I have been on non-o marriage visas for several years. When my current visa will end, I plan to go out and apply for a tourist visa and enter Thailand on a tourist visa. Do you think i will be questioned? Even though I didn't enter Thailand as a tourist for several years. Has anyone done it and have experience to answer?
Answer summary
The individual has been living in Thailand on a non-O marriage visa for years and plans to switch to a tourist visa upon its expiration. They are concerned about being questioned at immigration since they have not entered Thailand as a tourist for an extended period. Responses from the community indicate varying opinions; some believe they may face scrutiny due to their history of visa status changes, while others suggest it should not present a significant issue since many have transitioned from a marriage visa to a tourist visa without problems. The discussion highlights different views on the possible consequences of such a switch.

I know what you mean. Spent a decade plus (married in Thailand), divorced, remarried (Thai again!), lived in a few other Asian countries plus another six yrs in Thailand... currently in Vietnam (working) but plan to see out my non working yrs in Thailand... being married is very difficult..., wish to be single sometimes... it's all about compromise... all I know is: never marry a girl who is/was connected to the bar scene....!
