When i just read this thread about how many farangs died in thailand, it really scared me... My husband and i are planning to retire in here mainly because his parents live in chiangmai after they moved back to thailand. Then i realize thay my in-laws are both 80 years old and they are still healthy. They eat out a lot so i guess people who died young were not due to food safety or weather or enviroment but how the lived their lives...

Yes, just use both passports! I carry both (new one and cancelled one which has my OZ visa on), actually they were stapled together. So, give immigration your new one then show them your visa on old one.

Hi Unonjoe - unfortunately we don't have those required visa only temporary residency visa so can not apply from here ?luckily we r moving out of here by early next year ?

Thanks a lot Ubonjoe! Yes I did post my Qs in another thread before I found this one. You definitly helped a lot. We are currently living in Australia so next time when we go back to US I'll try to apply for my O visa otherwise I'll do that in China where I go back more often than US... Thanks again??

You should be able to apply for the non-o in Australia dependent upon your status there.

From the Sydney consulate website. http://www.thaiconsulatesydney.org/Home/visa

"An applicant must hold a valid Australian Permanent or Temporary Resident visa However, some certain categories of visas are not accepted, for example, Business short stay visa 456, Visitor visa and etc."

Hi Ubonjoe, i'm in similar situation with bananafarang. My husbans is thai though he doesnt have a thai passport yet (will apply one soon). I'm chinese passport holder with permenant residency in US and Our marriage license is from US so i'll need to get my marriage license certified in US embassy then translate both to thai then get MFA certification?

Hi Bananafarang, did u wife apply for non O visa in china? So we need to provide marriage license along with certified paper? Do u know if i have to translate my US marriage license into chinese?

Thanks both of u

Hi Newbie here. My husband is thai but US citizen also and we got married in US, so the only marriage certificate is from US. I'm chinese passport holder with US greencard. Now we are planning to live in thailand. so i'll need to apply for a non O visa. My question is what other documents are needed other then go to US embassy to get our marriage license notorized?
