Visa advice

[Payanak212]

Hello all, looking for some advice on visa options for my situation.

 

I am married to a Thai and visit Thailand every other month or so and used to live in Thailand for a few years. I normally just use a 30 or 60 days stamp and stay a few weeks at a time.

 

i wondering what my options are for getting a long term visa of one sort or another. My main reason would be to allow my to set up bank accounts and renew driving licenses etc. I am also unsure how me staying only a few weeks at a time and not 90 days might prevent me from getting a TM30, residence certificate etc. 

 

thanks

You should have a Non O marriage and subsequent extensions. 

You will need a multiple reentry permit. 

The issue would be the under consideration period if you are month on/off.

Roster workers have similar problem. 

Are you over 50

Thanks, I’m not over 50 so can’t get a retirement visa. 
 

what does under consideration period mean and does that prevent me from getting a TM 30 and residence letter?

If you have a Non O based on marriage then every 12 months you obtain an extension. 

Immigration send your papers to head office for approval. 

That process takes often approx one month. 

Your travel habits may find that difficult. 

You also may have home visit.
