How can you apply for long term visa but they won’t let you open a bank account to deposit the required amount.

I am retiring next year and I am married to a Thai, I am planning to get a non O visa and when I get there open a bank account.

I will probably only stay 2-3 months and then return in Maybe 3-4 months later.

When I go back would you advise getting another non O visa or just come on visa exemption? Will possibly come for 2-3 months again

Question for the group. I have a non O visa that I'm hoping to get a 1 year extension as my wife is Thai. Living in the Samut Sakhon area and my 90 day visa runs out on the 28th of July. I'll have the 400K baht in my bank for 2 months as of the 13th. In your experience is 2 weeks enough time to process that application (as I read online it sometimes takes 3 weeks) and what options do I have if there isn't enough time? Sorry if this is a dumb question I could find easily online but I didn't see anything.

Is it possible to enter Thailand from the US as a tourist with passport but no visa, get married right away, apply for the non-o visa, open a bank account and deposit the 400k thb, wait 60 days, then get a marriage extension before I'd need to leave the country? Hope this makes sense!

Hi I live in Koh Tao and got married to a Thai in the UK in 2023. I want to change from my non-o 90 day visa to a one year non-o visa.

Have been told by my visa agent that she doesn't know how to help me... 🙄so hopefully you guys can help me.

What do I need to do? I have read many threads and there is always contradictory advice so I am very lost.

Do I apply for the 'affirmation of marriage status' form on the UK gov website? That form is worded as if it is for unmarried persons and also asks what date and location I'm going to be married in, which makes me think that is the wrong form for someone who is already married. Don't want to pay £75 for the wrong form.

I have heard I need to get a "kor ror 22" and also certify my UK marriage certificate then get it translated but not sure how to go about it.

Can anyone please shine some light on what I need to do?

Thank you!
