Hello 🙏☺️

I hope someone have any advice on my situation as its stressing me outtttt.

In february me and my thai boyfriend and our 2 babies flew from Sweden to Thailand. The plan was to get married and then convert visa exempt to non o visa. But the marriage part took such a long time due to paperwork being wrong and stuff. We only got married a couple of days before my visa exempt extension was finished. So I had to do a boarder bounce by land to get 60 new visa exempt days. After the 60 days I got another extension and before that was finished we flew back to Sweden for one month holiday.

My plan was to get the non o visa from here and fly back with that. To apply from sweden though its more than 1 month waiting at the moment so I wont have time to get a non o visa from here 😭 (ive spoken to embassy already)

I am terrrrrified to fly back to Thailand with no visa and trying to enter on another visa exempt to convert into a non o visa. Anyone have been in similar situtation with 2 visa exempts and trying for a 3rd but having a "valid" reason for it?

Im travelling with my thai hustband and our 2 babies back to thailand. I have my marriage documents with me.

Is there any other visa I can apply for ? Or would even a tourist visa be better?

Any help is appriciated. Thank you so much 🙏☺️

I thought we had all the ducks in a row, I have got a Thai marriage certificate stamped and certified, yellow book, Thai ID card and trying to work towards a marriage visa. Now I need to open a Thai bank account to season funds however after having been to several banks that refuse to open an account without a visa, my wife is now taking me to a Chinese bank, I’m having serious reservations about this.

I would like to join my wife in Thailand, she is a Thai national. Unfortunately ii jut found out that I need $400,000 Thai baht. Is there not a cheaper way/ Any advice would be appreciated

When on a non-o based on marriage to a Thai woman Is it allowed that a bank account drops under the 400k for a short period about 5 months prior to a new extension?

Report on my trip to CW yesterday to apply for my second stay extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen.

Two weeks prior my wife went to Huay Kwang District office to obtain an updated copy of our marriage certificate ( KR2). Easy to do. She just had to show her ID card and a copy of our original certificate. And pay 20 baht per copy of course.

Went to Bangkok Bank in the morning before going to CW for my 2pm appointment. No problem to obtain the bank letter or statement. Didn’t have to fill out any forms committing to keep funds in my account for any period of time. I had kept a balance over 400k for more than 4 months prior anyway but it wasn’t mentioned.

Went to CW for 2pm appointment and was finished and out of the door by 3pm. Went like clockwork. All discussions were between my wife and the IO in Thai and the IO only comment to me was to recommend that I get a new passport before applying next year as my passport expires next September. Back in 21 days to get the extension inked in. Note that IO did not ask for the updated KR2. At the end of the process she took a photo of my wife and I jointly holding up a sign in Thai that my wife said it stated in Thai that we are married so that may have been the necessary confirmation that we are still married. IO stated that my wife could come alone on 15 August to get my extension inked in ( having observed that my mobility isn’t good) but confirmed that I would have to attend in person if I wanted to apply for a RE permit. She suggested that I apply for the RE permit at the airport when I leave which sounds like a plan to me.

In conclusion meticulous preparation paid off and I am attaching my homemade check list in case it helps others. Note for the family photos I provided 6 photos printed 2 per page directly onto glossy photo paper with captions below and she was quite happy with them.

Good day Tod Daniels. I've had my marriage visa for several years and always made sure I had the 400,000 THB for 2 full months before renewal. Lately, I'm seeing some sights have said the 2-month requirement has been increased to 3 months. Others still remain for 2. A little confusing.

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.
