Hi guys,
Can anyone please advise regarding getting the marriage spouse visa.
I’m just getting my marriage certificate done with my wife this Friday.
The immigration officer from Chaengwattana has asked me to :
1. Firstly, extend my tourist visa (expiring on Sept. 30th) and then later
2. Get an extension for ‘visiting spouse visa’ so I can later apply for the marriage visa (non-o)
A bit confused and wondering if anyone went through something similar?
Thanks in advance 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on obtaining a marriage spouse visa in Thailand after getting married. They are currently on a tourist visa set to expire on September 30 and have been advised by the immigration office to extend their tourist visa first, then apply for a visiting spouse visa before applying for the marriage visa (Non-O). Several commenters offer their experiences and suggestions on the necessary steps, including the requirement to be married for two months before applying for the in-country Non-O visa and an alternative option to apply for a single entry Non-O visa from a Thai consulate abroad.
