Good Morning from the US,  

I have recently applied for a Non-O Visa online (intending to eventually get a Marriage Visa), as we (my Thai wife and I) will be flying into Bangkok on Sept 30th.  

I was curious if anyone else from the US has recently applied on line for a Non-O Visa ?

If so, what was your wait time to hear back ? 

Appreciate any feedback.

Thank You,

Joe

Non O is a marriage visa. Once you get to Thailand you'll then bank your 400K and apply for a 1 year extension of stay.

I got one in February this year from Los Angeles online in exactly 2 weeks. Make sure the Immigration Officer stamps you in correctly, they stamped me in as a 60 day exempt while holding a copy of my Evisa The Immigration Office in Hua Hin had to change it for me so I could get a bank account.
