Im travelling to Thailand just after Christmas from Canada, My fiance and will register our marriage, I need to come back home to take care of business, and I will be applying for Non O visa and then open an account once Im there to deposit the 400k bht my question is can I retrieve my 400k bht after the marriage visa is done.

Hi all. A question for people on Thai Marriage Visas.

When putting in our yearly extension of stay, there seems to be a paradox between my SCB account and Immigration. Immigration wants to see a transaction on my savings account showing the same day as the Immi appointment, but the SCB doesn't show transactions on statement printouts for 24hrs, making it impossible to show a transaction the same day as the Immi appointment.

We have had this same issue for some years now, just wondering if anyone knows the best way to get the application right without having to leave and come back the following day?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

Hi all, I am currently on a Non-B visa (for the past two years) but recently got married to a Thai male and am planning to change over to Non-O marriage visa, we plan to leave the country and apply outside, but we aren’t sure where we want to go. Due to having to go out we decided to make it into a trip and want to go to Japan. Has anyone applied for a Non-O in Japan or outside the country and what was required?

I have a list of requirements but it can be different depending on the country your apply in and we’ve read and been advised so many different ways and options that it’s a bit confusing now.

Any advice or clarification would be wonderful!

Thank you!

Hi members..

Just want to confirm something. Please reply if you only know the truth.

Different stories about visas.

If you been married to a Thai national for over 2 months the bank fee comes down to

400000bht.

And can you show funds in your bank or does it have to be deposited into Thai bank.

Does the money stay in bank

And no can use.

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
