Brigante7 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 New to Thaivisa so I apologise in advance if this has been asked and answered before, but what is the difference between a Type O visa and a Type O - marriage visa? Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante7 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Just spoke to The Thai Consulate in Hull, very helpful, it seems I can get a 1 year Type o - Marriage visa very easy then do the visa run every 90 days then 2 days before the end of the visa do another run to give me another 90 days then post my pasport back to the UK to a family or friend who will then post it to the Thai Consulate in Hull and get another 1 year visa then get it posted back to Thailand via DHL or similar, although I'm sure somebody somewhere has already posted this, if not I hope this helps.

Brigante7 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Are all foreigners required to carry there passports at all times in Thailand? That could be a problem, I'll have to contact the Thai consulate to confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 It is illegal to post your passport out of the country for a visa. //moved to visas section// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not only are you required to have your passport any visa to Thailand issued by a Consulate while passport indicates you are in Thailand would not be valid or accepted by Immigration.

tijnebijn Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 It is illegal to post your passport out of the country for a visa. //moved to visas section// Thats right . It is very wrong to give illegal information to the Op . If it was like that , I assume everybody would love not having to run to their homecountries or third country anymore. Its bending the rules .

Crossy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 then post my pasport back to the UK to a family or friend who will then post it to the Thai Consulate in Hull and get another 1 year visa then get it posted back to Thailand via DHL or similar, As others have noted, do not do this under any circumstances. You may get away with it if you have two passports but you'd still have to do an air border run to swap PPs (can't swap at land crossings). At least one poster had his visa (obtained in this way) spotted by immigration officials and cancelled, money wasted. If you are entitled to a visa on the grounds of marriage there are several 'local' consulates where you can get a new one, or (assuming you can demonstrate an income of 40,000 Baht per month) you can extend in-country.

Big A Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Taken directly from RTC Hull's website..... 'APPLICANT CANNOT BE IN THAILAND AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION' I'd try Penang, KL or Singapore (or even visa friendly Perth or Brisbane) first before posting it to Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
