# Thanks for the invite! I am 60 years old and recently retired. My wife is only 46. We are citizens of the US. We are thinking of Chiang Rai because of the air quality and smaller size of the city. We are trying to figure out the best way to obtain the visa. For myself it looks like the O-A visa for one year is our best option (though renewing every year seems like a hassle). The O-X for five years seems nice, but we hate to lock-in a good chunk of money in a bank account just sitting there unused. We do have investments at Fidelity that has partnered with the Krungthai Bank, but even if we tied our accounts to that bank, not sure if it counts as a "fixed" deposit even if my pension went into the account (the Thai Bank would still have a fairly low balance). Now concerning my wife, I heard there is an "O" visa that attaches to mine "O-A" visa? I am not sure how this works. Is it still for a year? What is needed on her end? I truly appreciate any help that you can give! Thank you.

Savannaketh vs HCMC

Which one would you suggest for obtaining the Multiple Entry Non O Visa based on Marriage? I will have to fly next week. And what would be the difference if I would go to Vientiane? (I have a work permit and more than 45k per month income, but didnt get it for a year yet, so I will apply for the ME Non O without proof of income for now).

Marriage visa... but not typical situation. Future wife is living Thailand already 5 years - she is NOT Thai national, she is from one of European country’s. She have own Thai company, proper work permit and proper visa from many years. This is possible, after wedding, to have also some type of marriage visa? I don’t want to work, I will not need work permit etc. Just to be with wife in Thailand but not with typical tourist visa like METV or SETV. Thank you for help 🙏

For non o visa base on spouse, if we are and entering via air without our spouse, can will still queue at the Thai national express lane instead of the foreigner long lane?
