Volunteering also requires a WP, I'm afraid. 🙃

@Elizabeth ******

I seriously suggest you ask a Thai immigration office and the Royal Thai Embassy in the country your concerned about. 🙄

The website you post is hardly an official Thai government site, innit?

This could be you:

@Fateh *****

Hurry up and apply, mate.

It's astounding. (That you haven't applied yet)

Time is fleeting!

Madness takes its' toll...

So listen closely...

Great school

@Stuart ********

The warnings are placed into the computer file of the individual;

it'll be up to the next officer; however, innit?

@Albert *******

A trifle pedantic, but...

Nobody has ever gotten a "45 day visa" they don't exist.

The 45 day "free visa exempt entry" stamping in is slated to cease on April 1, 2023. Unless it doesn't, and they decide to continue this policy.

Official government website from which you may apply.

Do speak with the Royal Thai consulate in your area. If you're in California, there's one in LA.

Your wife can also gain insight from speaking to other Thai spouses in LA; she/you may be aware of the Thai Chamber of Commerce in LA and, of course, little Bangkok. 😉

Do forget about the elite visa entirely. It's a waste of money for you.

You're old enough to get a non-immigrant O based on retirement or marriage... though is your marriage registered in your wife's local Amphur?

Read up on the government website please; search this forum a bit more; this issue has been covered many times, mate.

As for travel in and out, you'll need a "multiple re entry permit; which is completely separate from any visa.

I reckon things will also depend on your American laws concerning your wife wanting to keep her green card or not...

check from that angle as well.

Good luck
