"under consideration" is just processing time for the set of documents sent away.
You will be fine, it's just a formality.
If they require an inspections it is quik and painless.

What are the requirements for maintaining funds in a bank account for a Marriage Visa in Thailand?
Chris
*******
Okay the 400k must be in 1 day before initial 90 visa, and remain there until AFTER you receive your 1 year extension.
You can apply for your 1 yr extension as soon as 45 days into the visa BUT no sooner than when the funds "season" for 60 days.
You can use the money once the 1yr extension is granted and stamped.
Essentially your money could be tied up around 3-4 months with "under consideration" time included, it all depends on your timing.
Did you not get the marriage requirements sheet??

You can use the 90 days nonb whether you extend after that is up to you.
What is the process and cost for changing a NON-O visa to a NON-B dependent visa in Thailand?
Chris
*******
Talk to your local office whether they will allow you to change your reason for extension to dependant, because the medical extensions are an exception for emergency use its not likely.
However it's worth asking.
Otherwise you leave and start over.
What are the steps and requirements for retiring in Thailand as an expatriate?
Chris

1st step go the evisa site and get the requirements for that embassy.
2nd step apply for 90 day non-o based on being over 50.
It is not a "longstay" visa.
3rd enter Thailand with that visa.
4th go to immigration for a residence certificate, most offices will issue with a hotel TM30.) And get the local "retirement" extension requirements.
5th take copies of everything to bank and apply for account.
With the 90 day visa should not be a problem. Better if you have longterm accommodation in some cases.
6th get the 800k transferred from overseas within the first 30 days.
7th once the 60 day seasoning period passes apply for a 1yr extension of stay and then repeat this process yearly.
*SOME OFFICES have odd out of the ordinary rules.*
Costs of extension is 1900b.
OTHERWISE enter as a tourist and pay $$$ to an agent.
This has pitfalls but for some the only way they can get it done.
But if you don't qualify,
"you gotta pay to play".
Can I enter Thailand on a one-way flight ticket and book a return flight later?
