Hello,

 

What are the current requirements to convert a visa exempt entry (45 days) into a 90 days non O marriage visa in Bangkok?

Do I need to provide proof of income or bank statements?

 

You need to provide 400k in Thai bank account on day you apply.

You need 15 days + remaining on your visa exempt stamp to apply. 

 

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? 

Does your embassy provide income letter? 

Some information in this thread.

Thanks DrJack54.

Yes I do have a thai bank account. I'll then transfer 400K THB prior applying.

 

Do I have to make an appointment in CW or can go without?

You can do walk in OR appointment.

Appointment system works a treat. 

Form for non O from visa exempt is TM87

If I decide to extend my 45 days visa exempt entry applying for a 60 days extension to visit my wife then a 30 days extension (135 days stay in total):

 

- How many days left on visa exempt/extension are needed before applying for these extensions?

 

- Can I still convert to non O with same conditions after visa exempt entry being extended?

Up till day of expiry of current permit.

Yes. 

Remember you require 15 days left on permit to apply for the non O

Let's say I enter Thailand with a 45 days exempt stamp then get a 60 days extension + another 30 days extension, then convert it into a 90 days non O marriage visa then apply for a 1 year extension.

 

When should I complete the TM30 reporting and the first 90-day reporting (in Bangkok CW)?
