Hi Guys, just wanted to say thank you for all the efforts and advice that has been given in this group. It has been really helpful!

I have been through previous posts and answers and have come to the following possible options for staying on a Non-O visa based on Marriage, however there does seem to be some subtle nuances that I have not quite grasped, such as money seasoning times, or mandatory insurance requirements.

The following is what I have come up with, I am coming from Australia to Thailand and I am married to a Thai.

Option 1

Enter Thailand on Visa Exempt entry - 30 days

OR

Enter Thailand on Tourist Visa obtained from home country - 60 Days

Then

Apply for apply for an in-country Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai - 90 Days

Then

Create bank account and transfer in 400k from external source, allow to season for 2 months.

Then

Within 30 days of visa expiry, apply for 1-Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage - 12 months

Option 2

Enter Thailand on Non-Immigrant O (Spouse) Visa obtained from home country - 90 Days

Then

Create bank account and transfer in 400k from external source, allow to season for 2 months (?)

Then

Within 30 days of visa expiry, apply for 1-Year Extension of Stay Based on Marriage - 12 months

If anyone can offer any constructive advice or amend any mistakes in the above I would be grateful for the assistance.

Cheers!
