Looking for advice on the cost of a work visa in pattaya and the best agent to use. I am married to a thai national.

I believed this question had being asked before but I cannot search for similar thread.

My Non O Marriage Visa expired on 18 Aug and will be relocating back to my home country. However I would like to extend my stay for another 2 weeks till end of August.

What are my options? Can I apply for a further short term for like 14 days with proof of my return air ticket? And where?

Or Leave the country before my non o expired and return after the expiry date?

Thank you in advance for your reply

Hello Group, I am here on a Non-O based on marriage, also have a Thai child and arrived April 7th, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't get the 400K deposited into my Bangkok Bank until April 29th. Fast forward to June 19 and had a medical emergency ( heart attack ), which caused me to dip into the 400k, bringing it down to around 100K. I am stamped 90 day until July 6th. I am guessing that this will be an issue at IO. I was planning on refilling my Thai bank account back up to 400K+, but wanted to consult the group first. Do I really have to start this whole process again? I am also hoping IO will take into consideration the medical situation and extend my initial 90 day, allowing me to stay and season the 400K. Will consider agent at this point. Please help!

Update 09/04/2025 Bank Account opening

Went to Bangkok Bank in Nong Bua Lamphu.

Waited patiently in line for an hour with my Thai wife

Presented my Passport, English Driving Licence, Non O 90 day retirement visa, signed letter to Bank of Bangkok, from Nong Bua Lamphu Immigration and stamped TM30 and was told that this was not enough. Now being told I need a Yellow Book. Totally frustrating and at a loss what to do. PS. Please do not tell me to use an agent, my background is finance and cannot jeopardise my position by using agents.

Recently arrived in Thailand on a 90-day Non-immigrant "O" visa (married to Thai national, US passport ). My wife's employer here told me I need to have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank for at least 2 months in order to request visa extension of up to a year. I have seen others on this page refer to an 800,000 baht bank requirement. Is it 400k or 800k?

I am new at this.

Thanks.

I tried searching on the group, but couldn't find the answer I need. I have a Non O based on marriage, and a WP. I've lost my job, so what takes precedent, my visa or the WP?

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if I can apply for a non-inmigrant O marriage visa at any thai embassy in Asia (the first one, 3 months length) or only some embassies do it.

If the second option, how can I know which do and which don’t?

I have 2 friends who got them in Taiwan and Hong Kong and I would like to consider others if possible.

Ok proof they are still doing multiple entry 1 year non O at Savanakhet

Couple of queries i asked today from questions yesterday.

Overseas bank accounts ok at moment. (He did say that may change)

Needs to be 3 months worth of accounts and has to be no older than 1 week.

Someone else asked about Wifes ID and passport. They said no problem just ID if never been issued passport.

Good morning. I recently applied for a Non-Immigrant O visa online based on married to a thai citizen. I got my visa approved yesterday by the consulate in Munich, Germany. However, the length of stay is only 90 days. I thought it would be a year. During the application process there was no information about the length of stay, just “more than 60 days”. What am I missing? I wanted a year of course.

Is it possible to apply online for 1-year extension based on marriage to Thai national?

[members only]

**2.19 Family member of a Thai residence (Non-Immigrant)

**7. Residence certificate and alien registration certificate of the alien granted residence permit in Thailand.

I don't have this one, never needed it for this extension.

So do I (and my wife) need to go apply in person at Chaengwattana?

Thank you!
