oh I see, you are not even married to a Thai wife yet. . . You must get an apostille from your Lithuanian embassy in Thailand in order to get legally married inside Thailand. And for this you will have to fulfill the requirements of your home country which they have set up for you AND your Thai partner for being able to get married . . Where you are residing at the moment, doesn't cut any ice

I suggest you join the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) Facebook group and ask there, they are more specialized on this topic

always use a translation company which got a recommendation from your country's embassy. Because it is your embassy who has to first legalize everything, before you take it to the MfA. Sometimes the embassy website lists adresses of competent translation services.

@Ivan *****

The “normal”route for this is:

***use a translation service which is recommended by the Bangkok located Embassy of your country

***get an appointment at your embassy and have the documents and the translation “legalized”

***visit a branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and get them “co-legalized” (either main office in Bangkok and a legalization office in the 4th floor of the Central mall in Pattaya, or any of its subsidiaries in Ubon Ratchathani, Songkhla, Phuket and Chiang Mai)

*** for the main MfA office in Bangkok you need an appointment

*** with these “co-legalized” documents, you can get your marriage acknowledged and registered inside Thailand on your local Amphoe office

maybe your wrong wording is because English is not your native language. A visa will be used for entering a country. When you enter, you get a "stay permit" stamped in your passport. You live in the country on a stay permit, not on a "visa". A multi entry Non-Imm-O/A visa becomes invlid after 365 days. After the expiry of the visa validity it is only the stay permit which allows you to remain in Thailand

@Michael *****

you don't have a Non-Imm-O/A visa anymore if you have been in Thailand for longer than two years. You are in Thailand on a "1-year extended stay permit". The 365-days multi entry Non-Imm-O/A visa you entered Thailand with, is already "used" or "invalid". It is already past its validity date.

The advantage of the better exchange rate WISE is offering, is being eaten up compared to a direct SWIFT transfer from bank to bank, when we talk about sums of 25,000 GBP and more. A SWIFT transfer costs a flat fee, however not so good an exchange rate. A WISE transfer might use a better exchange rate, but the higher the sum transferred, the higher the fees. At a certain point the direct SWIFT transfer gives you a better result as the WISE transfer

you can withdraw the 800,000 THB deposit on the day after you get your new 12-months extension stamped and inked, based on the 12-months banking statement of transfers from abroad of monthly 65K. It's good you used your own funds, because if an agent fronted them, you won't have followed the requirements of keeping the funds in your account for 3 months after being issued the extension and never gone under 400,000 in the rest of the year. Immigration will check your bankbook accordingly.

@John *********

you rather got something like that, instead of "single" it says "multiple"- The top stamp is an "extended stay permit" and the reason it was issued for has been stamped above, it says "Retirement". This is NOT a visa. The headline above the re-entry permit stamp says "Non-Imm" which is the generalization fitting a dozen of visa classes for which a re-entry permit can be bought for

@Pete ******
