Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a Thai Non-Immigrant O (Spouse) Visa for the first time through the Embassy in Canberra, and I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through it recently.

From what I’ve read, the main requirements are:

• Marriage certificate + spouse’s Thai ID & house registration

• Invitation letter from spouse

• Bank statement showing at least 20,000 THB (individual) or 40,000 THB (family)

• Proof of residence in Australia

• Proof of accommodation in Thailand

• Flight itinerary

My question is: did the Embassy ask you for anything extra beyond this list (like proof of income, wedding photos, extra financials, etc.)? And was an invitation letter in English enough, or did you also provide one in Thai?

Any tips or clarifications would be a huge help since this is my first time applying 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I’m submitting additional documents for my Thai Non-Immigrant O visa. They requested: “Bank Statement 800,000 THB for the last three months.”

I already uploaded my statement two weeks ago. I have two bank accounts, and I’m planning to submit summary pages for each account showing the balances for the last three months.

My question: is it enough to submit only the summary pages, or do I need to provide the full transaction history for both accounts?

⚠️ Please only reply if you’ve actually done this recently—looking for advice from real experience, not general tips.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

Regarding the non-immigrant O retirement visa... is it possible to apply while already in Thailand?

If so, would it be possible to do so after entering Thailand with an exemption or tourist visa and possibly after a 30 days extension?

Would the 90-day permit period be added to the initial planned exit date of the tourist visa or its extension?

Thank you for any info!
