There are a number of threads on this subject recently, you will still need the 400k when you apply for it.

You can get married in Bangkok if you want. There's no need or benefit to do it in her home town. Might save some time and hassle. I used a company who took care of everything including providing translations, witnesses, transport and anything else needed. All unnecessary but made life simple. Oh, and congratulations to you both!

What would the advantage be in doing that from Pattaya?

I sent 75kTHB from the UK yesterday. 10 seconds.

Approx? It only needs to be there 2 months, so will it or not? If yes why the agent?

I have used this service to extend tourist visa entries. In both cases VFS came back to me asking for additional information over and above what they list on the website. Chances are high that the same would happen with all the normal extra things asked for a marriage extension. Once pre-approved you then go to immigration where all the documents are checked again. Didn't have any issues there but a marriage extension is more involved but theoretically it's pre-approved so ought to be OK. The advantages are the pre-approval, confirmed appointment time and, at least at CW, you attend a quieter, less frenetic area on the 3rd floor away from the hordes below.

That is what I did in another country, and what I would again. 9 times out of 10 her ongoing needs will be greater than your own.

I think I'd be inclined to invest the THB 1131 and get the visa. Turing up based on these "posts" is not likely to get you very far.

IATA says you do.

17 years ago they had it just right.....

No photo's required. You don't "apply" for it, just go to the immigration desk and they will stamp you in.

So you can enter visa exempt, 60 days. During that time convert to a single non-O, 90 days, at immigration and in the last 30 days of that go back for a 12 month extension of stay. Alternatively, you can apply for a single non-O e-visa (retirement) whilst you are in Australia, that cuts out the conversion step. Either way you'll need 800k in the bank when you get the non-O.

Are you really sure you want a visa on arrival rather then a visa exempt entry? What passport are you holding?

Don't have that. And a correction - first time I tried the Mi Browser I realised I was not logged in. Logged in and the "follow" option appears.

Sure. OK, it's still there on Chrome but not on the Mi Browser.

It's there on my Note 13 running the Aseannow app.. .

The only thing I have read about insurance is the reduction in the coverage required for an O-A visa. What is the "major hit" you are referring to?

Coming from where? Tourist visa will get you 60 days without having to go to immigration.

That looks nice, which restaurant in Pattaya did you take that photo?

I think a lot of these stories are simply made up. Shame.

Exactly, if I was carrying 40 baht of gold I reckon I'd notice if I dropped it. Perhaps it was one of many bags? She reported the "theft", or her own stupidity?

This.

Seems clear enough.

You do to initally register. Only after that you can use wifi.
