ORIGINAL POSTER

For info - travelled on 90 day Non o visa issued by London Thai embassy - LHR to BKK via Eva Air 12/10/24 my ticket had return date of 24/3/25 (163 days) 

In LHR Eva didn't ask to see visa, boarded with no issues. In BKK passport stamped with 90 day and no questions asked about 163 day return date. (Was ready to explain I was applying for Marriage Visa in Dec for 12 month)

Just my experience.

You will not be applying for a Marriage Visa in December, you already have your Marriage Visa so it December you will be applying for a 12 month Extension of Stay based on marriage.

You were lucky, but you post it here and other people may think that this is normal procedure but it is not!! The airliner can refuse you on the flight when you don’t can show that you will leave in Thailand before the end date of your visa or visa excemt period

Not with non-O. It's a long stay visa.
