Hello all,

Tried doing a search here but couldn't find anything definitive...

I am legally married to a Thai citizen and have a Thai marriage certificate.

1. Can I apply for the ‘marriage visa’ (Non-O) in the Immigration office in Bangkok on a 60 day visa-exempt stamp? Some websites mentioned that I have to start the Non-O Visa application in my home country, hence my confusion.

2. If it’s possible to start the process in Bangkok, which Immigration office in Bangkok should I go to?

Thanks for your patience and advise

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from the group.

I hold both US and Russian passports. I have a DTV visa issued to my US passport, but for this particular trip I want to enter Thailand using my Russian passport instead (visa exemption).

My reason: 16 days after arrival to Thailand I'm traveling onward to where my Russian passport works better and want to keep travel continuity.

Has anyone entered Thailand on a different passport than the one with their DTV visa? Any issues at Thai immigration? I'm prepared with explanations and all my bookings are on the Russian passport, but wondering if this will create problems.

Would appreciate any experiences or thoughts from the group. Thanks!

Thank you for your time & patience

I would like some advice. My wife is Thai and I’m an American. We plan to come Thailand in July and stay about 4 months. During that time, we will probably take a trip outside Thailand (maybe Laos, Viet Nam or the Philippines). My question is do I need to get a visa or just use the 60 day exemption and depend on the extensions that are available.

In addition to the normal 60 day extension, can I get a family extensions as I have in the past?

Thanks

Hello everyone

I came to Thailand in February for 2 weeks,

I then returned in March for 2 weeks trying to get my girlfriend a visa for the UK ( which was unsuccessful this time)

I am flying back to Bangkok on 21 st June for 2 days, we then both of us go to Vietnam for 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand again for 4 days.

Even though I will be under the time limit allowed I will have been to Thailand 4 times in 6 months

Will this be an issue?

Is the 6 months a year rule for tourist visas / exempt stamps still in effect? Is it only crooked visa agents Circumventing this for clients ATM?

So I am trying to book my flight to come out on or about September 15th. I plan on coming in on a 60 day visa, extending it to a 90 day visa and using an agent to help me with my retirement visa.

Is it ok to have a return flight later than the 60 days you get on your original visa or does your return flight when passing through customs the first time in Bangkok HAve to be returning within 60 days?

Does that make sense?

What if you wanted to legitimately tour parts of Thailand only for a total of five months a year, split into two stays, july and august and then later in Dec, Jan, Feb. Do you think you need to get a retirement visa, or some other form of visa, or can you just come in on a tourist visa?
