Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a Thai Non-Immigrant O (Spouse) Visa for the first time through the Embassy in Canberra, and I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through it recently.

From what I’ve read, the main requirements are:

• Marriage certificate + spouse’s Thai ID & house registration

• Invitation letter from spouse

• Bank statement showing at least 20,000 THB (individual) or 40,000 THB (family)

• Proof of residence in Australia

• Proof of accommodation in Thailand

• Flight itinerary

My question is: did the Embassy ask you for anything extra beyond this list (like proof of income, wedding photos, extra financials, etc.)? And was an invitation letter in English enough, or did you also provide one in Thai?

Any tips or clarifications would be a huge help since this is my first time applying 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have applied tourist visa online n got the email to provide additional document to proceed further :

1, address for my stay 60 days in thai — originally I showed the first hotel that I stayed few days as I want to find hotels after landed; should I really need to book 60 days hotel to attach such documents

2, invitation letter from thai people (how to get this or what the content)

If I didn’t attach such additional document, will my record of failed tourist visa to be showed n affect my entry when landed in thai ? I plan to apply Retire visa in thai after landed in fact. Thanks for add advice!

I have owned a property in Thailand for 15 years, where I propose staying, and have recently applied for a Non O , single entry 90 day visa, in order to apply for a Retirement Visa.

The Embassy is asking for additional paperwork, a Note Verbale or an Invitation letter, can anyone please explain where an invitation letter comes from?

UPDATE:

I received the e-Visa just 3 hours after submitting the Invitation Letter. Had my wife write/sign/date, included copy of her Thai ID and pages from family house book.

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

Re: Non-O e-Visa, I received an email from the Los Angeles embassy requesting an Invitation Letter from Immediate Family.

I searched the group for “invitation letter”, and while I found helpful posts, none I found seem to match my situation.

My wife has been living with me in the USA for 10 years, and now we are moving to Koh Samui. We will be renting at first, but do not yet have an address. Her family is in Khong Chiam (Ubon).

Any suggestions on how to write the letter? From my wife and hotel or friend’s address? From family in Ubon and their address?

Thanks, this group has been a tremendous help to me thus far.

I’m applying but for where I’m staying I’m going to be living with my girlfriend there and I don’t have a lease or a renters agreement what should I put for where I’m staying just her address or does she need to make a formal letter I’m staying there

HOPE INVITATION LETTER IS NOT NEEDED FOR TOURIST VISA

can anyone help with example of invitation letter to Thailand please

I have a question regarding my Non-O marriage visa application. I submitted it last week and I just got an email from The consulate asking for an “INVITATION LETTER” from my immediate Thai family, ie spouse, mother in law, whatever. So has anyone heard of this invitation letter and if so what is the best way to have my wife write it so it will be accepted by them? Thanks in advance! 🙏🙏🙏

Hello! I’m a Thai National and my husband is applying for the Non O visa. They require an invitation from me inviting him to my mother’s home in Thailand.

Does it have to be handwritten and in Thai?

Thank you 🙏🏼
