I have no experience by doing this myself.

Ok great. Last question - can I get a Multiple Entry 1 year non-O at Savannakhet / HCM without financials?

Robert ******* · Answer

Than you need a Multiple Entry 1 year Non O visa, with a Single Entry you can not o border bounces to extend it.

Thanks Robert - so if I was to get the non-O in September, and then start work in October, I'd have to do 1 border bounce and get the extension in early 2018?

If you work for a company it is Income tax and social security payments from you and 4 Thai staff of the last three months. And a list of other documents: [url redacted]
