Hello everyone. Please forgive me if my questions are too basic. I am marrying a Thai resident in May in Oregon and she is here on a green card. We would like to build a house for us to live in a small town near Nakhon Si Thammaret in the future. Her family lives there and we want to build on her ancestral land. My question is if I’m married to a Thai citizen, how difficult is it to live as a married couple in Thailand as a US citizen? The only advice I’ve received was to get a service to handle my visa where I would send them documents to maintain a visa to live in Thailand. No idea of cost and who does this work. Haven’t tried following up because it will be several years before we go and I imagine things could change there with rules.

Tod and team, I arrived in Thailand on December 18th, 2020 with a Non-immigrant multiple-entry type O (married to a Thai) visa. We live in Bangkok. My current stamp is good until March 17th. I have an appointment scheduled with Immigration on February 23rd. I've checked over the previous postings in this regard, but I'm still confused. My visa is a multiple-entry and from what I understand I would normally exit/re-enter the country at one of the border crossings, but under current conditions this is not practical/possible. What do I need to ask for at immigration? I currently do not have a Thai bank account (not that I haven't tried). I will be receiving my certified marriage license from the US State Department soon (I requested it in June of last year) and I will then be able to get my yellow house book and driver's license, which should also help me get a bank account. Which type of extension can I get? Can I use my multiple-entry visa? What are my best options to stay in Thailand? Thanks for your help.
