Hello all,

Tried doing a search here but couldn't find anything definitive...

I am legally married to a Thai citizen and have a Thai marriage certificate.

1. Can I apply for the ‘marriage visa’ (Non-O) in the Immigration office in Bangkok on a 60 day visa-exempt stamp? Some websites mentioned that I have to start the Non-O Visa application in my home country, hence my confusion.

2. If it’s possible to start the process in Bangkok, which Immigration office in Bangkok should I go to?

Thanks for your patience and advise

I’m trying to get my visa(s) without the use of a visa service. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am planning to move to Thailand with my family in early August 2025.

I married a Thai woman in Thailand in 2014, she has been with me in the USA since Dec. 2015. She holds dual Thai/USA citizenship. We have an 8-year old daughter born in USA and has Thai birth certificate.

I am seeking 90-day Non O visa which I will convert 1-year Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa when I arrive in Thailand. I also need a 90-day Non O visa for my daughter who will then apply for Thai passport once in Thailand. Have I got this right? Thanks for any help.

Chaengwattana extension - staying with Thai Wife

If anyone is interested, here is a copy of the documents required list from Chaengwattana for extension on reason of Thai wife, received May 2025. Document is dated October 2023.

PS: Last year information counter told me to get the form from section L. Yesterday section L told me to get the form from Information counter (which is much better as it's much faster).

Went to Bangkok Bank, Koh Chang, this afternoon. Tried withdrawal but ATM said no. Went in Bank and they said account frozen . Had to go back with 5 year DTV visa, passport and the two year lease agreement we just signed on a house. Luckily they were happy with this and un-froze account.

If my relationship with my Thai gf becomes more serious, and I want to marry and return with her to live in the UK, is it possible to get her residency?

Do we have to prove the relationship?

Any advice? Just in case this happens.

Today went for my extension and got

Thai wife extension under investigation stamped.

Must come back on 16 may, we are married since feb 2011 and my wife stayed with me for many years in Germany.

What can I expect from immigration?

Thx

I am currently in Thailand on a 60 exemption visa. My Thai wife wants to go Loa for a few days. Will I have any issues re-entering Thailand?? Will i get a new 30 day exemption visa when I re-enter

Wish to check. Having a Thai marriage visa is eligible for yearly tax return when I work in Thailand ? I'm currently on working visa now and got to know I'm not eligible for tax return if I continue to be on working visa.

My online 90 day report was rejected even though it was on time and this wasn’t 1st report since arrival to Thailand. Wife called to the immigration officer who visited our house couple weeks ago and she was told that it’s ok and I can do in person 90 day report on the 30th May. I’ve got my doubts about reliability of this information but I would appreciate if I don’t have to spend whole day traveling to the immigration office and back.

Question: Am I fine doing it in the end of May or should I go this week?

Hi team, I am brand new to the group. Appreciate you allowing me to join.

I retired in the UK recently at 60 and came over here on the visa on arrival. I already have a house with my Thai wife in Bang Saray. I now need to apply for my retirement visa.

I have had a Thai bank account for a few years and can show I have enough funds. We have taken some pictures together in different rooms in our house, the garden and in front of the house number. I believe I also need a pinned google map showing the house location. That’s as far as I have got.

Can I please ask what else I need ?

Cheers,

Paul
