What is the process for applying for a Non-O visa for my Dutch husband in Thailand?
Hello, I would like to ask for some advice. My husband is Dutch, and we have a marriage certificate as well as our child’s birth certificate. We are planning to live permanently in Thailand, and he will need a Non-O visa. However, I don’t have any knowledge about the process. Some people told me he should apply it himself , while others said better buy service from an agency. I’m still unsure and don’t have enough information. If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

you are welcome and remember...as soon as you arrive in Thailand, your husband has to open the bank account! I know that as soon as you Thai women return from abroad, you have to go visit all your relatives and friends, you have to introduce your husband to everyone 🤣😂 but think about opening the bank account first, it's important! Just out of curiosity...where are you going to live? My wife and I live in the province of Udon ThaniChrysanthemum *****

@Chrysanthemum ****
if he can open a bank account he can apply in Thailand, if he can't then Laos is a good plan. I'd visit your local immigration office with your husband and get their handouts for the various scenariosChrysanthemum *****
OP@John *********

OP@John *********

The Non-O based on retirement is the simplest visa to get in terms of requirements. Check out what you need to apply on the e-visa website.

OP@Pete ******
he not yet can do retirement 😅Graham ******
@Chrysanthemum ****
If he is under 50 them the retirement Non-O is not an option but married to a Thai or father to a half-Thai child are his options but the paperwork is greaterGraham ******
@Chrysanthemum ****
You will need to get your Non-O visas from outside of Thailand if you do not already have a Thai bank account that can be funded to meet the financial requirements (unless your Embassy still does the income affidavit)Chrysanthemum *****
OP@Graham *****
and they said he should go Laos to get NON O that process I totally don’t know howChrysanthemum *****
OP@Graham *****
“We have marriage certificate and a child together. Could you please tell me where I should look for information about the required documents — on the website or directly at the Immigration Office only ?”Activity
