Currently holding Non B (extension of stay) with work permit. Recently married a Thai husband. Want to switch to Non O (spouse visa) while keeping my work permit.
Questions:
1.Can I change without leaving Thailand? (some say I must leave regardless)
2.Instead of depositing 400,000 THB, can I use salary proof since I am still employed with a valid work permit (meeting minimum salary requirements).
Am Australia citizen and am married to a Thailand lady we have been married for 5 years and we live in Australia did her visa before she arrived my question is can I organise a long term visa for myself as we intend to move to Thailand in 2 years or do I have to be there to get long term visa for myself am hoping a bit easier for me than my wife visa in Australia was a nightmare but we got there together thankyou
I am married to a Thai but I work on a ship and I am only back in Thailand in the Winter (End Dec till Mid Feb) then I am back at work so max 50 days this year will be less I usually enter on Visa Exempt don't need extension for the last 3 years I was there in Aug for 16 Holiday to see the wife. I know it's up to the IO but was just wondering if I can expect any problems.
Arrive 30 Dec Depart 11 Feb with 6 days in Vietnam in the middle.
I have ticket out already and my contract and letter of employment for next year.
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?
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!
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 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?
