Is it true? Yes, it's true. Volunteering is considered work, taking a potential job from a Thai person.

Lots of people still do it.

Is it too risky? That's up to you decide. If someone complains, you could potentially be deported/banned from Thailand. Not likely, but it's possible.

What documents do I need for a marriage visa (non-O) in Thailand?

Brandon ************

The only thing you listed that is required for a non-O based on marriage is proof of funds. None of these other things are required for a non-O visa. You're listing requirements for the non-OA which is not what you are wanting.

Can I use a new passport for my Thai visa application if I have entry stamps from an old passport?

Brandon ************

1) probably okay. I'm not sure they would even me able to tell that the passport is different.

2) probably okay as long as you don't try to get an extension in Thailand

The non-O visa IS the marriage visa.

If your marriage is already registered in Thailand then you can get the marriage certificate from any amphur office in Thailand.

The BOI website has a list of approved LTR agents. If you insist on using an agent, then it's one of those you should use.

They are not cheap, over 100,000 baht. I'm not sure why you would want to use one but they're there. You are still going to have to gather and submit all the required documents which is 99% of the work.

What are the current requirements for proving monthly income transfers for immigration in Thailand?

@Roberto ********

I can make a bank statement in 5 minutes using a pdf editor and ChatGPT. If it's not printed and stamped by the bank it is not an authentic document and should not be accepted.

What are the requirements for extending a DTV visa in Thailand?

Brandon ************

@Sebastian ********

except when you go back to immigration with all of them, they're going to have 2 or 3 new things. Once you get those and return there will be another round of new things. Repeat this until you run out of time and have to leave. They do not want to do DTV extensions.
