SERGERAMOS

I did a non o in the uk I had to show funds in my uk bank account and marriage certificate. I then entered Thailand and was stamped in for 90 days. I went to udon Thani immigration and got a residence certificate so I could open a Thai bank account which I did. while I was at immigration I asked about extending my visa at the end of 90 days and was told I could get 45 days i asked about extending my visa after the 45 days for 1 year for marriage and was told it would be more easier if I did a retirement visa but had to have 800000 in my bank for 2 months if I have got my wires crossed I do apologise as my wife was doing the talking

I have just done the non o based on married to a Thai a couple of weeks ago and have no Thai bank account.I was under the impression that when you apply in the uk you don’t need to show the £10000 in your bank ( £5000 is enough ) in the uk.you only need show this when you apply for the yearly extension in a thai bank. I went to immigration and they gave me a letter to prove my address for opening a bank account ( which I did at k bank ) they advised me to apply for retirement visa as a marriage visa is to complicated. I’m now in the process of doing this I also asked about extending my visa based on having a Thai wife and was told I could get 45 days hope that helps

Thanks mate for your insight think I will arrive with a non o if that’s the case

My marriage is also registered in Thailand the problem is I don’t have a Thai bank account and I’m not sure if I can open 1 given the clampdown they are having at the moment

I don’t have a Thai bank account and was married in the uk

My plan for the second visit would be to stay for 12 months or maybe longer I’m not sure yet

Hi all I am planning to return to Thailand from the uk at the end of September with my Thai wife I would like to stay more than 6 or 7 months then return to the uk for 2 months and then return back to Thailand. I am 64 years old and don’t have a Thai bank account. I want to get a visa to enter Thailand my question is what is the best visa I can get should I go for a METV or a non o based on marriage or retirement cheers

There are 2 rules to trading rule no1 never lose money rule no2 don't forget rule no1

Happened on Friday they pulled at least 5 people out of the queue to get stamped out all falangs were all told they have to fly back to thailand and if tried to enter by land border they would be refused entry no exceptions

Any one thinking of doing a quick turn around run to nong khai had better be prepared to get denied coming back in from loas thai immigration are telling falangs they now have to fly from Vientiane to Bangkok if they want to return to thailand with no exceptions you are now forced to go to the airport and book an expensive flight to Bangkok and if you can manage to get a flight you are being pulled out at Bangkok for only staying 1 or 2 days in loas so just a heads up to anyone thinking of going

I have done this visa before I went down the money I have saved in the bank route to prove you can look after your wife with out her use of public resources at the time it was roughly 68 grand I'm not sure what it is now the cost of the visa was about 3 grand all in all but went up to 5 grand when I went to renew it after 2 years 8 months so I decided not to renew it and get her a tourist visa to come to the UKfor 6 months in the summer and I would visit her in thai for the winter if you have the resources to do this I would suggest go down the money in the bank rule it can also be combined with your salary so hence not to much money saved

I got the 60 day extention last year so I know it is possible but now because of the new 60 day exemption when I first arrived I can not get the thai spouse 60 day extension I would like to know of anyone who has tried to do this or am I the only one. as for your link this refers back to when you only got 30 days on arrival not 60 days as of now

I am in udon thani and they have told me that I can not do the 60 day marriage extension as I had the new 60 day exemption when I arrived I can only extend this by 30 days and must do a border run when this is up

Hi all I have come to Thailand on a visa exemption and was given 60 days I have been to immigration to extend by another 30 day can I extend this by another 60 days as I have a thai wife or was this only allowed before the new 60 day visa exemption

I am currently in udon Thani and I’m amazed how many falangs have dyed jet black hair. It’s pretty obvious how stupid some of these people look but probably think it makes them look younger I’ve also seen a few dyed ginger ones as well is this the norm for Thailand
