ORIGINAL POSTER

I’m going to apply for my non o spouse visa. I just have one concern re the bit that asks proof of relationship to a family in Thailand. I have a marriage certificate but my husband is currently residing here in U.K. with me . And I was going to send council tax bill as proof of adddress in U.K. which has both our names on.  Should I get another utility bill that shows only my name?  Or am I overthinking this? Anyone done this recently same senario? TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The applicant is concerned about providing proof of relationship for their non O spouse visa application, given their husband is currently residing in the UK. They have a marriage certificate and plan to include a council tax bill with both names as proof of address. Comments from others suggest that the marriage certificate suffices for proof of relationship, and they recommend submitting both documents but reassure that including a bill only in the applicant's name is not necessary.

I recently did my non O 90 days based on Thai marriage (proof was Thai Marriage certificate). They weren't happy with my photo and my pension statement, so they asked me for alternatives. So there's no need to worry when you submit evidence, as they are helpful in my experience.

The proof of relationship is your marriage certificate to a thai 🙂 That's all they care about,

The proof of where you are can be anything and that it has your thai husbands name on it shouldn't make a difference, although if it makes you feel better about the application you can use a bill only in your name.

I would say you're over thinking it just a bit and will have no problem with the application.

Good luck with it (y)
