they are all invaluable and guide us through an immigration black hole.

Previously I asked for certified replicas and got them from the county court where we were married and the probate judge was who we contacted. This was in S.C. Hope something here helps.

yes, we did it a while ago at the CM US consulate. We just did an affidavit and they stamped/certified that. 50 bucks. You then get it translated into thai and get it approved by the MFA. If you need a thai version of marriage certificate, you take the MFA certified document with a translated US marriage certificate to your local Amphur and they issue you a registered thai marriage certificate called a korror22, 200 baht i think it was. Oddly the US consulate didnt want to see the US certificate, didnt read the affidavit and didn't even ask what it was about. just stamped it up asked me to raise my right hand and swear and hand over the cash.

I had cash in a bank mutual fund and IO wouldnt accept it. Basic savings or fixed rate account they said.

40k or 400k baht?

obviously he has to comply with TP requrements

can bring him in on 30 day visa exemption and later get him started on his own non-O visa process. Details on many past comments in this group.

I never leave the area until I've checked it.

I've met quite a few with longstay non-O visas that came in with TP with only 30 days insurance

I think the police clearance document takes weeks anywhere, was 6 weeks in UK. If you want to apply for a non-OA then ask for it asap. If you arrive on 30 day visa exemption you can go down the non-O path after a while which doesn't require insurance. How do do this is outlined in many previous posts.
