ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A UK resident married to a Thai national seeking to stay in Thailand for 3-4 months may consider several visa options. The easiest method is to apply for a single entry tourist visa through the Thai consulate, granting an initial stay of 60 days, which can be extended by 30 days and then potentially by an additional 60 days for visiting family. Alternatively, obtaining a single entry 90-day Non-O visa based on marriage allows for an extension within Thailand, enabling a stay for up to a year with a re-entry permit. If one holds a valid Non-O visa and re-entry permit, they may also enter Thailand using the Thailand Pass. However, the validity of these permits should be checked, especially considering any lapses due to COVID-19.
