ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a question regarding my Non-O marriage visa application. I submitted it last week and I just got an email from The consulate asking for an “INVITATION LETTER” from my immediate Thai family, ie spouse, mother in law, whatever. So has anyone heard of this invitation letter and if so what is the best way to have my wife write it so it will be accepted by them? Thanks in advance! 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Rick I just submitted my application 3 days ago, and I didn’t see anything on the application about a letter, also there was no fee to pay is that right, I thought that was a little strange

It comes and goes, just have her write a letter in Thai inviting you to Thailand based on being married. I didn’t need one at time of travel but did my first attempt that I withdrew from

Very simple done, this is how my wife wrote it:

"Me her name, invite my husband your name to stay with me in Thailand on this her address from the date you land in Bangkok kind regards her name"

I had to have one years ago. Just a signed letter from your thai wife inviting you to live with her in Thailand.
