Hi, not sure if I complicated things for myself so just would like some information / sources of info.

1. I have a contract offer to work remotely for a foreign company as a freelancer.

2. I have a Thai marriage visa up for renewal soon. But the marriage visa alone doesn't allow for working in Thailand.

3. Is it a smart idea to move from the marriage visa to a DTV to be able to work remotely? Why or why not?

Thanks for any clarifications given.

Couple of questions if I may. I'm in Thailand now,on visa exempt. I'm married to a Thai for 22 years, she has UK citizenship. We've lived in the UK holidaying in Thailand amongst other places never staying more than 3 weeks so visa never been an issue. Now I've retired we want to spend longer in Thailand, maybe buy a place, we're thinking halk/half, UK winters in Thailand. UK summers in UK. We're here now and intention is to stay here until May, spending a month 6 weeks in various places while we decide where to settle. So first question, can I get a non O while I'm here, seems tricky catch 22 as non 0 requires bank account, and to get bank account requires visa and which non O would be best, marriage or retirement, seems marriage as requires less financial commitments but I defer to your expert advice. I'm thinking forget the non O until we return UK next May and then get it in UK in readiness for returning to Thailand next November, but if can do it while here, we will for ease. Next question is border runs, since I'll need to to stay here until May and we planned to holiday in Viet Nam, Laos anyway. Could I do border runs after 60 days rather than extending 60 to 90 days, I realise that would be 2 border runs needed to reach May rather than one, but that doesn't bother us and saves us 1900 baht to spend on a trip if my thinking is correct? Also, I have a certificate of residency from Thailand immigration since were staying with my wife's family while we're here, if that helps with the first question. Thanks all.

Hi All

I’m a Uk national 43 yrs old have been married to my Thai wife (dual national) for 20 years now and have one son (dual national) we have lived in the uk since 2005 ish.

She has a home in Phuket town that we can reside in and have been to Thailand more times than can count now and for long durations as can work remotely.

Toying with the idea of us leaving the UK and relocating in Phuket full time.

As they are both Thai nationals they are fine but what would be best visa for me? Best visa to start with and for the long duration etc.

We have both married officially in the UK and married in Phuket via the Muslim ceremony etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, I have a Thai marriage visa, how long before the expiry date can I extend it? I heard 45 days. Can anyone confirm please?

Hi when applying for the Thai- marriage visa stamp when is your evidence required marriage cert & Partners details & banking plus your pension payments plus the 4oo,ooo bht etc,is this done before on Thai embassy app or is it applied for just before your 60 days are completed after you have opened the Thai Bank Account.Reason for Question is im confused as you cant open a bank account unless you have the Visa .

Looking for some advice on the marriage visa

I always see people asking about the 400k in a Thai bank account, but I also saw there is an option to have a stable income of 40k+ equivalent deposited in a foreign account monthly over a twelve month period. Has anyone ever gone this route instead? Is there anything else I should know about? This would be my preferred route, especially since all the trouble with the Thai banks recently and having 400k locked away that I can’t touch.

I have just picked up my 12 months non O marriage visa from Udon Thani immigration.

They told me that immigration police will come to see me at home but they already have been once a few weeks ago, is this normal for them to visit twice?

Need some advice, I am married last year in Canada to Thai wife. Looking at proof of income and not keen on depositing money at this time to Thai bank.

Any thoughts on away to show money to satisfy Thai gov.

Regards Larry

Just opened a bank acc with KBank . I need to deposit the required amount from my revolut account to start the marriage visa ! Do I send money to my Thai bank account in Thai baht or Pounds sterling ?

Hi . I submitted an online application for a 90 day non immigrant ( married to a Thai ) visa on the 1st in the Uk . Got an email on the 3rd asking for colour copies of the my Thai marriage certificate and wife’s Thai id . No further communication or update since the 3rd : it has been 8 working days since the 3rd. I assume this is well within the advertised time to consider. When should I start getting worried
