What is the best visa option for a UK citizen married to a Thai national looking to stay in Thailand for 3 months?
A friend who is not on facebook uk citizen married to Thai lady wants to go for 3 months to thailand.Please can you advise best visa for him to get.Yes know about single entry for 60 days .Can this be extended for another 30 days .not going till end October so would qualify for 45 day visa
Answer summary
A UK citizen married to a Thai woman seeking to stay in Thailand for three months has several visa options. A single entry Non-O visa can be obtained for £60, allowing a stay of 90 days, which is cheaper than opting for a tourist visa (TR60) plus a 30-day extension. Alternatively, he could enter visa-exempt and apply for a 60-day extension, which also totals 90 days. Another option is to use a tourist visa with a 30-day extension, also resulting in 90 days of stay.

If he's married to a Thai lady he can get 90 days on a single entry Non O for £60 which works out cheaper and more convenient than a TR60 and 1 extension which would cost £30 plus 1,900 ( £45 )

@Lloyd *******
so if you think going to an IO is less convenient than submitting a non O application I'm baffled as you don't even have to post your passport anymore from many countries I had mine in less than 2 daysLloyd ********
or a visa exempt entry and a 60 visiting family extension = 90 days
Lloyd ********
yes indeed

Either a single entry tourist visa and a 30 day extension = 90 days
