What is the process for filing the evisa non o for a spouse?

[Lestat777]

Hello Everyone, 

 

What do I need to file for the non o family visa for a spouse to e file it? Do I need to already have my plane ticket bought before I apply for the visa electronically? 

 

Thank you

You seem to be asking about eVisa non O (Thai wife)

Why apply for  visa without flight to Thailand.

Passport country? 

Where currently located? 

If you already have Thai bank account in your name only you could consider visa exempt entry and obtain non O marriage at local immigration.

Yes I'm referring to the Thai wife non o visa. I'm from the United States. 

 

I'm worried about the Visa being denied and would waste money on a plane ticket. If I need one before I apply I will get the plane ticket before applying. How soon before I intend to arrive in Thailand should I apply for the e-visa?

Even if that occurred then fly visa exempt and obtain the non O at immigration.

Are you planning on ongoing stay I'm Thailand?

Meaning  12 month extension

Thank you

Assuming you are intending to apply in the US the requirements are very clear on the Embassy website.  No travel tickets are mentioned.  Note that it is always possible they might ask for it later during the application, they did for me in the UK, but I did have a ticket (why would you apply for the visa if not intending to travel?)

 

Required documents to upload in the system (Large and clear JPEG or PDF format) to stay with Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days): 

1. Passport Biodata Page or Travel Document (Must be valid within 6 months from travel date)
2. Photograph of the applicant, taken within the past six months
3. Document indicating current location (driving license, bank statement, or proof of stay)
4. Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $15,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $1,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income
5. Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. valid Thai ID card or Thai Passport
6. Proof of relationship to a family in Thailand (immediate family only), e.g. A copy of marriage certificate / birth certificate / certificate of adoption

Or the op could just go to the thai embassy website and read it himself

In that case your plan of obtaining eVisa in the states is best plan.

With the non O you should be able to open a Thai bank account in your name only.

This is the very first thing you should attend to after arrival..

Maybe it is different for an Australia issued Non "O" e-visa

 

In the e-visa application I completed this week, I'm pretty sure there was a box where you had to enter your arrival flight, and also upload a copy of your ticket. I had my flight booked, but previously I always mailed my application a few weeks early to guarantee I had my passport returned in time. Work, family etc. meant I would book flights at the last moment. 

 

With a physical application, I would attach a note to my documents to explain this, never a problem, but I didn't see anywhere this time to upload additional documents/letters.  On the e-visa I was issued, the way I read it is that I can use it to enter Thailand up to ninety days from the date of issue. I received it within twenty-four hours of applying.

 

With the e-visa there could be an issue if you were to leave the section blank i.e. not being able to submit an application unless every required box is completed. Maybe you can simply type, "not booked yet" and instead of uploading a ticket, upload a letter saying why you haven't booked a ticket yet. Perhaps someone here knows if they check the flight you enter is booked in your name.  People re-book flights all the time due to changed plans, so would arriving on a different flight be a major issue?

Yes the e-visa application asks for intended arrival date and also for a flight number.  But it doesn't actually ask for a copy of the ticket.  However in my case I received a follow up e-mail asking for it, which of course wasn't a problem.
