Good morning everyone.

I am moving to Koh Samui in March 2024 and will be living in my Thai wife's house.

I am an Australian citizen and receive the Aged Pension (Aust$2160/month).

Can someone kindly outline the process to obtain a Thai Marriage Visa?

Thanks in advance.🙏

This is a info post based on my experience today at Chon Buri Immigration . I went to apply for a 1 year extension to my Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai National. 2-3 weeks ago I visited Chon Buri Immigration and collected the check list required to apply. This is not my first extension so I knew what was required but wanted to make sure that I had the 'up to date' check list. Upon arriving at counter 6 the Immigration officer started to check the documents and was rejected because you now need proof that your marriage is still current and the last 3 months worth of bank statements that you have the seasoned funds in. These 2 extra requirements are not on the check list and if they had of been I would have complied. We were told to come back at 1300 tomorrow. We then went to the local Amphur and obtained the documents showing our marriage was still current and my wife said the lady there said that many people had been that day requiring the same document. Now before any one asks I had the letter from the bank and I deposited 100 baht to my account and done a bank book update this morning and had photocopied the bank book showing the funds being in there for over 3 months. I will update the bank book before I go again tomorrow and have printed out from online banking my last 3 months worth of statements. I hope this helps anyone applying for a 1 year extension based on NI O Visa based on marriage and if anyone else can concurr they have had a similar experience at Chon Buri Immigration the drop a comment. Cheers.

Need to renew non-o based on marriage. I am fairly certain about what I need except for the money situation and some proof of marriage.

I have more than one year of monthly deposits above what is required. I have been sending money from my account in USA using Wise/ transferwise.

Will bank statements be enough?

Also, I read that I need to get proof of marriage...? An update to my marriage certificate or something like that? I am not clear what I need there.

Thanks for your help

Question: Extensions of Stay to stay bases on marriage to a Thai citizen.

I heard that some immigration offices are asking now for a proof of marriage letter by the yearly extension documents. Is that the case for the Chaengwattana office? And if so, what and where to get that kind of document?
