you welcome, don't forget at your papers need to be translated and stamped in mfa before you can go her amphur for marriage

You can either come on visa extempt 60 days or apply a tourist visa both gives you 60 days that you can extend 30 days based on being a tourist after marriage you can apply 60 days extension on top of that for 180 days total.

Then either book a trip to Laos or something go to a Thai embassy / consulate apply non o "following Thai spouse / visit thai family" gives you 90 days that you can apply 1 year extension on if you all the papers/money ready

Last time I arrived I came on setv 60 days that I extended 30 then 60 days extension based on marriage and this was after the 60 visa extempt came into play in Khon Kaen. They didn't ask anything.

(only person that give me little grief was the IO officer in Bangkok when I landed, asked why the fudge I gotten a TR when visa extempt is 60 days now)

But if you married why not get the non o based on Thai spouse / visit family give you 90 days on entry that you can extend 60 days or 1 year if you have all the papers ready

@Graham *****

True, my bad. But it can be extended for a year, forgot to mention that.

@Frans *****

You welcome, well if you are over 50 maybe look into non o retirement visa? Then you can get re-entry permit and come and go as you please. 😊

Ask around in schools that if they can provide Ed visa

All about your travel history into Thailand and if IO having a bad hair day or not.

Sure in reality you shouldn't have a problem but all up to the officer in front of you.

Maybe look into metv?

500 baht fine for each day and a overstay stamp in the passport

@John *********

of course him can if he sponsorship by a Thai company. And convert his visa

Yes you are right about that but him can still ask around if someone wants to take him in then he can covert his DTV visa to work visa.

Him also asked what's the easiest long term visa is I just provided an answer.
