Advice/visa Extension

[stretch163]

Hi all just trying to find out what my best approach is to get an extension on my Non im O (multiple entry visa). Or am i best just renewing Non im O.

Details already married to Thai wife but due to nature of my work she is staying in thailand. I visit as often as i can and intend to move there to live in 2 years. Only be 40 so retirement visa is out but needless to say i dont plan on doing any work.

Will be appllying for visa for her on my next trip just trying to sort out paperwork especially with new forms coming out end of the month.

Will it be a problem applying for just a visitor visa rather than a settlement visa because we already married or wont this make any difference ?

Wife will only be coming to visit when im in the UK and Staying with me at parents house. So dont need settlement visa.

Can i get extension because of marriage if so how would i go about this ?

Or should i just keep going with the Non Im O and wait till i finally move out to thailand ?

All help greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks Ian

There is another forum to deal with non Thai visas and you should make your UK visa requests for information there for best response. For extension of stay in Thailand you will require proof of 40k per month family income. If you are returning to the UK often and can thus obtain multi entry non immigrant O visas they are probably your best choice currently (for extension you have to be here for at least a 30 day under review period).
