What documents do I need for my 1 year Thai wife visa stamp and multi-entry permit?

The stage your at you shouldn't need any documentation, other than your passport (which should have your 90 day report receipt in it, if applicable). For the extension, Brandon has supplied the checklist.

Congratulations on getting your initial 20-day Thai wife visa!

For the 1-year visa stamp and multi-entry permit, you'll need to provide some documentation, but it's typically not as extensive as the initial visa application. Here's a general idea of what you might need:

1-Year Visa Stamp

1. *Passport*: Your valid passport with at least 18 months' validity.

2. *Marriage Certificate*: A certified copy of your marriage certificate, translated into Thai (if not already in Thai).

3. *Proof of Income*: Documentation showing your income, such as a pension statement, bank statement, or employment letter.

4. *Health Insurance*: Proof of health insurance that covers you in Thailand (check with your insurance provider to ensure it meets Thai requirements).

5. *Police Certificate*: A police certificate from your home country or a Thai police certificate (if you've been living in Thailand).

Multi-Entry Permit

1. *Passport*: Your valid passport with at least 18 months' validity.

2. *1-Year Visa Stamp*: You'll need to have the 1-year visa stamp in your passport before applying for the multi-entry permit.

3. *Application Form*: A completed application form for the multi-entry permit.

4. *Photographs*: Recent passport-sized photographs.

5. *Fee*: The application fee for the multi-entry permit (currently 3,800 THB).

It's essential to note that requirements might vary depending on your specific situation and the immigration office you're dealing with. It's always a good idea to:

- Check with the Thai immigration office or embassy/consulate in your home country for the most up-to-date requirements.

- Bring all original documents and certified copies, as well as photocopies.

- Have all documents translated into Thai, if necessary. You should also consider reading a book or two before your travel.. I'd recommend a book "Thailand Unveiled 2024-2025" by James Anderson on Amazon..it has all the info and recommendations you need..you should check it out 😀

Are you saying you have the initial 90 days and are going back to apply for the 1 year extension? If so then you will basically need all the same documents to get the 1 year extension that you needed to get the initial 90 days.

If you are saying you applied for the 1 year extension and got the typical 30 day under consideration stamp and simply need to go back to get the other 11 months stamped in then you will just need to show up with your passport.

I guess you mean the initial 90 days Non O visa based on being married to a Thai? You can apply for a re-entry permit for the 90 days at your immigration or the airport at 1000 baht. If that’s your point.

Regarding the one year extension of stay the requirements varies a bit between the different immigrations so I suggest you’ll get handed over the requirements at your particular immigration before you apply. Regarding financial requirements the 400K baht has to be seasoned for two months before you apply unless you apply with an affidavit letter from your embassy regarding income. You can apply for multiple re-entry permits on the one year extension of stay on a TM.8 form at 3800 baht.

You should only need your passport and the blue receipt when you go back to get your full stamp. Re-entry permit can vary from office to office but here's a generic list.
