We went to live here, as getting Schengen visa, was hell, and we love both Thailand. We have a normal relation of 10 years now, so the dessert was not an issue

My wife is Philippine, younger, we married in Pattaya, and got her on my retirement visa with no problems.

Officially yes, 90 days, after arriving. They not check that, only the validity of the permet itself. For insurance is another matter.

And costly. Could be done in a week, time for Belgian embassy to deliver.

Write here, or by link of Embassy. Ask your question directly. I would not be surprised if the certificate has to be apostalised in Philippines. I was married to my wife in Thailand. It is registered at Belgian embassy but not bothered to do at Phil 's one. Let us know what they answer. i really hope you not have to get a red ribbon by DFA, took 4 months to have documents, done there.

Thanks

Could I be enlightened. The time the 800.000 Baht, has to be on a account when you ask extension? Some say, 2, other 3 months.....

@Ekkehard ******

this is not totally true. In March 2020 Thailand went in lockdown, and it was impossible to enter the country. In autumn, little by little the country opened up, first with special, expensive visa's , and by December, with normal visa, to get end of that month, the visa exemption again. All then by 15 nights quarantaine.
