Marriage visa

I got married yesterday and currently I’m on a METV valid until 20 May. I already have a Thai bank account with 400,000 THB deposited for about a month.

What are my options to obtain the initial 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage?

Can I convert my current visa to the 90-day Non-O while staying in Thailand, or do I need to leave the country and apply from a Thai embassy/consulate?

If conversion inside Thailand is possible, are there any specific requirements or timing issues I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for any advice 🙏

I'm 58 in October what visa can a apply for to live in Thailand I plan to marry my Thai girlfriend next September

I want to apply for a marriage visa what is the best process and once granted can you leave Thailand and return for say a month or so

Hello,

if I renew my non-immigrant O visa (marriage) in Phuket and a few weeks later we move to another province, do we only do a TM30 in that other district or do we have to redo the entire immigration process?

Thank you

I’m not sure if this is a stupid question or not.

If you are on a retirement visa and subsequently marry a Thai woman, are you obliged to change to a marriage visa?

Non-Immigrant O Visa report

I tried to covert from a METV (6 month) to a Non-Immgrant O (spouse) visa at Wattana and didn't have much luck. I was given reasons for the denial that aren't actual requirements (need to be married for 3 months, no Thai bank account, home photos a little too small) and told I should "find someone to help me".

Anyway, made the run to Vientiane Laos and it was easy. Apply online once you arrive, go the office to pay your 2,000 baht fee, wait for the email with your visa. Would have taken just 3 days if it weren't for the consulate being closed for Songran, and the weekend.

Only needed half the documents, all PDF. 7 days total time. Easy. They'll want color copies of your marriage certs, and your spouses Thai ID with a signature and date at the bottom. It's a little work to get your files down to the 3MB limit.

I ran into a few DTV applicants at my hotel, they seemed to be happier with the process, and expected they'd have theirs in a day two as well.

Hello, if i get a non imm o evisa whilst out of thailand, can i apply for the year extension due to marriage as soon as i arrive in thailand, or do i have to wait until the last month of my 90 day stamp. Thanks.

Applying for a non o visa in my own country, (NZ) then on arrival will apply for a marriage visa. Question..is the marriage certificate in English acceptable at immigration or does it have to be translated to Thai .thankyou

In February I entered Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption with the intention to marry my Thai fiancee in that time frame, which I did on March 19th.

I then went to the local Immigration office to change my status from Tourist to Spouse of a Thai National and get the 12 month Non Immigrant O visa.

I was told you cannot do this while you are in Thailand, you must leave the Kingdom and apply at a Thai Embassy in a foreign country, so I left and am now back in UK and will apply in due course via the London Embassy.

I am aware of what documents I need to produce online, it appears that I can submit my last 3 months UK bank statements as proof that I have a minimum income of 40,000Thb per month.

Has anyone in the group any recent experience of this with London/UK if so was it straight forward and hassle free, and how long did it take for the initial 90 day Non immigrant to be issued?

Greatly appreciate any feedback 🙏

Hello everyone,

Currently I'm staying in Thailand on a tourist visa (visa free with my passport) and we got married 1,5 week ago. I tried to apply for the Non-O visa at one of the immigration offices in the area of Bangkok, but they told me I need a Thai bank account in order to apply. The ironic thing is that I can't open a Thai bank account without a Non-O visa, so it can't be more contradictive than this.

Anyway they told me I should apply from outside Thailand at the online E-visa portal and they require a passport stamp in order to show proof of current location. I just remember that for example Indonesia doesn't stamp passports anymore and I'm not sure either about Malaysia these days. Laos and Vietnam are always an option for sure (I know they give stamps), but we prefer to travel to Malaysia or Indonesia.

So any advice on this matter is more than welcome guys. Has done something like this before in order to apply for a Non-O visa online outside his home country? And if yes, which country is the most suitable one?

Also more important after what I mentioned about stamping the passport. What kind of evidence did you add in the application where they ask for 'document indicating current location'? And what if the country doesn't stamp your passport? Can it also just be a hotel reservation or something?
