I converted my tourist visa to a non-immigrant (marriage) visa last April 17th! The friend who wrote the post was very generic! He didn't say why they can't convert it! If it's because he doesn't have a Thai bank account, if he does have one but doesn't have enough money! Or he went to an immigration office that doesn't want to convert it even though! Or the marriage isn't registered in Thailand and there isn't enough time to register it and apply for the visa! If the friend could specify the reasons it would be easier to answer you! One thing is certain, the law provides that it is possible to convert the tourist visa!

Why do you want to add her name? If she dies before you, will you have to split half of her money with her children

you are welcome and remember...as soon as you arrive in Thailand, your husband has to open the bank account! I know that as soon as you Thai women return from abroad, you have to go visit all your relatives and friends, you have to introduce your husband to everyone 🤣😂 but think about opening the bank account first, it's important! Just out of curiosity...where are you going to live? My wife and I live in the province of Udon Thani

@Chrysanthemum ****

yes of course now with tourist visa can't open bank account!he has to apply for e visa non-o immigranti (marriage) in Netherlands!listen to me!your husband has to open a bank account as soon as possible he arrives in Thailand because for getting extension visa he has to have 0 bank at least 2 months before he applies for the extension!avoid Bangkok bank!

@Chrysanthemum ****

you Don't Need to apply in Laos!your husband can apply for a non-o visa online in Netherlands or if he already has 0 bath on a thai account he can come with visa exemption visa and convert It in a non-o visa (marriage) at immigration in Thailand

Banks are private institutions and are subject to private law, but they perform a public interest function, so the government should intervene when they engage in unfair practices! This is a dangerous precedent, because if the government doesn't intervene, other banks, or all of them, could engage in the same unfair practices! Today, everything is computerized. At least give customers the opportunity to resolve the problem at any bank branch, not just where they opened their current account! This is just a ploy to stall and keep customers' money for as long as possible! And then there's the driver's license! So, someone who doesn't have a driver's license because they're disabled or too old to renew it can't unfreeze their current account?

It's shameful what's happening! I can understand that they can block your online transactions! But how can they freeze your bank account? For what reason? What do the Thai government ass-kissers (there are many in this group) think?

allora è un po' complicata la situazione! Non potresti avere un altro visto e ne entrare con l esenzione perchè hai un valido permesso di rientro! La soluzione migliore è sfruttare il permesso di rientro e li estendere di un anno! Lo so che tu hai detto non vuoi fare un altra estensione pero' se hai I requisiti per ottenerla richiedila alla fine ti costa 1900 bath che è piu economico dell altra opzione che sarebbe uscire e rientrare dal paese entro il 14 Novembre ma questa è rischiosa perchè stanno Facendo controlli molto piu severi se tu negli anni precedenti sei stato in thailandia con un non immigrant visa loro possono pensare che non entri per motivi turistici e allora ti possono negare l ingresso! Poi se non hai I requisiti per richiedere l estensione allora sei costretto a riuscire e rientrare via Terra ma è meglio che non fai da solo ma ti rivolgi ad un agenzia del posto da solo potresti avere problemi con un agenzia al 99%dovrebbe filare tutto liscio

Matteo ma tu Prima di uscire dalla Thailandia hai fatto un permesso di rientro?

Because my girlfriend, who later became my wife, was with me! If I had been alone, I think they would have forced me to return to Italy
