My husband plan to move to Thailand for long term. What is the best Thai visa that we need to request from Thai embassy in USA?? My understanding we should request N-O base on marriage, but not sure how we can maintain the visa for years.
- We are expecting a child.
- My husband is Amazon seller in US.
- I am Thai and we are living in US.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A suitable option for your husband's long-term move to Thailand is to apply for a Non-O visa based on marriage to you, a Thai national. He can obtain this visa at a Thai consulate in the USA. The Non-O visa allows for various extensions and can be maintained through border runs or by applying for an extension at a local immigration office after meeting certain conditions, such as maintaining a minimum balance in a Thai bank account. However, be mindful that online work (e.g., Amazon selling) requires a work permit in Thailand.
