@DrJack54 I'm 30. I understand that over 50 you can get an agent.

I honestly don't want to deal with immigration and paperwork. I've been to Chaeng Wattana plenty of times for work and tourist visa related matters. 

I'm just trying to see if there are agencies/law-firms that can represent me at Chaeng Wattana for my yearly  marriage visa renewals? Are there?

Not really understanding your post. 

It’s not Amazon. It’s Thailand.

Amazon US always says they will ship in 5 days but it comes in at 3 days.

If you should ever have a break in employment and no longer can show 12 consecutive months of income over 40k, you have a serious problem as you'll be invited to leave your wife and family behind as you are unceremoniously kicked out of the country.  No break in employment and income my man.  No temporary unpaid furlow due to Covid-19.   Due to no fault of your own you could find yourself tossed out.  The Sword of Damocles will hang forever suspended by a horse hair over your head.  Like most of us.
And given the current Covid hysteria, the option of obtaining a multi-entry non-O visa based on marriage is now out of the cards,  And if borders do reopen I would not depend on that avenue.

 

Again.  Thailand has no compassion for the basic human-rights of a Foreigner-Thai marriage.
If you really love your girlfriend, take her back to the US and marry her there.

I agree with you about Thailand not being concerned with foreigners. I've seen other foreigners kicked out for any reason. Taking her back to US is something I'm considering.

I suggest that unless you plan to take her back to America where she can obtain a green card and get set on the path of permanent residency and citizenship, you may want to rethink marriage. 

You will be a third class, non-resident "visitor" for the entire time you are married to your Thai wife and living within Thailand.  You'll submit requests annually for permission to "temporarily" reside with your wife and family.  You'll be required to report your address every 90 days much like a felon out on parole.  There is no path to either permanent residency or citizenship base on your marriage - unlike the US and just about every other country in the world.

This is a highly nationalist and xenophobic country and as a foreigner you're not welcome nor wanted. Possibly unless you are independently wealthy.  You've been warned.

You make a good point. It's something that I have thought about with my girlfriend-taking her back to the US. You're right. I have felt the nationalist and xenophobic side of the country.

What is your age?

How do you intend supporting yourself and your lady in Thailand?

 

Basically, if under 50 :-

• You have to report your address every 90 days, easy enough as it can be don online.
• You have to renew your permission to stay every year, this involves visting immigration and financial requirements (400k Baht in the bank or an income of 40k Baht per month).

Others will be able to fill in the details once we know more about you.

 

I'll move this to the visas forum for more directed responses.

 

EDITED to correct the numbers and avoid heart attacks.

@Crossy Thank you. You answer my question perfectly. I'm 29. I'm an English teacher making 45,000 baht a month. My girlfriend is an accountant at a major Bangkok corporation. She is well off. I probably need to save up more for the 400k in the bank. 

I'm American. A year ago, while working in Thailand. I met my thai girlfriend. I'm planning to get married to her in Thailand and stay in Thailand. 

After I get all the paperwork process to get married to her officially in Thailand, I'm wondering if there are any additional paperwork I need to do to stay married to her in Thailand (1 year, 3 years, 10 year period). I heard that you still need to do a 90 day report to the government. 

I heard from another foreigner (UK) married to a thai. He has to do some type of yearly check-in/report at Chaengwattana immigration.  

After marriage paperwork gets processed and I'm official married in Thailand, are there any yearly or monthly government obligations?
