ORIGINAL POSTER

I entered Thailand on a visa exempt, extended my visa for 30 days.  The immigration officer I saw told my wife for us to come back for a 90 day 'O' visa. My question is what documentation will be required,  for the 90 day 'O' visa I already have sufficient funds in a Thai bank, but it would not be in for the 60 days prior to applying for the 90 day.  If granted after the 90 day visa I can then apply for a retirement visa as we were told we would have to go to Bangkok for a Marriage/Spouse visa.

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user entered Thailand on a visa exempt status and extended it for an additional 30 days. They were advised to apply for a 90-day 'O' visa, specifically for marriage, and inquired about necessary documentation. Although they have sufficient funds in a Thai bank, these funds may not meet the 60-day seasoning requirement prior to the application. Comments clarify that for the 90-day 'O' visa based on marriage, it is essential to align the extension with this reason, and details on Phuket office requirements were shared, noting no seasoning is needed for an in-country application.

Sorry I misread your question. If you are applying for a non o based on being married you need to get an extension (at least the first one) for that same reason.

If you apply for the non o based on being retired then you can apply for a extension based on that.

These are the requirements for the Phuket office. Bangkok will be similar, but may not be exactly the same.

There is no seasoning required for funds when apply for a in country non O. They need to be seasoned when that 90 day visa is running down and you go apply for the year extension of stay based on being married.
