What do you mean it would require 2 visits if you apply from within Thailand? Is that because you would apply for the Non O then have to go back to apply for the extension after you've had the money in the bank account for 2 months? If I get the Non O from the USA that means I open a bank account in Thailand when I arrive and then wait two months to apply for the extension correct? Thank you for your help.

Awesome thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Sorry for another question. I didn't think of it until after I sent the last one. Do they do a background check when you do an e visa? I checked the Thailand E visa website and couldn't find an application for a marriage visa.

How does it minimize visits to immigration in Thailand? Do you still have to check in every 90 days with an evisa? Do I apply for it through that Thailand evisa website? Thank you

I plan on getting the Non O while in Thailand. I don't have a bank account yet. I was there in September. We got married. I returned to the USA to save up some money. I'll get the non o and open an account when I go back. Thank you for your reply.

Hello everyone, It's been difficult to parse together what the process looks like for acquiring a Thai marriage visa with regards to a background check. On one page of Siam legal's website it says you need a clear criminal record and then on another page is doesn't mention there is a background check done as a part of the process. I've seen other legal sites that don't mention a background check. Is there a background check done as a part of the process? If so what kind of background check is done? I'd prefer responses from USA citizens who have gone through the marriage visa process. Thank you

Hello everyone, I would like my Thai wife to visit me in the United States. What would she need to make it more likely that she could get a tourist visa to come visit me. I've read that she would need to show the U.S. embassy that she intends to return to Thailand with money in her bank account and having a job. My wife has her own business. Someone told me they also want to see that she would have traveled to another non Asian country and returned to Thailand. They were told that by Siam Legal. My guess is it's not a requirement but would increase her chances of getting a tourist visa. Any information on how we can get her a tourist visa is appreciated. Thank you.
