FamilyPacker That is just straight up false. I have not heard of a single country putting restrictions on single entry tourist visas because of the visa exemptions.

Where did you hear this?

If you are worried about them putting the visa exemption down to 30 days, just get a regular tourist visa before you leave.

That also gives you 60 days which can be extended with 30 more.

But you can't get the extension until you are actually here in Thailand.

Emrah Aydın No, you pay like 50baht to get legally married at the local Amphur( District Office ) if you've got all your documents in order.

Getting the visa / extension of stay based on marriage is something else though

BC Farang By stupidly expensive I mean the required income for the LTR is usually so high that it makes it not relevant for the majority of folks asking about visas.

Marriage lessens the burden on the financial proof, but comes with other requirements.

So you'll still have to show money, just less of it.

Home-ownership does nothing unless you are going the investment-visa route, which is stupidly expensive.

Derek Smart If the children were born while they were married they are obligated to pay child support.

Or he could be a decent man and do it anyway regardless of legal obligation. It's not the kids fault the wife wants a divorce.

Leo Andreas Hoffmann Every office operates with slightly different requirements.

I for example, needed a drawn map from the main road closest to me, not map with coordinates.

Requirements for documents required from my landlord was also different.

So this only applies 100% to your local Immigration Office.

Colin Chaffers you have 30 days to sort out bank account and the transfer, since the money need to season for 2 months in the account before you apply for the extension of stay
