Popular Post Madgee Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) According to my mate 'Google': If there is a divorce your Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa will become invalid and you will be required to leave Thailand immediately. In some cases, you may be allowed to remain in Thailand until the Thai Marriage Visa expires, but you must first check at a Thai Immigration Office. All of the so-called legal firms seem to agree on this! Remember that many of these cowboys use the term 'visa' when they should be using the term 'extension of stay'. IMO, it's doubtful that immigration would pick this up unless they were informed by a third party so as others have stated, you should be good to carry on until your extension expires. Your decision of course. I did hear from a friend of a friends friend of someone who got reported to immigration by their ex-wife looking for revenge! A large overstay fine and immediate deportation with a 1-year blacklisting. How true it is I don't know but it does seem plausible.

retarius Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Yeah I'm thinking about becoming a bigamist. It has lots of advantages, but only one disadvantage....it's illegal. Now don't get me wrong, I am a strictly law abiding guy....but if someone doesn't find out about something, has it really happened? (straight out of Orwell that, and recent too, 1984). So to continue the rhetorical debate....if I happened to be married, and also happened to have a girl friend, then married her, she should change her passport to married, and I could leave mine as married because it doesn't give the name of the person I'm married to. This is all hypothetical you understand. What is the chance that someone in the immigration or pisspot office would notice that anything was amiss? And then what is the chance they would do anything about it, like arresting my ex-wife (because I'd blame her). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritTim Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 It is unlikely that staying in Thailand for a while after the divorce would lead to any serious consequences, but not certain. Once you are divorced, you are technically on overstay. If discovered, you will suffer all the usual consequences of an overstay in Thailand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the wife have to be present when you renew? For extension the marriage must "de jure" [kor ror 2] AND "de facto" [photos, IO home visit, and physical presence of the wife at renewal]. This should answer your question. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure (why, ''pretty''?) you are capable of doing research yourself. Yes, I am, and there's no correlation between the derogatory term "cowboys" and a person not using the exactly correct terminology for an extension. I just thought that you may have an interesting way of explaining it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxper Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 So I would have thought that once the marriage is dissolved, so is the extension due to marriage. I Don't think immigration would pick it up, but technically I think you might be on overstay, which if it does come to their attention will cause you big problems, particularly if you want to return to Thailand.

In the case where your wife should decease, then the extension period is still honoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean immigration will not discover about the divorce when the officer will check the passport?
