Yes you can apply for a single entry tourist visa through the embassy/consulate that serves your area even though you’re not a resident of the actual country. Check with the particular embassy, most allow applications from foreigners.

If their father is Thai they can also get a Thai citizenship. (And still keep their Swedish one).

Good, after a couple of denials I opened with a initial Non O and RC in Bangkok Bank in February.

@Roberto ********

Ok, I understand that spouse could be something else than wife.

@Lynnette ******

Ok, then Non O and residence certificate is all he can provide. Practice varies in a bit illogical way. Some require a work permit or house book as well and some that the first one year extension of stay is done, but he’ll succeed with a Non O in the end.

You can open a bank account on a Non O visa although you might have to visit a couple of branches. Bring your wife and her house book if she has one.

@Hernandez ******

You can apply for the initial 90 days Non O visa through the embassy that serves your area with monthly income if you meet the requirements.

For the first year extension of stay in Thailand there’s no legal way around proving the first year yourself by banking 800K in a Thai bank account, unless your embassy offers to provide you a affidavit letter regarding income.

(Check with your embassy in Bangkok if they provide this service. The UK, US, CAN, AUS and Danish embassies don’t, but several from Western Europe still provide this service).

Then you’re already on your second year and only will be stamped back in on your current stamp or current permission to stay in Thailand. The Non O-A visa itself is expired or used.

You’ll get stamped in for another year or as long as your health insurance is valid. After 89 days you’ll have to do another 90 days report. Regarding TM.30 you’ll need to check with your immigration as some require an update when you re-enter from abroad.
