Spousal Visa

Question what happens if you have a small apartment can you just take pictures outside of the apartment and pictures of us inside, we have actually been married for almost 2 years I've made several trips to Thailand already but I had to leave last April about a year ago to go back to the US to work and liquidate I am retired but I'm working on a couple houses right now and I will not be back until the latter part of 2027 or 28 hopefully immigration does not have any issues with older photos, we were legally married in Thailand with all documents, and I have passport stamps reflective of a retirement Visa that expired this past December I understand I have to go through the whole process again apply for the non 0 and start over with the spousal Visa I currently have two Thai bank accounts , will they require a background check from my country is it something I need to bring with me ?

Thank you so much for your help

Love and peace to all

90 Day for spouse

We have done our 90 day report online since 2 years now. But now we moved ( Landlord already registered us with the new adress).

We know that we have to do our next 90 day report in person for one time, than we can request online again.

BUT can I do the report for my husband or must he also go in person. I know that this was possible, but maybe the rule have changed.

I am a little confused on how to apply for my Non-0 visa .

My current visa ends next month and I will be getting a spousal visa through my Thai husband .

Our local immigration told my husband that it would be best to call and make an appointment in Laos to get it.

The website to make an appointment is down and no one has answered several numbers we have tried.

From research it seems we must apply online with the e-visa system .

I am in Thailand currently so do I need to exit the country to submit the e-visa form? Or can I do it from here ? I am assuming I must leave.

If I go to Laos or Viatnam do I also need to have an appointment at the embassy there ?

We read that it can take two weeks to approve so if we apply from there , I guess we just wait outside of Thailand until it’s approved.

I hope I am explaining this well just trying to figure out if we need to do both E-visa and make an appointment at the embassy.

Thanks!

Non O 90 days visa is it possible to get one once a year?

I am now on non O 1 year extension until September 26 2026.

After 3 months in Thai, on that extension, I do not really see why would I be in Thai for longer than that.

While on that Non O extension, I got my Yellow Book, Thai Pink ID (for foreigners), Thai Driving licence and Kasikorn bank account.

I own our condo in Bangkok, no rent. Never change my address, no new TM30.

The scenario would be: stay in Thai July-August-September (on the current Non O extension), return to Japan (where we own our condo) and come again (after that Non O exipres) for 60 days visa exempt (January-February).

Then, apply for another Non O to stay in Thai 90 days (July-August-September).

My wife, (local marriage in Thai) is Thai national.

Can I get a new Non -O every year, once per year , and then return after several months absence from Thai, on a 60 days exemption?

That way, I think, my 850K THB in my Kasikorn account could be used for daily expenses, might last for years. Not frozen with the bank and Immigration, while I do not want to be in Thai for the whole year.

We live in Japan, the place is as central as the Lumpini park in Bangkok, a desirable place to live at.

I will be coming to Thailand in January on my non-O 90 day visa to subsequently apply for my spousal visa. After arrival, my plan is to quickly set up a bank account and immediately deposit more than 400k baht. I also plan to set up another bank account and begin immediately transferring more than 40k baht from the US every month. I thought that after the end of the 90 days and after approval of the one year spousal extension, I could then withdraw the 400k and continue the monthly transfers. I thought that before the end of the one year, I would have a record of more than 12 monthly transfers and all would be good. However, I was recently advised that I would still need the 400k in the first account to get the second year extension. Is that correct?

Hi everyone, has anyone applied for a DTV from California with a spouse and 2 children? I cannot find solid information regarding how much we need to have in our bank account for the 4 of us. My 2 kids are under 10 years old.

I see a few articles and blogs saying we need to show proof we have 500,000 THB for the primary applicant - but I also see some articles stating we will need to show proof that we have 2,000,000 THB for the 4 of us. Eek.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

DTV Approved ✅

My wife and I applied from Bali at the Jakarta Embassy.

Thanks to all the information found in this group, it all went smoothly.

My wife (British) applied as the main applicant as a remote worker (our business is under her name).

We provided:

* Location: boarding pass, card on arrival, grab receipt from the airport to our Airbnb, Airbnb reservation.

* Finances: 3 months of bank statements (from a Wise account).

* Work: documents about the LLC + 6 months of contracts and invoices showing regular work with multiple clients outside of Thailand.

Applied on October 15th, approved on the 24th.

I (French) then applied as a dependent/spouse.

We provided:

* Location: same, with a newer Gojek receipt from the day I applied.

* Marriage certificate + translation.

* Finances: same bank statements + a letter from my wife stating that the money is for the both of us.

Applied on the 24th, approved on November 4th.

I used ChatGPT to write some things for each section.

Thank you for everyone here for the precious information which made our applications smooth and easy!
