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 the process of acquiring a marriage spouse visa in Thailand after getting married. They were instructed by an immigration officer to extend their tourist visa first and then apply for a visiting spouse visa to later convert to a marriage visa (Non-O). Comments suggest following the immigration officer's advice, highlight the requirement to be married for two calendar months before applying for the in-country Non-O visa, and mention an alternative option of obtaining a visa from a Thai consulate without the two-month requirement.
