you cannot get a 1-year Non-Imm-O marriage visa anymore. It got discontinued by October 2023. And on the consulate of Savannakhet, the last multi entry 1 year Non-Imm-O marriage visa got issued in May 2024. After this date they discontinued to issue it. Regardless if you show 400,000 or not

@Nav *******

in order to be able to apply for the "1-year Extension of Stay based on marriage to a Thai wife" on Immigration, your marriage must have been acknowledged in Thailand. Immigration will ask you for a fresh printout of the "Kor Ror 2 or 22" marriage registry from the local Amphoe (whichever applies to your marriage) which will prove your still lasting relationship

@Nav *******

no, you can only get a 90-days Non-Imm-O marriage visa. Once back in Thailand, up from 30 days before the 90-days stay permit expires, you can apply for the "1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on being married to a Thai wife". The "extension" is NOT a visa, altough many people call it "marriage visa". The extension is a simple 1-year stay permit which has to be applied ("renewed") every year. The financial proof for the application to the visa is 400,000 THB on any bank account as long as you prove it is in your name. The financial proof for the 1-year Extension is 400,000 THB on a Thai bank account in your sole name, and the money must have seasoned in this account for 2 months on the day of the application (I didn't mention the financial proof can also be done with an affidavit of income over a monthly minimum 40,000 THB or equivalent)

the funds needn't be in Laos, right? They can be outside of Laos, right? 🤣

@Nav *******

you have to declare any cash over 20,000 US Dollar equivalent to the Thai Customs when bringing in into Thailand. You can bring as much as you want. However, the customs of your home country might have a limit, too, up from which you have to declare when exporting cash. How much this is, you need to ask your home country's Customs Office. The limit before you have to declare normally is 10,000 USD or Euros, in other countries

@Bob *********

no, you can show funds equivalent to 400,000 THB in a Thai bank or a foreign bank account in your sole name, for the e-visa application

@Alain **********

you are not old enough to apply for a Non-IMM-retiremnet visa. Only if you are married to a Thai wife, you can apply for a visa

well, you got stamped in for a 60-days stay permit, when you entered visa-exempt on March 18. However this stay permit now is void and expired, because you left Thailand on March 29

@Wayne ********

I hope each of your three insurances allows other insurances alongside it. Have you read their fine print?

@Osian *******

here in this group there are people who claim that you can open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa, if you use and agent and if you are willing to buy more of their services, like a visa service, from that agent. I just wonder why they all keep quiet and haven't posted yet, directing you to the "right" agents
