Hello

We need help with the Non Immigrant O Marriage Visa, since we keep running into different information and can't find a legit source.

I am thai citizen and my fiance (U.S citizen) is already here in thailand with the tourist visa. We are going to register our marriage next month. After that, we want to apply for the Visa.

Confusing to us:

1. some sources claim that we need

- proof of income

AND

- X amount of THB on an account

some sources say we only need one of these requirements. What is true?

2. How do we prove the income? Does it has to be a bank statement with his name or can it be the bank statement of my name (the income gets transfered to my account, because he can't open an account without visa).

Would it even be possible to prove it with a letter from his employer?

3. We are not sure if/how we are able to apply with him being here already. On the website it seems we can only apply from abroad.

We would appreciate any kind of help and support! Thank you!

What is current list of required documents to extend my non-O based on marriage? Seems I forget something every year. I made a list last year and can’t find it 🤣

Hi, just a quick note for everyone who is on a NON O married visa. I went to immigration office in Samut Sakhon yesterday and they required me to obtain 4 months of Bank Statements to show 400,000 baht in the account and I had to have 40,000 baht a month also deposited into my account. I know that the requirements state either 400,000 baht or 40,000 baht deposited into your account but they insisted on this before they would submit it for my 12 monthly stamp in a month. They also made an appointment to check out our home and take more pictures. Does anyone know why they are doing this to people now.. Fortunately I deposited my 40 +K every month and always maintained my bank balance. Have the rules changed? Have a great day.

Hi All,

I arrived in Oct 2022 on 90 day single entry O visa (married to Thai). I did the 2 month extension in Jan 2023. Circumstances have now changed. Can I now do the 1 year married to a Thai visa in March 2023? UK passport holder.

Thanks.

Does anyone have a recent copy of the hand out for requirements for Non O extension by marriage from Koh Samui please? I am unable to travel at the moment and Samui is my closest Immigration office and I'm due to apply in November. I have last year's list but I know sometimes they like to change it up

Hi, I'm looking for a little help.

I arrived on November 2nd and I'm on my last 10 days of my non o visa and need to extend this for a year based on marriage. I know of having to have 400k in my bank account, copy of marriage certificate, wifes ID, my passport and photos of myself and my wife at our rented property. Can someone please let me know of the other documents I will need?

Many thanks.

Recent application for yearly Extension of Non-Immigrant "O" based on Marriage from SAMUT PRAKAN. (Your experience may vary)

Due to my own disorganisation, I got the dates wrong for my 2 months seasoning of 400k, so it fell on the 24th July, a Saturday, the same day as my yearly extension ran out. ( A bit dull I know)

I went on Wednesday the 23rd to ask and they said "no problem" just come back on the first day open (Monday was a holiday) so Tuesday 27th.

Arrived about 10.00am with letter from bank, and bank statements, and slip showing a withdrawal that same day (withdrawal slip handed back).

Gave them the usual documents (see below):

Required Documents For A One Year Extension Based Upon Marriage

These are general requirements and may vary at different offices.

Unless you are applying at Bangkok you will need 2 sets of copies attached to 2 TM7 Application.forms.

Proof of 400k baht in the bank for 2 months by way of a letter from your bank and your bank book or 40k baht income proven by an income letter from your embassy. (They also asked me to photocopy every page of my Bank Book - signed)

Copies of your passport photo page and every page that has any stamp or visa for Thailand on it (signed)

Copy of TM6 departure card (both sides - signed).

Marriage certificate and an updated Kor Ror 2 marriage registry (Kor Ror 22 for foreign marriages). (We got an updated KR 22 from Samut Prakan the previous week)

Copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card (both sides) - signed by wife.

Map to your residence from the nearest main road or street.

Proof of residence if not living where your wife's house book is for. Some offices may want witnesses when you apply.

Photos of you and your wife in and around the house. One must show you both with the house number shown in it. The number of photos needed varies by office. (Had two outside (one showing house number), two in the lounge, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom (Signed by both of us).

Office was busy for Myanmar etc workers waiting outside but not many "farangs". Wait was only about 10-15 minutes to get seen.

Service, was "brisk" or "curt" rather friendly. But professional. Female IO mentioned to my wife that I seemed in a bad mood - I was gonna ask if she was married too and that would be the answer but thought better of it ;-)

Asked me for a copy of my 90 day reporting - I told her "I do it online" - she then said "Can you print one?" - I answered "Where?" - she then seemed to forget about it. Might be an idea to take a copy just in case.

Paid my 1900 baht, then I was asked to make two photo copies of the receipt.

Got a stamp (under consideration until 23rd Aug) no red squiggles about being late, just a stamp saying "closed for holiday" or something.

Same day got a call from an IO they are not visiting the house (due to C-19) and arranged a video call (Line) for this morning 9am.

IO contacted us via Line just after 9am and we walked around the house, they called my number whilst on the Line video to my wife - to check it was me. Got Moo Baan security guard in the pics and his ID card and phone number. Quite hard doing "screenshots" whilst on your phone - make sure your wife or you have long arms!

So overall not a bad experience.

PLEASE NOTE - whilst in Immigration I saw at least 3 people told they had to leave Thailand or change visa. They would not be given another C-19 extension! One said "My wife and children are here"...the IO replied - "Get the correct visa then".

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Hi all,

I will be applying for a 12 month extension of my non-o (marriage) Visa next Monday and wanted to see if anyone had a checklist of documents to take.

Chaengwattana Office

I've looked online but found last time following the online info I was still short of a few documents.

TIA

My one year Thai marriage Visa extension expires in 90 days. Nothing has changed in terms of where I live or my personal circumstances and I have 400,000 baht in the bank. What documents will I require this time? When should I start the process as I am sure you don't wait until last day to be put under the consideration? Thank you.

Hi, have read the different info regarding to have UPDATED or NEWLY ISSUED Kor 2(married certificate) when applying Ext.Married to Thai at cheangwathana.. Not sure is it correct information or not ? and how about ppl who recently get extension did they updated their Kor2 ? Thanks
