@Steve ******

you mean you block people who have have an opinion which differs from yours. Better yet, people who prove you’re wrong. Sounds a bit childish if you ask me. Grow up!!

@Brijendra ****

it will need to be translated to Thai. Or a Thai marriage certificate. I was married in Thailand, so I have a Thai marriage certificate.

@Us ****

you don’t need to try and school me on how it works. I’ve been here long enough to understand the way of the land. I maybe married, doesn’t mean out of touch with the goings on. I still enjoy the life here.

@Steve ******

I’d take his advice over anyone out there. One of, if not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Thai visas.

@Steve ******

oh wise one, how wrong you are. But I’ll let you think what you want. Just because you weren’t asked for it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a requirement. Your facts are wrong. It’s ok, you can’t always be right. I’m sure it’s just an ego thing. You’ll be fine!!

@Steve ******

it’s not needed until they ask for it. It was a requirement at one point. So why not be prepared. For the one minute it would take to write it, does it really matter if they ask for it or not? Or do you just want to argue for the sake of arguing over it?

If it wasn’t needed, why did they look through all my documents, letter and all, and then take everything?

@Steve ******

needed or not. When I went, they took everything I had, including the letter. I didn’t have my wife with me. He will have his wife with him. Chances are, he won’t need it. Having one ready doesn’t hurt either.

@Brijendra ****

that’s great, she’ll be there with you. She’ll be able to wait in line with you. Be prepared to stand in a lineup, in the heat. There is a coffee shop and a print shop across the street. But I will warn you, be careful crossing that road. I saw a woman get hit by a motorcycle when I was there. It’s a busy road.

Yes, I’ve done it a couple of months ago.

I would bring all original documents as well. I had all original and a copy of everything. They didn’t ask to see the originals though. I have read, in the past where some were asked to show all originals as well. Better to be over prepared.

Check the website and make sure you have everything you need for the Non-O. One thing they don’t mention is the letter from you wife. I just had her state she wanted them to issue me the one year multiple entry non-o. It doesn’t have to be a long letter, just something they states she wants you here in Thailand.

Make sure you have copies of everything. If she took your last name, make sure you have those documents too. It’s a one day turn around for the visa. Drop off everything one day, pick up the next afternoon.

The only two different visas are the tourist and non-o. They both take the same anoint of time to receive. I’m pretty sure the non-o is easier for you as you’re married to a Thai. The tourist visa requires bank statements if I remember correctly.

If you’re using a marriage certificate form Canada, it’s going to have to be translated into Thai. You’re able to pay in Thai baht. If you’re looking for the multiple entry, you have to write that in at the top as it’s not listed but they do give it. I was there a couple of months ago and did all this.

@Oliver *******

not true. There’s a rule, only 2 land border crossings in a calendar year. It’s unlimited by air. But, if you’re abusing the visa exempt stamp, the immigration officer will eventually start to ask question. That exempt stamp isn’t for living in Thailand.
