I’ve read all of the info I can find on here about moving off my O-A visa and obtaining a marriage visa. My understanding of my next steps is as follows - I hope someone who is more au fait than I with such matters can tell me if these steps are correct or not.
1. Leave Thailand without a re-entry stamp to void the O-A visa extension that I currently hold.
2. Apply at Thai Embassy (probably Penang or KL) for a 90 day Non-Imm O visa based on marriage (this I believe needs: Thai marriage certificate, my passport and wife’s Thai ID, copies of divorce certificates from prior marriages). My wife will be with me, so no need for a letter from her. (QUESTION - what evidence is needed about my having adequate income/funds in a Thai bank at this point?)
3. Return to Thailand and within 90 days apply at my local Immigration Office for a 12 month extension of the O visa based on marriage. I guess that Immigration will tell me what I need to provide as evidence of a sincere relationship + finances at this point?
