Hi Guys.
I'm just after some advice please. I want to apply for the non immigrant o visa but my timings are tight for when our family wants to move to Thailand and when my new job starts in Asia. Ideally I want to apply to the Thai embassy online in London. But due to not knowing what date and flight I need to book at the moment I can't complete the application form as it asks for a flight number. We're either moving at the end of this month or August so I can't book myself a flight at the moment. It's straightforward for my wife and daughters as they'll just enter on Thai passports.
If I simply entered Thailand on a visa exemption with my UK passport what is the process I would need to do to then apply for a non immigrant o based on marriage once I'm in Thailand. We're moving to Udon Thani so nearest Thai embassies will be Vientiane or Savvanaket. In my first 30 days should I just cross the border into Laos with my wife and apply at one of these 2 embassies?
Thanks
