I would advise you apply for a 90 day tourist visa , enter Thailand and straight away arrange a Thai bank account in your name only, then apply for Spouse visa which will include requiring 400k baht in the Thai bank in your name for 2 months , hence using the 1st 30 days to arrange things and the other 60 days for the spouse visa procedure to complete. Good luck.
Thanks Steve. Similar to you my missus and I are close in age (3 years apart) , been married 7.5 years, spent most of our marriage living together in UK before we relocated to Thailand last September. Financially sound.
Should all be fine. Appreciate you taking time to comment.
