What visa should I apply for to move to Hua Hin with my Thai wife and son?

Andy ********

I think the question you are asking is is the monitory requirement reduced if you are married. For the OA or O based on being over 50 then the answer is no.

If you opt for the non immigrant O then the financial requirement is 400k only for 2 months before you apply.

I see exactly how you would come to that conclusion as I have come to the same. It doesn't help that there appears to be a glitch in the Facebook software that doesn't always show who the moderators are.

What should I do if I’m wrongly denied boarding due to a blacklist for overstaying in Thailand?

Andy ********

@Luc ***********

of course they can deny you boarding. Airlines have access to the database of all banned travellers. Some will also refuse boarding if you don't have onward travel within the time of your right to remain.

Why do applicants need to provide their own police report for a non O-A visa in Thailand?

Andy ********

@Stephen *******

, if you do change to an O-A you must extend at least once on the reason you applied for the visa which will be being over 50 years of age (retirement). This means it will be 2 to 3 years before you are back to extending for reason of being married to a Thai national.

@Stuart ********

I appreciate that as a group of moderators you have no affiliation with the group owners.

I also thank you as a member for all the great information you have provided. It must be a huge commitment to moderate such an active group.

Incidently you don't show as a moderator when commenting on a post.

@Brandon ***********

do you share the view that it is not a problem to disregard the financial requirements of a visa and just pay an agent instead?

I believe that there are many problems with that approach.
