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!

My wife and I are planning to spend 3-4 months every year in Thailand when we retire next year. My wife is a dual citizen (US and Thailand). I am a US citizen. We were married in the US but never registered it in Thailand. We are both over 60. We are financially secure. We have a house in Thailand under my wife’s name. While in Thailand, I may volunteer my time at non-profit organizations. I’d would like to eventually get a Thai permanent residency (or citizenship) so I don’t have to deal with visas and in later years we may decide to live in Thailand full time. What’s the best path for me to get to Thai PR or citizenship?

Does anyone know what agency in the US i contact about getting the document proving ive never been married? Whats the name of the document?. Im in minnesota fyi.
