Hey all. Quick question. I plan to travel to Thailand, enter on Mar 26th on a Non-O 90 day (marriage visa) I will opt for multi entry as I have some illness in the family and might need to fly back, sadly. Then 60 days later (May 25th) I will apply for my marriage visa. How long does this process take it your experience? Do I have to surrender my passport at this point? I will be applying where we live in Nonthaburi. And can I leave the country while this process is underway? (If it’s not approved by then and I don’t have to surrender my passport.) I have a 3 day work opportunity in Bali, Jun 19th.

Many thanks in advance.

You need to put 400000bhat in bank to get marriage visa.can you put it in a savings account or does it need to go in a current acount

I'm currently on Non-O (Marriage) 90 days visa. I want to get 60 days extention based on visiting Thai family. I rent a condo in Bangkok.

Which office should I apply for the extention?

Should I take my spouse with me to the office?

I'm currently on an extension for retirement which will expire in August but I want to change to marriage. The GSB bank has now stopped the app on the phone for foreigners so I want to close this account but if I'm changing to marriage visa do I still need to keep this account with the minimum 400000 baht in for the retirement visa?

When applying for a marriage visa do my pensions have to be deposited directly into a Thai bank account or can I just transfer the money from my British bank account into my Thai bank account? Many thanks.

I’m going to Vietnam today for a few days and will return on a visa exempt stamp. Can I go to immigration and extend a year based on marriage, or will I need to leave again to get a non-o to then extend?

Additional info: I know all the requirements for the extension (paperwork and seasoned money etc.) I just want to know if I can save another trip by extending on visa exempt

I have question regarding Marriage Visa Extension based on Income. I understand that to get 1 year marriage visa extension you either need to bank 400,000 THB, or have a monthly income of 40,000 THB. I work remotely for my US employer, hence do not have a Thai work permit, but I do pay personal income taxes in Thailand on my income. Is it feasible for me to get the extension based on monthly income? Or getting an extension based on income is only possible if you work for a thai company and have a work permit?

The reason I want to go with the income route is because I think having 400,000 THB in an index fund will be more beneficial for me rather than let it rot in a Thai Bank.

Now that anyone can freely marry anyone regardless of gender, does this mean a foreigner can apply for an extension of stay via marriage to a Thai citizen of the same gender? And qualify for the lower amount to park in a Thai bank when getting a retirement extension? Is all the same paperwork required, e.g. a translated Affirmation of Marital Status / affidavit of freedom to marry?
