    You didn't say, but is your marriage from abroad? If so, you're heading for a headache. First and foremost, you may not even be able to get a marriage certificate acceptable to Immigration. Why? Your embassy/consulate is probably closed  -- and you need an affidavit from them attesting to the validity of your marriage. Then, this affidavit and your marriage certificate need to be certifiably translated into Thai. Then, a trip to MFA to validate such certified translations. Then, when MFA validates such, you need a trip to your local Amphur, which may want your poo yai baan to accompany you, in order to receive your Kor Ror 22. This is the form you give to Immigration. Other problems? You need pictures of you and your wife next to your address post, plus another one from inside the house. Color or black n white -- portrait or landscape? Ubonjoe can guide you here. Then, of course, the wife must go with you to Immigration -- and you'll have to return 30 days later for the finalized extension. Certainly, if money were not a question, the retirement extension stands out -- particularly if renewal time finds a sickly -- or expired -- wife.

     

    If young enough now to do all the wickets to maintain a retirement visa (i.e., healthy enough to travel conveniently), that would be my suggestion. Sickness later on, either you or wife, will make a marriage extension problematic.

    Further to translated overseas marriage certificate if been married before you need copy of divorce certificate.

    Think that will be required to get form 22 from Amphur.

    I currently in process of doing change ext of O-A

  2. I had a Kasikorn credit card for 8 years. 30k just keep making payment half way through month if hits limit.

    Make sure you pay in full will get charged intrest even though you have the 30k in the account specially for the card.

    You collect points and I find convenient. I have had many 500bht Lazada and Sizzler vouchers from creditcard points.

    Know it only really a debit card but more convenient.

  3. I am an Aussie but USA national parks for me. 

    Road trip in good vehicle visit all 49 mainland states.

    Been USA 3 times and hired cars. 9 weeks, 4 weeks and 3weeks told 26k miles to about 15 states and 20 national parks and best holidays ever.

    Americans so lucky have such great National parks service and an annual parks pass cheap.

    Of course would need to see Trump so I could pi## myself laughing all the way home.

  5. When having a current O-A retirement extension is it possible to change to O-A marriage extension. 

    Money in bank for longtime.

    I self insured and don't want to buy costly insurance due to age and pre existing conditions.

    When I renewed last August IO said can do but maybe he not fully know.

    Is there anyone here on a O-A marriage Visa?

  6. Good luck to you, if you feel you love her and she same with you just go for it.

    I personally wouldn't seek advice here for anything to do with life or relationship.

    Want to know about Visa procedures or problems you in right place.

    Not all Thai girls are gold diggers, there are many people here just think of them as meat.

    I been married 3 times twice to Australian and now 9 years to my Thai wife. Wish I met her when I was your age.

    Good Thai ladies are here in the quanity. I have about 20 good friends married to Thais and everyone them are over the moon happy.

    I would suggest not seeking advice or relationships from the bar. It's your relationship you got a brain and a heart spend time together and see how it goes.

    Best of luck.
