I suspect you are from Iran and hold that passport? There is no way you can work on a tourist visa and use that to meet income requirements for extension of stay. But the 40k amount is for extensions of stay - not for visa. Normally once married you are allowed to obtain non immigrant O visa and at some location multi entry type which allows stays of 90 days but you have to leave/return every 90 days. But I do not know the availability for Iranian passport holders in local Consulates. Hopefully someone with experience can add to this (and let us know if your Nationality is not Iranian).

yes dear lopburi3,thank's 4 ur attention

i have another question.

1-if first i get visa,after that can i open shop with my 400k when i have only marriage visa(not extended)

2-after finished 90 days & i should go outside thailand,after how many days i can get visa again & i can come back?

[lopburi3]

1. You can not open a shop or work without obtaining a work permit - that is dependent on work that a Thai can not do in most cases.

2. If you have a multi entry visa you enter other country and immediately return - if you have to obtain a new visa each time there would be at least one night stay involved.

thank u 4 ur attention

can i go 2 work in some company with marriage visa (my mind is first visa & not extended)?

can i open a shop 4 my wife & i have work in this shop with my wife?

will be accept incomes of this shop 4 get non imm "o" visa & extend of this?

[lopburi3]

A work permit can be issued on such a visa - but you need a job that allows it.

You would have to have a work permit to work in shop - even if you paid for the shop. That will require you fill a position most Thai would not qualify for.

If run by wife her income could be used - if you want to use your income the work permit will be vital.

if i should first get work permit,what have any benefit get marriage visa?

until i dont get work permit,i cant have income & i cant get non imm "o" visa, then u think why should i get marriage visa?

AGAIN THANKS 4 UR ATTENTION

[Mario2008]

With a workpermit you are allowed to work and with the visa you are allowed to stay in the country.

The benefit of a visa based on marriage is that you need to show less income than on most other types of visa, only 40,000 baht for you and your wife together.

thanks dear mario

i have another question

how can i get work permit?

how many ways are there for get work permit?

what do i need for get work permit if i want open a shop for myself?

if i want get multi entry visa based on marry,do i need 40k monthly incom?

how can i get multi entry visa?

what should i do for extend of that visa?

THANKS ALOT ( PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF IM VERY TALKATIVE)

[Mario2008]

On a multi entry you don't need to show any income. It just allows you to enter the country for a maximum of 90 day, before you have to leave the country. After that you can come right back again for another 90 days. It is valid for one year. By leaving and retunring just before the end of this year you can get another 90 days and so extend your visa to almost 15 months. After 15 months you will have to go to a Thai consulate or embassy abroad and apply again for this visa.

A work permit can only be issued by the labour office. There is no way around that and in some jobs you are not allowed to work. Also there is a mimimum requirement of salary for many jobs, depending on your nationality.

About opening a shop I' don't know much how to go about that. But have a look at the following link: http://www.boi.go.th/english/download/busi...stment-laws.pdf

It also gives a list of businesses and jobs you are not allowed to perform.

THANK U

if i get multi entry visa & after that i can show 40k monthly incom, can i change my visa to typical(classic)non imm " o" visa?

if i get multi entry visa,after 90 days i should leave thailand. when i want return again i should show many proof & documents again or not?

when i want return,should i get permit entry to country in thailand or abroad?

when i leave thailand,after how long i can return again for another 90 days?

THANKS SO MUCH

[Mario2008]

Yes, if you later can show a family income of 40,000 you can change your visa to a "regular non-O, wich you can extend every year.

On multiple entry you can come and go to thailand as much as you want, as long as you don't stay longer than 90 days. After leaving you can come right back in the same day and only need to show your passport, no other documents. This visa is valid for one year. By just going and coming to Thailand before the year is finished you can extend this visa to almost 15 months.

After that you can no longer use this visa as it is expired. So after 15 months you have to leave Thailand and go to a Thai embassy and apply again for a non-O multiple visa. For this you need to show the required documents again.

