What documents are required for a Non Immigrant O visa extension in Bangkok for a foreigner married to a Thai national?

Wayne *******

@Jean-baptiste ******

great informative post fella. 👏👏👏.

In my 8 years here have had to use 3 different immigration offices and they all had different requirements. And … the requirements also changed a little at each immigration office over time re marriage visa.

Sorry to butt in on your post.

Samut Prakan one of the strictest offices. (Almost pedantic one could say).

Dot your i’s and cross your t’s.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Should I get a re-entry permit before applying for an over 50 visa in Thailand?

Wayne *******

Colin Boyland correct. The funds can come into your account from anywhere for marriage visa. Do not have to come from overseas. They just want to see 400k baht in your account seasoned for the 2 months prior to the day ‘you apply’.

I’ll leave the ‘documents’ queerie to Tod and Ellie as it can vary from different offices.
