I’ll follow your advise thanks 🙏 , get the required docs upon my arrival in US . not much I can do now , just wait for wifes green card approval. until then I’ll have to border bounce every 3 months to Savann no big deal , just fills up passport quickly.

You are correct lordgrunz , my apostille is from my home state . I never had it certified by US Secretary of State . First time I ever heard of such a requirement . Difficult to acquire now from Thailand Im sure . The reality is , the officer wouldn’t even look at the state apostille and license. Just zero negotiations . You must have thai license or certificate from Thai Embassy, with Thai seal , nothing else will be accepted. Thanks for your help and advise .

If you think going over this woman's head would have resulted in the supervisor reversing her decision, that my documents are not legit ? Well hope you maintain that cheery optimism , Ive never seen a Thai happy about losing face , ever .

Yes lordgrinz we were married in US in 2015, wife retained her name . moved to Thailand in 2017 My marriage license from US does have the gold leaf apostille attached to it (expensive and time consuming to get) ,made no difference to officer . The letter from US embassy, expensive trip and time consuming also . Irrelevant to this woman. I have no answer for being treated like this . The wife had to do the arguing, and she nearly had a nervous breakdown! Later outside she was adamant that she had enough, never go back in that office again. I’ve already started greencard process for the wife , we both had enough. So long Thailand 👋🏾

My Non O was based on marriage from Savanna. , 90 days all you get now if money not in Thai bank. I expect even this to end soon . For many years I went and got a 1 year non o marriage visa , no money to show . all coming too an end , I think. Pay the large broker fees or border bounce every 3 months ,for now

Some more difficult hurdles at my local office (Mukdahan) went in yesterday 27th for a 2 month extension to visit wife , REJECTED i was on a 90 day non O from savannakhet, trying to extend it the ridiculous reasoning left me it dumbfounded and i just walked out they wanted to see marriage license, said ok have that then thai translation, certified said ok have that . US embassy letter (sworn affidavit) ok , here you go ,have that. she turns to my wife and says , no im not accepting these , they could be fake ! wife says they’re what we have provided for 8 years now , NO! Agent then pulls out a thai marriage certificate, with big thai seal , and says if it doesn’t look like this im not accepting it . wife says just give a tourist visa then , NO ! He not eligible for that . had to border run to Laos , just get 30 day exempt stamp , try figure this <deleted> out . time to go home , looking better all the time be prepared my friends, not getting easier

I just returned from Savan , last Wednesday applied for non O multi, marriage, rejected! she asked for bank statement from Thailand bank handed me back my statement from U.S bank , and point blank said money must be in Thai bank . You get 90 days only, come back tomorrow , no discussion

well for those of you looking for the info just back yesterday from Savan, applied for a non O multi , REJECTED I gave her all marriage docs plus my copy of bank account in a U.S with equivalent of 3million bht she asked me where your statement from Thai bank , I replied no Thai bank account she replied 90 days only , your done , come back tomorrow after 2 pleasant as a porcupine , snarl like pitbull . more n more fun all the time 55555

Thanks Tim I’ll give Savannakhet a try. I’ll post the outcome in a few weeks Cheers

Yes Hamus , offices everywhere but without 400k or 800k in thai bank no visa for you or me that why agent have a lucrative business

thanks for info Guys my visa will expire 1 Dec, any opinions about getting a retirement visa instead ? I can show funds in America (IRA) , would be easier and cheaper than agent I use in Pattaya ,. Plus i now have to show up in person for immigration photo , new rule (13 hrs on a bus sucks ! ) i live in mukdahan any thoughts ? Thanks 🙏
