Has anyone applied for a DTV spouse visa with a Thai marriage certificate? If so, was it approved?

My partner and I are both from Europe, and are thinking of getting married here in Thailand (I’m here on a DTV, they are on a tourist visa). Then go out of the country to apply for my partner’s DTV as my spouse. Just wondering if a Thai marriage certificate would suffice.

Hello Everyone, Advise please, Im 62, from the US, Im retired, Im in Thailand now on a 60 day Tourist Visa., I have a Thai wife , So Today we went to the Local immigration office to check what all they want to file for The Retirement Visa Married to a Thai, I was Told I couldnt Convert my Tourist Visa, id have to do a Border Run and and get a 90 Day Non -O, Then come back and have The 90 day Non-O Converted into the 1 Year Non-O Marriage , Of course with all the Stuff that goes with that Process, Does That sound Right ??.

Asking folks from California…

Does LA consulate require federal authentication for a US marriage certificate when applying for a Non-O spouse visa? I heard that the process can be long.

Hello all, my wife and I are planning to move to Thailand in the next couple of years and are in the planning stages. I am a dual citizen (Thai/US) and she’s American. We were married in the US and have our US marriage certificate. Do I need to register and/or obtain a Thai marriage certificate as well? The ultimate goal is to get her on a marriage visa at least for now when we moved there .  Also, can we do the paperwork here in the United States through our regional Consulate? I did a bit of research and i’m a bit confused between the marriage certificate KR22 as well. Thank you so much for any information. 

Hello, I am married to a Thai woman and I will be arriving in Thailand on a non-immigrant visa O staying with a Thai family. I will then apply for a marriage visa. I have my thai bank account and the deposit.

What documents do I need to provide to immigration? Because the problem is:

I registered my marriage in Canada and they required my Thai marriage certificate so I no longer have it in my possession. What should I do if Thai immigration requires this certificate? Is a copy accepted since I no longer have the original. Thank you.

Ok tried searching the group and asking friends and still get answers all over the place.

US guy (me) married to dual US/Thai woman (my wife).

She has her Thai ID still in her maiden name and two passports in married name.

She has her Tabien Baan.

For me to apply for a non-o based on marriage, do we need to get our marriage docs certified in Thailand?

Or can I apply for a non-o based on marriage using our US-based marriage certificate as "proof of relationship to a family in Thailand"?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone can help us, my husband and I are both UK citizens and have been here in Thailand for nearly 3 months.

We got married earlier this month and will be applying for DTV. Our visas expire on July 30th so will need to leave Thailand to apply for our DTV.

We have our legal Thai marriage certificate, does anyone know if this is ok to use as proof for me to join him on his DTV or does the certificate need to be translated back into English?

We will also add our 3 young children to the DTV as well.

Many thanks in advance for any advice :)

I’m English and my wife is Polish, I’m already in Thailand on Non O retirement visa and building a home ready to move my wife and dogs once completed.

My wife has Polish and soon UK passport and turns 50 on September the 1st.

I have Thai bank account and she doesn’t.

With new banking regulations I see the only way for us to get the bank account open is to apply for 90 day Non O in the UK, I assume once she’s turned 50 or could we do it before? Then open her a bank account once she’s here, deposit the 800,000 and apply for the extension after 2 months?

Sorry if any of my terminology is incorrect.

My wife of 23 years (from Buriram) has been in the UK with me for 22 years and also UK paasport holder as well as Thai passport holder.

In July I start the application for Non-O visa but not sure which option to select on the E-Visa website. I’m not so clever with computer stuff.

As we have marriage certificates all in Thai as we were married in Bangkok, this is OK as we will be extending the Non-O based on marriage whilst in Thailand?

Not sure what other paperwork I need. The money will be in the Thai bank which i will open first day I land.

But applying for the Type-O is the first step and need to get it right!

Any help much appreciated m.

I’m married to a Thai woman and I’m here on a 90 day non O visa and have set up a bank account and deposited 900,000 baht so more than the 400,000 baht requirement. I still have to wait until June 13th before this will become seasoned. What other documents will be required to apply myself for the 1 year marriage visa extension. Is it as listed below 👇

Gather all the necessary documents for the extension, including:

Application form T.M. 7 (available at the Immigration Office).

Passport and a copy of your passport.

Marriage certificate and copies.

Proof of income or financial stability (e.g., bank statements showing 400,000 THB or a monthly income of 40,000 THB).

Copy of your Thai spouse's ID card and house registration papers (Tabian Baan).

Photos of you and your spouse together, including inside and outside of your residence.

A map showing your address in Thailand.

Also when my money reaches seasoning on the 13th June I’m a little concerned about the length of time it takes to process? As my 90 day visa will expire on the 7th July. What do I do if I have not received notification that it’s been approved by then. Do I over stay and pay fine whilst I wait or go and spend some time in laos and come back on a tourist visa of which I believe I will only be allowed to stay for 50 days as I’ve been here twice this year now and will have spent 130 days here on my 2 trips in total.

Any accurate information would be greatly appreciated, sorry it’s long winded.
