Do I need to season the 400,000 baht for a Non-O marriage visa extension in Thailand?

Alf ***********

Seeing that you were stamped in January for less than a year, I believe you entered on a re-entry permit and that your visa has already expired.

It is your permission to stay that expires in November.

So you need to get some kind of extension before that time

, your options are an 1 year extension based on either marriage or retirement.

Or you could apply for a 60 days extension for visiting Thai family. That would buy you some time to season the money

Why was my visa extension in Phuket dated from September 15 instead of September 26?

Alf ***********

, not without a non-immigrant visa.

A non-immigrant is a requirement for all 1 year extensions

@Gregor *********

, he can not apply for 1 year extension based on that stamp.

He will need to apply for a non-immigrant visa first.

What are my options for extending my stay in Thailand after entering on a Non-immigrant O visa based on marriage?

Alf ***********

You DO need to get the marriage registered in Thailand to get an extension based on marriage.

There is no "remarrying" involved. Just register your marriage at the amphur office

What are the easiest visa options for someone with a Non-O based on marriage in Thailand?

Alf ***********

One of the things immigration has to check, is if the marriage is de jure AND de facto. Hence all the paperwork and checks.

If you are over 50 years old, it's not very likely to change, hence less paperwork

Why does the financial requirement for a family dependent visa seem lower than that for retirees in Thailand?

Alf ***********

Just to add to the confusion..

Why is it that if you are a woman married to a Thai man, you don't have to show money at all? 🤔

Why Do I Need a Non-Immigrant O Visa Before Extending My Stay in Thailand?

Alf ***********

Because one of the requirements for an 1 year extension is that you have a non-immigrant visa

What visa options are available for UK expats looking to return to Thailand after retirement?

Alf ***********

You can get a non-immigrant O visa inside Thailand. But the normal thing to do is to get it in your home country.

An O-A visa can only be obtained in your home country, and is ALWAYS multiple entry.

METV is irrelevant here
