visa requirement

[blueeyes]

I plan to visit Thailand from UK mid October and need conformation as to exactly which visa I should apply for. I am married to Thai and have accomadation there. I plan to stay for five months. I plan to apply for visa here in the UK. I have bank statements which will show pension of over 1k pm in my UK bank. I do not have 400.000 showing in UK or thai bank.

I have been advised to apply for 1 Year marriage visa so what I am asking is what is the easiest and most suitable visa to apply for with the least financial requirements.

You can get a single entry non-O visa based on marriage which gives you a 90 day entry.  That can be extended in Thailand by 60 days to visit your wife.  No financials required.  There is no 1 year marriage visa.  A 1 year extension of stay requires 400k in a Thai bank.

or income of 40,000 baht a month?

When you apply for a single entry non-o visa at the embassy in London you just need the equivalent of 20k baht that is the standard amount needed for all visa applications.

Ok fully understand now thanks for clarifying.

I have posted this in visa section but hopefully ubonjoe can help with his expertise.

 

Can anyone explain to me what exactly are they asking for regarding question 8 on the application form for a non o visa.

the question reads.....

please upload a residence permit in a country which visa applications submitted [in case that applicants not a national of the country in which visa application is submitted]

I am in UK applying for non o single entry and we do not have residence permits here so I am confused.

could it possibly be they want proof of where I live as in mortgage statement?.

Either ignore it or if it's compulsory, upload passport again.

The embassy will not issue a visa unless you are citizen or legal resident of the country where you are applying or a country they or one they are responsible for.

If you a citizen of the UK just upload a copy of your passport photo page.
