Visiting Thailand from UK end of November to 23 February with my Thai wife.

We haven't been back for a couple of years so would like advice please on the best visa option.

Is the 60 day tourist visa on entry still available, and how best to extend that for another 28 days?  

Grateful for any advice please.

Yes a visa exempt entry will give you 60 days and you can extend once for 30 days at your local immigration.

 

Your problem may be your air carrier not allowing boarding if you do not have proof of onward travel within 60 days.

A single entry Non-O based on being married to a Thai would work. That's what I would do. Avoids any kind of hassle.

OP, being UK you could do as @Mutt Daeng suggested and obtain a non O eVisa.

Based on marriage or retirement (if 50+) 

That option would avoid and dealings with immigration.

 

Yes visa exempt entry is currently 60 days and can be extended by 30 days at immigration.

That would require a TM30 and 1900b cost of extension.

Airline at departure may require an onward flight within 60 days.

You have a return ticket (same airline?) should not be an issue with explanation that you are obtaining 30 day extension.

But it would require financials;

 

Retirement

"Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB (£1,500) or having the current balance of 800,000 THB (£18,000), e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings
- Applicant's recent official UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, address ( Screenshots are not accepted). For monthly income of last 3 months no less than £1,500/ month.

"

 

Marriage

"Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB (£1,000) or having the current balance of 400,000 THB (£10,000), e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings
- Applicant's recent official UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, address ( Screenshots are not accepted). For monthly income of last 3 months no less than £1,000/ month."

 

The above are from the RTE London.

 

Maybe a 60 visa exempt and a 30 day extension is less hassle?

Of course it requires financials.

The OP would need to satisfy those requirements.

Obviously it would be funds in bank.

If that's not possible then he can enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain 30 day extension.

I just mentioned it, because no-one else had.
