Hi, I am just starting the process of applying for a one year spousal visa and aiming to make the move to Thailand in march of next year. We are applying from the Uk and as I understand it I will need to apply for a Non O 90 day visa first which will give me 90 days when in Thailand to open up a bank account and also to find accommodation for the initial 90 days, hope I am right on this. We plan to make the spousal visa application in Thai for the one year extension and wonder what documents we should need on the one year application?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a one-year spousal visa after entering Thailand on a Non-O visa, you'll first apply for a Single Entry Non-O visa based on marriage. Once in Thailand, you'll need to open a bank account and deposit 400,000 THB for at least two months. Required documents for the one-year spousal visa application include: your passport, entry stamp, TM 6 form, TM 7 application form, TM 30 notification, your Thai spouse's ID and housebook, marriage certificate, Kor Ror 2 form, photos, and a processing fee. Be prepared for possible additional requirements from local immigration offices, such as maps and home visit confirmations.
