Hi everyone. I am planning on moving to Thailand shortly, marrying my girlfriend then living here on a marriage visa. Two questions.

Which visa should I enter Thailand on?

Would I have any problem entering on a one way plane ticket?

Thanks

As I’m home on my first 90 visa ( based on marriage). My local immigration office said I can extend for a year after the first 60 days. So my question is when would my 90 day check ins start from is it 90 days on entry to Thailand or 90 days from the start of my first year extension?

Hello,

I went to Phuket Town Immigration to ask about applying for a Marriage Visa for the first time.

I’m leaving Thailand soon to go back to work and won’t return till October when I will apply for a marriage visa & I wanted to make sure I understood everything correctly.

I was hoping I could get something cleared up please about the length of time funds needed to be in your bank account.

Is it correct that when you apply for your marriage visa the first time you need 400,000baht in the bank only 1 day before you apply?

And then when you apply for your 1 year extension for 3 months later you need to keep 400,000 baht all that time up to the extension date?

(Which makes sense to me)

The part that I’m not sure about is that I was told by the kind officer that after you get the extension you need to keep the 400,000baht in you bank account for 2 months after the start date of your 1 year extension.

I thought and I could well be wrong with a marriage visa that as soon as you got the 1 year extension that you could take the 400,000baht out of your bank account if you wanted too.

I thought it was just for retirement type visas extensions that you had too leave the funds for 2 months after you get the extension.

I likely will leave the funds in my bank account all year long anyway but I just wanted to understand better in case I needed to access the funds in an emergency when I would be able too, and when I could do so without jeopardising my Marriage visa extension.

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Hi all.. i need a little help from ex pats from uk.

Im currently in the uk , travelling on 9th may to basically spend most of my time in thailand on a marriage visa, my marriage visa just expired, so i have to re apply, no problem there.

The issue i have is my bank, santander, theyve gave me a nightmare whilst in thailand the last year. Theyre telling me i have to report to them every 90 days, they actually froze my account last year and i dont want the same hassle i had again.

So im asking if anyone can recommend a bank in the uk i can use, fully closing my santander accounts.

Thank you. Ray

Good evening everyone I was born in Italy but I have been living in London for 26 years. I am 59 years old and would really like to retire in Thailand where I have already traveled several times and where I met a lady and would like to get married. Question: what do I need from A to Z to do this? bank account, visas, if I need to have a house with her etc.. Thank you all so much

Hi All. I hope everyone had a nice Songkran. My phone didn’t survive it! Sadly 💦

Quick question.

I’m currently in Thailand on a 90 day non O. I plan to apply for my marriage visa at my local immigration office in Nonthaburi on day 60 (I heard you maybe able to do it after 45 days, not sure if that’s true?) So I take with me:

- My passport

- My wife will be with me so she’ll have her Thai i.d

- Marriage Certificate/documents

- Supporting documents as proof of the 400,000 bht security deposit in a Thai bank account are as follows:

* Updated bank book or passbook.

* Bank letter stating that the money was deposited to the account from an overseas source not less than 2 months prior.

Anything else I need to bring with me or is that it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I got married in December. I was on a 90 day O-visa. I want to be able to go to Thailand for 6months every year and spend 6 months back in USA. What's the best option for me? I was thinking marriage visa, is this my best option?

From : [members only] - are the references to 'both' (applicant & spouse) having either the minimum 40,000 income, or having the 400,000 balance correct now ? And is the reference to a '3 month' seasoning of the financial levels correct/ in current use ? Thanks.

Guys I am 55 living in the uk my wife is Thai also living here in uk we have a house in Isaan and looking to retire and move to Thailand in a couple of years best and easiest visa to go for and do I apply for it in the uk ?
