What visa options are available for moving to Thailand as the spouse of a Thai citizen?

@Jacob *******

that is not correct, on a year-long, multi-entry VISA <- that you get from a thai consulate before you come here the O/P would have to EXIT/RE-ENTER the country every 90 days (not just check in with the immigration office)

@Stuart *********

if you're married to a thai many offices won't let you get the raising thai children extension which is why I gave him the "worst case" scenario of needing the 400K baht in the bank for 2 months for the marriage extension. Last thing I wanna do is tell him he doesn't need the funds seasoned only to find out his office won't let him get a raising children extension when he's married to thai 😉

@ Neil ******

r any way you do it, get the 90 day Non-O visa before you come and then go to your immigration office and see if they will let you do the year based on raising thai children rather than marriage to a thai. IF they will Stuart is correct you wouldn't need the 400K baht in the account for 2 months before you apply

@Ellie ******

IF they were married in the UK they need to get their marriage certificate certified at the office in Milton Keynes and then stamped by the thai embassy in london BEFORE they wing their way here, because there's no way to certify a marriage certificate of a foreigner/thai married in the UK without sending it back there. The UK embassy here doesn't do it any more

I took that picture from one of the translation shops here in thailand that says how it is done
