What documents do I need to apply for a marriage visa in Thailand and when can I apply?

Question

Hi All. I hope everyone had a nice Songkran. My phone didn’t survive it! Sadly 💦

Quick question.

I’m currently in Thailand on a 90 day non O. I plan to apply for my marriage visa at my local immigration office in Nonthaburi on day 60 (I heard you maybe able to do it after 45 days, not sure if that’s true?) So I take with me:

- My passport 
- My wife will be with me so she’ll have her Thai i.d
- Marriage Certificate/documents 
- Supporting documents as proof of the 400,000 bht security deposit in a Thai bank account are as follows:
    *  Updated bank book or passbook.
    *  Bank letter stating that the money was deposited to the account from an overseas source not less than 2 months prior.

Anything else I need to bring with me or is that it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Did you marry in Thailand or overseas.. additional documents are required if your marriage certificate is not in Thai.. such as a Kor Ror 22.

In Pattaya they asked for 4 pictures, made by neighbours in front and in your house and a google maps printout of the location of your house. In addition they mentioned that it might be necessary to bring two neighbour to the immigration office, who can testify that you are living with your spouse... Fortunately I was allowed to skip this... And the letter from your bank has to be written the same day as your application at Pattaya Immigration...

3 months minimum of bank statements. House book.

Tod ********* · Answer

There is no proof the funds come from abroad when getting a year extension on a non-O visa based on marriage and the bank letter doesn't have anything but your name, passport, account number and the balance they day they write the letter,

You also need to have them print out a 3 month detail transaction report (they can do it on demand) that's what immigrations will use (in addition to your bank book) to see that the balance was above 400k baht for 2 months before you apply for the extension

Tod ********* · Answer

Definitely GO to the Nonthaburi Immigration office with your thai wife well before you're going to apply for the year extension and get the hand out listing the exact requirements from that office

Also make sure you have a TM30 filed showing you're registered as staying in the area served by the Nonthaburi Immigration office too

Nonthaburi allows you to apply 45 days before.

Jack ******** · Answer

You might have trouble getting that letter I am not sure. You can also ask for ‘credit advice’ which are statements that show incoming transfers.
