What are the COVID-19 travel costs and requirements for working in Thailand?

Steve *********

Your employer should organise much (if not most) of this. You might also check with the embassy of Thailand in your country.

What are the financial requirements for applying for a Non-Immigrant O visa in Thailand if married to a Thai national?

Steve *********

There are 2 financial requirements to extend a marriage visa - you need to fulfil one or the other.

Either : 400,000 in a Thai bank that you simply do not ever go below. Or 40,000 or more (not 1 baht less) EVERY month going into your Thai bank FROM ABROAD.

Which visa should I apply for as a spouse of a work permit holder in Thailand?

Steve *********

Your first port of call is the Thai embassy. I'm not sure what it's official name is, but there IS a visa often called "trailing visa" which can be used by relatives of foreigners. HOWEVER, Mr Covid has screwed up the normal course of things and several visa types are suspended for the duration of the pandemic.

Will a COVID test validity of 72 hours expiring 5 hours before landing in Bangkok cause any issues?

Steve *********

Most countries require a covid test a set number of hours BEFORE DEPARTURE. A few places require it timed before ARRIVAL (Thailand isn't one of those).

This is really a matter for personal preference. Everyone wants different things. Our preferred hotel in BKK has always been the VIE. Others will be different.
