Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )

On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥

Thank you for every advice 🙏🏻

Hi,

Has anyone applied annual extension based on Thai Spouse at Chaengwattana lately without having online booking?

I have to travel for work and next free slot for online booking is September 12.

Just wondering how long is the wait if just go and apply without booking the slot beforehand.

Thanks.

Okay folks, looking for an agent to handle USA visa app for my wife. We've been married years, I live here full time, we own land, have a business... All of the "right things". We failed twice and it is just a miserable emotional smog to go through the process and get declined. I don't want to do anything shady, but I'd like to remove the pain from the application process. So, did anyone here use an agent and successfully get a tourist visa to the USA for your Thai partner? Would you please refer me to the agent you used.

For all the "just get her a green card" commenters- buzz off. I don't wanna .

Thanks for the help.

Hi - having spent the last 14 years travelling between Thailand and New Zealand on 12 month Non O (Thai Spouse) visas I now need to take a different approach as one year is not an option through the E-Visa and the 90 day Non O costs more than 16,000 Baht from the NZ Thai Embassy. As I have the requisite 400K Baht seasoned in my Thai bank account can I arrive on a visa exempt 60 days, apply for a 90 day Non O and then the 12 month extension all within a three to four month period before I have to return to NZ?

I currently have visa o (Thai spouse) which expires on 10 March. On 31st December I have reentered Thailand. And immigration only approved my stay until 10 March. I don't know whether this was intentional or a mistake. But in the past years they always gave me 3 months, even when I entered the country on the last day of my visa's validity.

Did it change or is it because I have entered the kingdom with a reentry visa (not multi entry)?

Hi everyone,

I have a Non-O visa (Thai spouse) and am looking to extend it for another year. I have a working permit so originally tried opting in through a Thai employer, and I’ve almost completed all the documents. But, I don’t have any previous tax payment records in the country yet since I only started paying taxes here this year. These records should be available next year.

Now I've read the other two options: by pension as salary, and by securing a deposit of money sitting in a Thai bank account for '2 months'

I have a few questions:

1. Regarding the income certificate that meets the required amount, under which category does this fall? I already have the certificate (in Thai).

2. Do I still need to visit the embassy for this process, or are there additional documents I need to provide?

Lastly, does anyone have a reliable resource or checklist for these documents?

When I called Nakhon Pathom immigration office, they told me that without recent tax payments, I might need to leave the country and re-enter with a Non-B visa, which I think doesn’t seem to make sense in my case with Non-O visa. Any advice? Thank you.

I have a thai spouse… im too confused abt the visa. I want to do business in Thailand. I will come there on 17th so I think I have time to get the correct VISA on time.

I also have VISA on Arrival which is a tourist VISA which gives me 60 days to stay…

We will be doing DTV in Ho Chi Min, Vietnam.

Please share your experiences for following inquiries, Thanks🙏🙏

1. Does the wife have to apply together with the mail applicant to apply for a spouse visa?

Or should she apply after the main applicant visa is approved?

2. So after, the spouse can apply while staying in Vietnam at once without re-entering Thai?

3. What are the required documents for the application of the spouse visa?

4. How many days apart do we need to buy return ticket to complete both applications?

My elderly aunt in the states has been thinking of moving in with us in Thailand, but it is looking like she might just need care back in the states. Does anyone know if my wife going as a temporary care giver is something attainable? I feel like I've heard things suggesting yes and no.
