What are the options for expats who need to financially support a marriage visa in Thailand?

Michael *******

Just done it! Apply for none 0 first. Note you cant leave the country during this period. Then i applied for marriage visa. 1 year. Makesure you 400.000 does not dip below even 1 baht. Or your application will fail. Be prepared for immigration police visits at your residence. Photos etc.

Is the 60-day visa on arrival still valid for travelers to Thailand?

Michael *******

a-Free Stay to 30 Days. Thailand plans to reduce visa-free stays from 60 days to 30 days to prevent illegal businesses from misusing the visa exemption scheme, according to the Tourism and Sports Ministry. Watch this space!

30 easily extended. 1900 baht.
