You can do on a tourist visa. The affirmation of your marital state from your embassy might be the most difficult thing to do.

Get it translated and the rest is fairly easy.

I got the paper work done in about 5 days and then you have to wait on the town hall.

difficult to get as I live in Spain but I’m English, long to visa no good as at my age health insurance is prohibitive.

one time the immigration officer was a bit stroppy, so I asked when I did my extension and in immigration when I left and both said there would be no problem. Last time I arrived the girl said you come often why? And why no visa.

I do the same and they have started to ask me why I don’t get a visa.

I am old married to a Thai lady and visit visa exempt 3 or 4 times a year and they ask me the same questions and suggest I get a visa.

For medical and age reasons I don’t want a marriage visa. When I get my visa extension the officer tells me I can come as often as I want, as long as I fly.

Leaving the country last trip I asked in the airport immigration office and they told me the same thing.

So what they say on the immigration desks and in the offices are different.

I had the same when I entered the last time. When I extended I asked the officer and he said I would have no problem reentering. Not being convinced after immigration at the airport I went to the office and asked the same question and after studying my passport he said there would be no problem as I only come by air.

@Luiza ****

no problem, you get another 45 days.

I asked on my way out of Thailand last week. I spoke to a senior officer who studied my passport and his reply was by air there is no problem, land crossing yes. Last year I visited 5 times and was becoming worried. I also get a 30 day extension.

I send money by wise to my wife, best exchange rate, plus non fee when she does a withdrawal.

@Jo ******

I got back 2 days late.
