Family Visit Visa

[chris.m.s]

Hi all,

sorry it's taken so long to post but immigration in KK will

issue Family Visit Visa's but you do need a letter from the

Amphoe to say you are still married,

Also a friend is going for a non o 3 month visa i asked a 

visa agency in BKK what was required and they said p/p

and 2 photo's that's all is that right he is going to immigration

as it is cheaper i only asked my friend in BKK so he can go with

the right paperwork is what she told me right,

you don't need yellow house book or anything just the visa form,

p/p and 2 photo's,

 

Regards,

Chris.m.s

Immigration does not issue visas other than a 90 day non immigrant visa entry if on a visa exempt or tourist visa entry and a person can qualify for an of certain types of extensions of stay.

A 60 day extension can be issued if married to or the parent of a Thai. To apply for one to visit your wife some offices want a recent printout of the Kor Ror 2 marriage registry from a Amphoe . Also the original marriage certificate plus a copy, copies of the wife's house book registry and ID card.

Ok thanks that is where he will struggle he is not married and no children,he is due to start work and didn't

want a non b visa because it's tied in with the company so when his contract finishes he said his visa will be

cancelled,i don't know i've never had a non b before.

A non-b visa is his only choice and then a extension of stay based upon working that goes away when the job ends.

If the BKK agent is applying for a Non-O 90-Day based on Thai wife, the "only need PP + photos" means they will go to the amphoe to get the proof-of-marriage for you (the cost per printout is 20 Baht).  They may also be faking the financials for their clients.  But if one does not have immediate Thai-family, you will not qualify for this - even with agent-help.

Kor Ror 2 marriage registry from a Amphoe .

Is there any office that does it with just a foreign Marriage certificate ? Ours is certified original.

We need another document which is being shipped hopefully soon but may arrive to late to apply for Kor Ror 22 and have my visa extended.

To apply for a 60 day extension a Kor Ror 22 should not be required. Your foreign marriage certificate should be enough.

To apply for a one year extension a Kor Ror 22 will be required.

The Kor Ror 2 or 22 does not appear on any official list of required documents to apply for a 60 day extension.

Try explaining that you are waiting for the paperwork to register your foreign marriage at an Amphoe to get the Kor Ror 22.

You wife has to be with you when you apply. That is to meet number 2 under criteria.

I am sure they will want a copy of her ID card and her house book registry.

He probably applied for a 30 day extension of his visa exempt entry.

Good if they will let you apply for the 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) entry.

Here is my general list of what is need for an extension but is about the same for the visa application.Marriage Extension Requirements 2.pdf

I assume you have the 400k baht in a Thai bank.

Requirements for the visa are here. https://bangkokimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/06-edit_NON-O.pdf

My first visa is a 3 month one which i don't need to show 400,000bht 

i have to have that to then get my 1 year visa,i can't get the 1 year 

from the amnesty immigration have told me that,but as i asked will

my wife's passport be ok or does it need to be her i.d as you can't get

a passport with out i.d and your passport number goes on your i.d

The 400k baht is needed but it only needs to be in the bank on the day you apply for a non immigrant visa needed to apply for the one year extension of stay (it is not a visa) at immigration.

UJ already mentioned that you need to show evidence that the 400K has to be on your personal thai bank-account (a joint one with your wife is not accepted) at the moment of application for your 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage.

When you make use of a Fixer Agent they can let the need for the 400K disappear (at a fee of course), but when applying yourself it is absolutely needed.

And it has then to be for at least TWO months on your bank-account never dipping under 400K when applying for the 1-year extension of stay based on that Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage.  And it has to remain there during the 'under consideration period' (3-4 weeks) before you get the 1-year permission to stay stamp in your passport.  Once you have that stamp you can use the 400K as you please, and only need to top up again to 400K two months before the moment of application for your NEXT 1-year extension of stay application.

As said already you do need 400k baht in the bank on the day you apply for a 90 day non immigrant visa entry. I think you might be confusing it with the 60 day extension to visit you wife.

No sure they will accept the passport instead of the her ID card. The passport has her ID number on it but not the address or expiration date shown on it. Could she send a copy (or photo of it to you).

I am somewhat confused by your post.

Are you saying that when you applied at KhonKaen IO for the 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of visiting your thai wife, that you did NOT have to show any evidence of meeting the financial requirements (e.g. 400K on a personal Thai bank-account at the moment of application)?

That's right Peter i didn't go for the family visit visa i applied for the Non o visa 

as i'm married to a Thai the girl at immigration phoned my wife and told her what

paperwork we required,photo's of myself and my wife outside the house next to 

the house number inside in the living room,kitchen,bedroom and 3 copy's all signed

her i.d,blue house book,yellow house book, marriage cert,new kor ror 2 not copy's 

they didn't ask for proof of 400k and i picked it up last friday.
