I think you have to be married already for a marriage visa to be valid. Hence why the IO saw no merit in it. This is an opinion!

@Jim ********

yes

You can now enter with 60 day visa exempt. Makes the old 60 day tourist visa extinct. When you have 30 days left you can extend for another 30 days for 90 days total for ฿1900.

Probably UK and transfer what you need. Better rates on savings there and better investment options.

@Brad ******

no, non-o

Agents prefer that you come in visa exempt or other short term tourist visa. They know how difficult it will then be to open a bank account for the required 800k BEFORE you can apply in-country for a non-o. Applying via evisa before you arrive will provide you a Visa that makes it much easier to open an account on your own and will give you a month in country to find a place to live and open the account. It takes the agents out of the equation. You can still use one of you don't have the 800k but they become unnecessary.

You wouldn't be a tax resident for 2024.

@Imran ********

my non-o got approved the day after I arrived. Did a border bounce after finding a house to rent.. then back account, buy car, etc ...

@Michael *****

you postponed? Why didn't you just come in on 60day exempt and then once your visa is approved, do a border bounce to activate it?
