Hi folks just wanted to get the latest on which embassies outside of Thailand can offer the multiple entry Non O marriage visa. Singapore had it for years, removed it, recently brought it back, then removed it again :(.
Coming in on a single then extending inside Thailand is not an option due to the 60 day inside country ( before you can apply ) criteria as I work on rotation. Very frustrating as I'm sure this effects a large number of people who bring in good money to the country. Coming in on a single every time, applying 21 days before online will just not work, that method would also require me to have 400k locked up for the entire year.
I will be working in Australia next month for a little while if that helps ,?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the difficulties in obtaining a multiple entry Non-O marriage visa outside Thailand, with specific mention that Singapore has fluctuated in its offerings of this visa. The original poster expresses frustration over the inability to extend a single entry visa from within Thailand due to the 60-day rule, especially as they work on rotation in Australia. Several commenters clarify that currently, only a 90-day Non-O visa can be obtained, and to extend it for one year, one needs to meet certain conditions, including keeping a minimum of 400,000 baht in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to applying. The notion that one must stay for 60 days before applying for the extension is also addressed.
