Hello everyone, I am an Australian and recently got married to a Thai. I am planning to go to Penang, Malaysia for 2-3 months and getting the first 90 day marriage visa, before returning to Thailand to get the yearly extension.

I was looking at form 12 - NON-IMMIGRANT VISA (O) FOR DEPENDANT on [members only] but noticed on section 8.3 (see attached) that you need a bank statement for the last 6 months with 400k THB in a Thai bank account. I suspect this may be for the 1 year visa, but I can't find the checklist on the requirements for the 90-day visa like there is for the Laos requirements on [members only].

What I wanted to do was go to Penang, get the single entry 90 day marriage visa, go back to Thailand, open a bank account, and deposit the money from my Australian bank into the Thai bank, then renew it in Thailand for 1 year. Can someone please confirm if this is possible to do in Penang, or if I will need to go to Laos (or another near-by country) for the initial 90 day marriage visa. All the information seems to be geared towards the 1 year extension and would love to clarify what is needed before getting to that step.

Thank you!

Hello,

Our kids are on Extension of Stay with Non-O visa. We are going to Immigration to ask to change to Non-ED. (With papers from their school).

Could you confirm that we go out with the new visa on the same day? I understand that this is a change of reason for the Extension of stay.

Thanks a lot in advance

I currently have a one-year extension to a non-O Visa (based on retirement criteria) which expires in July 2023.

I would like to be able to apply for a work Visa, and would need to change from a "retirment non-O" to a "marriage non-O". I am married to a Thai national, so I satisfy the "marriage criteria".

I was wondering whether there is any way to change from "retirment criteria" to "marriage criteria" without having to wait for the expiry of the visa extension in July 2023. Any way this could be achieved via a "border run" or any other means?

I am a Canadian citizen, so technically I can could re-enter Thailand "visa exempt" and then restart the Visa application process. But as far as I know, its not possible to get stamped-in Visa exempt on re-entry if you already have a Visa.

Any thoughts?

Hello can i come to Thailand with free visa and change visa to be ED??

Hello all,

Anyone has this info or experienced.

I was told changing ED visa to Non-b, I have to fly out of border to convert then enter thai w non-b. Inconvenient 😓

Is it true w e new covid ext program, CW IMM (not counter N) will not be doing 60day ext and then company can change to non-b?

TQIA 🙏

I’m on an O-A visa. Did my 90 day report today in Chiang Mai and went to enquire about changing to a visa for someone married to a Thai.

I was told I need to get another year on O-A before applying for the change. Or at least that’s what I thought he told me.

Quick question....if I have a non B multiple entry visa and I want to move to a retirement visa can I do that by not having to leave the country and if so how. TIA
