When you say “1-year-family-visa”, do you mean

a) multiple-entry non-immigrant visa, or

annual extension of stay?

Go out of the country and try for another non imm O multiple based on marriage..

Or does 'wife will not guarantee for me' mean you not on terms where she will provide even paperwork.

Providing you are still legally married, you should be able to obtain a new multi entry 'O' visa from Singapore or KL with a copy of your wedding certificate.... irrespective of whether you are still together or not. You will not however, be able to extend your stay without your wife present and willing to co-operate at the immigration office.

Without the required bank deposit (800,000) for over 50's on retirement, your going to have to do 3 monthly visa runs to the border and obtain a new visa every 15 months.

You are going to have to have more than a marriage certificate at most Consulates in Asia. Almost all require at least a signed copy of ID card and some even more. If you are not visiting wife you have no right to a non immigrant O visa regardless of marriage.

I'd respectfully have to disagree as I obtained a new 'O' visa every year for 5 years (up untill last year) in Penang with only my wedding certificate and an un-signed copy of my wife's I.D card - During the entire period we were separated whilst waiting for a divorce through the Thai family court in Phuket.....Please correct me if the regulations have changed since last August

The regulation is and was to visit family. There is no provision for issue of visa for marriage. The Consulate assumed that with presenting your wife's ID card that you would be visiting her.

Cheers Lopburi3,

I was never asked, but on that basis I'd have argued that I was visiting her 'in court'

Not really the nicest local for a visit.

Well i guess my wife wants a divorce but i dont. We are still in the process or she has not sued me yet. So i can go down to immigration and ask for a new visa? Or should i go to Singapore and show them the same documents as last year.

Have been away from computer last 4 days. You will not receive a visa from Immigration and from the sound of it you wife is not about to sign on to an extension of stay even you you had 40k family income proof. Singapore, as last report I read (if something posted this week have not read it yet), will only issue a multi entry visa with proof of a least 400k in bank account now so that would be another paper you would need.
