Dear channel, I currently have non-O visa (spouse). Every year, when I renew visa, I have to submit the bank statements for the past two months, showing that I have more than 400K THB in the bank. However, I have seen in the website that 2 months bank statement is for the first application only. For the renewals, various website says 3 months statements are required. Is that the case now? Did Thai government recently change the requirement? I would appreciate it if anyone could give me advice on this.

Hello everyone, my 30-day extension on my visa exemption expires on the 1st of April, but I’m getting my marriage registered on the 30th of March to my Thai spouse. Is it possible to apply for a 60-day visiting family extension right after the marriage registration? If so, which immigration office in Bangkok should I go to(I extended at Laksi last month). Thank you

Edit: A visa agent just told me if I already extended then I can’t extend again. Can someone confirm?

Hi all,

Looking at applying for a DTV visa from Australia.

Not sure which way to go.

Im married to Thai and believe I could apply based on that and or

When I do travel to Thailand I actually still run my business remotely so could apply workcation and or I submit my whole situation.

I won't retire for another 5 years so the DTV will work out perfect for my self as I plan on several trips a year until retirement.

Thanks in advance.

TO EXTEND A NON-O VISA FOR A YEAR WHAT ARE THE STEPS?

Hi everyone, I am currently on the initial 90-day Non-O visa (expiring March 24th) and am preparing for my first 1-year extension based on marriage. I am planning to walk in on February 25th and have a few questions:

1. Location: Can the 1-year extension for a Non-O (Thai spouse) be processed at Laksi IT Square (Level 3), or is it still strictly handled at Chaengwattana Building B?

2. Appointments: Is Chaengwattana currently allowing walk-ins for marriage extensions, or is the online booking system mandatory?

3. Photos: Are new couple photos (at home/together) required for the extension? We submitted some in late December for the 90-day visa—can we reuse those, or do they need to be fresh?

4. Stamp Timing: When I submit on Feb 25th, does the 30-day "under consideration" stamp start on the submission date (Feb 25), or does it extend from my existing expiry (March 24 to April 24)? I need to coordinate a business trip to Malaysia and want to ensure I get the timing right for my Re-entry Permit.

5. Financials (Seasoning): I deposited the 400k THB on Dec 25th. By Feb 25th (my walk-in date), it will have been in the account for exactly 2 months. Since my visa expires March 24th, will this 2-month seasoning be accepted for this *first* extension, or is there a move toward 3 months now?

Thanks in advance for any recent experiences or advice!

G’day guys,

I am currently on Non-O 90days for thai spouse. We’re a same sex couple.

1. I am wondering if the financial requirement of 2months deposit 400,000thb can be replaced with my thai partner’s income as stated on immigration website for Thai Husband?

2. If i were to extend my non o another 60days, will i be able to proceed to 1 year extension without leaving the country?

Very much appreciated for the help and many thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm Thai but my partner is foreigner. He has stayed in Thailand since November 8, 2025 on free exemption. (Last day on passport shows Jan 8th, 2026). We're still preparing the documents for his spouse visa but we need more time.

So my question is..

If he wants to extend his free-visa..

1. Will the record on immigration system be reset after January 2026 (New calendar year) ?

2. If it does reset after we travel out of Thailand just for 1 day, Does that mean the officer might allow him to stay for another 60 days since the record is fresh now? or it will be counted as his 1st running visa?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Dear friends, is it possible to Switch my Tourist Visa based on Visiting my Thai Spouse, to Non Immigrant O spouse Visa while staying in Thailand, or it is mandatory to travel outside Thailand and apply for the Non O visa? Someone told me I can switch without leaving Thailand but still not sure, Experts please give advice. THANKS
