Hi guys, this may have been asked already and I apologize for that.

One year visa base on marriage.

Please I need to know updated informations about the documentation needed to apply and the time needed to get it done for an Italian.(I don't know if it's different for different passports)

Next week finally me and my Thai girlfriend will marry! But I'm short with times, I'm afraid I won't get another tourist visa.

Thank you very much to anyone that will help me.

Wish you all a good day.

A user is seeking updated information on the necessary documentation and processing times required for applying for a one-year marriage visa (NON-O) in Thailand as an Italian citizen.

Okay, there's some misinformation being shared  

Despit what
@Chi***
, provided to the thai consulate at Savannakhet to get her Non-O visa, a LOT of that isn't required at all.

That a consulate takes documentation above and beyond what's required doesn't mean you needed to turn in that stuff. Thai officials LIKE paperwork so they're unlikely to give back anything extra you hand in.

In Savannakhet for a Non-Immigrant Type O visa based on marriage to a thai national (for foreign men or foreign women) you need;

copies of;

thai wife's thai i/d card (front & back on one page)

thai wife's house book listing

the two marriage certificates (Kor Ror 2 & 3)

the data page of your passport

You also need;

original rose bordered marriage certificate

two passport sized photos

your passport and the application for the visa.

Those things along with 2000baht will get you a 90 day single entry Non-O or pay 5000 baht and get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O

Your wife signs anything with her name on it, you sign anything with yours (meaning you BOTH sign the marriage certificate copies ;) )

Now those are NOT the things you need to go to the immigration office and get a yearly extension of stay from them so let's not get confused about that.

Ciao Francesco, io l'ho fatto a Savannaket 2 anni fa: blue book della casa, foto con amici al bar, al ristorante (almeno due foto diverse) stampate a colori, copia del blue book di un vicino di casa che ti conosca, copia del suo documento di identità firmato, copia del Khor Ror 2, copia del certificato di matrimonio (quello bello coi fiori) e originali solo da mostrare, passaporto tuo, copia del documento identità della sposa, tot fototessere. Essendo donna non ho dovuto presentare nessun conto in banca. Credo tutto, io avevo anche le carte della mia company perché lavoro e volevo tenere il wp con il non o. Se chiami a savannakhet sono molto gentili e ti dicono cosa portare.

. That's for a 1 year 'extention of stay' at a Thai immigration office, not for a visa obtained at a Thai consulate.

@Francesco *****
i don't really know. I had to give them the copy of the blue book together with the signed ID card. And now that I remember the pictures of me and my husband outside of the house with the visible house number. When I then got the 1 year visa at the local immigration in Thailand police came to see if I truly lived where I said I was (probably you also have to have a map with GPS coordinates) and they took pictures of me and my husband in the house. The second time I renewed the visa, police came and I was not there and they went to question my neighbour if he knew me and stuff like that.

I went with the pictures and they took them. They probably liked them 🤔 financial proof is something farang women are not requested to show 🙂

At Savanakhet he doesnt need any photos with friends nor as a man does he need to show financial proof. He has a list of documents needed for either a single or multi non imm o visa based on marriage.
