Thank you for all advices given here.

My experience applying Non Immi O based on marriage thru e-Visa Thai Embassy Kuala Lumpur.

27th July - Submitted application

28th July - Thailand public holiday

29th July - Requested additional document, full pages of my passport cramp into PDF for less than 3MB

30th July - Pending document check

31st July - 4pm+- Pending approval

31st July - 5.53pm Approved

I’m actually quite surprised on fast approval, despite some people telling that Thai Embassy Kuala Lumpur is one of the hardest place for e-Visa applications

Again, millions of thanks for the advices and support given in here appreciate that 🙏🏻

- Document indicating current location, if you Malaysian MyKad is sufficient

-Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current (LATEST) balance of 400,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)

- Personal details of a family in Thailand (e.g., ID card, passport

and the visa page or stay permit in Thailand)

Yes, based on marriage.

-Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current (LATEST) balance of 400,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)

What kind of sponsor letter? I use statements of Bangkok Bank Thailand.

- Proof of relationship to a family in Thailand (e.g., a copy of marriage certificate/birth certificate/certificate of adoption

Do i need to translate my Thailand marriage certificate and my spouse birth certificate to english?

- And prepare for additional requested document such as full pages of your passport in PDF format not more than 3mb file.

Full pages? Is it every page of passport ?

Appreciated for the help.

I believed you Malaysian? Coz I’m too. I submitted my local MY bank statement, showing latest 1 month with balance more than 400k Baht.

You already have Thai bank account under your name ?

No need translate if you already have Thai marriage certificate just submit that one.

Yes they requested every page including the blank one in PDF not more than 3mb. This is additional document they requested after I submitted my application.
