What should I consider when applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage while moving to Thailand?

@John ********

no you don't need photos of where you live, but depending on which immigration office you use, you will need to draw a very basic map of the location of your rented accommodation.

@John ********

just ask they very helpful

@John ********

buriram immigration it's easy 15 minutes for paperwork, it's not difficult, but obviously upto you, good luck either way

my wife also from buriram? I want to apply for 1 years extension I have non o visa now..can you tell me what documents we need for apply extension?..I hear 400k funds for marriage I should 2 month old am I right?

@Yee ****

yes, wife's I'd card, house book, photos of you and wife inside house outside house, a map on how to get to your house just a quick drawing is fine, marriage certificate, a kor ror 2 certificate,which you get from your local government office confirming your still married, a bank statement on the day showing you have the funds, just ask the bank they will no what to give you, if you have kids there birth certificates and I'd cards

@John ********

but you said you are entering on a Non-O based on marriage so the first extension must be based on marriage then in subsequent years you can change the reason

@John ********

your wife is listed in a house book. It is not meant to show where she lives. It is further proof she is a Thai citizen. It is required.

@John ********

a totally different document. It has absolutely nothing to do with where you live, or are going to live. As a Thai citizen your wife was listed in a house book. A copy of that listing is required for the original 90 day visa, AND required for the one year extension. The lease of where you live, and pictures, have absolutely nothing to do with the house book she is listed in. She should know all about it, or her relatives do.

@John ********

after you get to Bangkok on the type O 90 day visa immediately open a Thai bank account in your name only, then go to immigration at Chaing Wattana, with your wife, and get the list of required documents, and pictures needed for your one year extension after the bt400,000+ has been in that bank account for at least two months, giving you time to get the rest of the documents required. Every time you go to immigration concerning your marriage visa extension always take your wife with you, or they won't talk to you, as they will tell her things in Thai that are not on the list, but required. That is how you do it. Don't try to overthink it. I'm still not sure you understand about the housebook she is listed in as a Thai citizen.

@Neil *******

only for the first online o-visa application in uk than move the money to the thai bank account you get as soon as possible when you get to Thailand it has to be in the account for 2months first time of application,"marriage "three months 400,000 buats

Not rich ,used it in the thai bank as application in UK said it could be in a uk or thai bank for o visa application then apply for the yearly extention using the 400,000 buats in thai bank account which was already in the account (400,000 buats must be careful not to fall under the 400,000 buats if possible)but must be there for three months before renewal)be aware of the cost of withdrawing and account charges not shore how much?and debit card charges? 300 buats ok pal