[pomraksao]

I think you need to mention your nationality. Once you do that we can be specific with the applicable days for visas and extensions

thank dear MARIO very................ much

my nationality is iranian, is it important for get visa or applicable days for my visa?

if i want get multi entry visa again after 15 month, can i get it from thai embassy in iran? if NO, which country's consolate or embassy of thailand will give me visa again?

[bratpack]

You guys on here are very patient.Do you think this post is real????

[kennkate]

You have been told and you are not understanding the situation.

With your O Visa that you can obtain from the Thai consul or Embassy in your own Country, and valid for 1 Year from the date of Issue so dont get it until you are ready to leave for Thailand OK.

Now you get to Thailand you will obtain a stamp on arrival for 90 Days. Before or on the day it expires Not not later you have to leave Thailand for 5 Mins or as long as it takes for you to obtain a stamp and pay the Fee to the Country you wish to go to

and that woul depend on were you are in Thailand at the time. I take it that you would want to go to the nearest border. If you are in Chang Mia then that would be Mae Sai (Myanmar)

However if you are married to a Thai and you have 21 days left on your current 90 days before you have to do the border run you can obtain A spouse Visa, This does not mean you can stay and relax you must still report to the LOCAL Thai imigration office every 90 days with your proof of income that would be JOINT income 40k as regards you setting up in business, sorry but its not going to be easy and could take some time for you to establish iincome from it.

I do hope you understand its not easy in the LOS but many people live here and have to do same same

best of luck to you and for your marraige

[Mohammad]

thanks 4 ur attention

when my 90 days finished & i should leave thailand, should i get visa for another country that i wish travel for obtain stamp?

if i want be employee & i have employer in thailand,i should have work only in jobs that arenot prohibited for foreign's investement or not?

THANKS AGAIN

[Mario2008]

When you exit the country after 90 days you might have to buy a visa from the country you are traveling to. Not sure what then visa requirements are for a Iranian. Depends on the country you are traveling to. Better to check this good.

Regarding your work it will be jobs that are in the list at the end of the link I gave you; like tour guide, lawyer etc. That is slightly different from the list of investments foreigners aren't allowed to do.

For most job, as asian you should have a minimum income of 35,000.

[egg6447]

to mohamad via lopburi. how about his wife works the markets plus the shop. she pays tax on a figure of over 40kbt. as discussed before. hopefully job done. maybe lopburi can explain it better than me.

[lopburi3]

As said family income of 40k per month is the requirement for extension of stay so if wife pays tax on that amount each month an extension of stay would be possiable - but that does not allow OP to work.

if my wife have work in shop & market together & pay tax that this tax can show we have 40000 BAHT monthly income,can i get & extend "o" visa?

[lopburi3]

Yes. But believe initial requirement will be a six month record (can be back payment).

[Mohammad]

and last question

for get multi entry visa,i should have life in special city or location in thailand or not?

[kennkate]

You can live were you wont. But you have to do the Border run on your 90 day o visa

so it is better to be closer to a border crossing that can stamp you out and back in again.

But its up to you, also if you convert this to a spouse Visa you will have to go to the nearest Thai Imigration Office every 90 days, so take that into consideration.

[lopburi3]

There is no spouse visa but believe you are talking about extension of stay for one year. This only requires you visit Immigration each year for application and about one month later for stamp. If you do not travel you must make address reports every 90 days but that can be done by mail or someone else can do for you.

A small statement only,if I may,and please don't take offense,none intended.

I know the stakes,my wife is Thai too,read the link about the jobs that you can do in Thailand,think that your wife can open a shop and earn the requested 40000 Baht a month,as required,but you cannot help her in the shop.If you do,it may bring many troublesome encounter with the BiB.

Thailand doesn't need(want)foreigners coming and living in theyr Country;they accept us only if they believe to have something to gain letting us settle here!

Marriage to a Thai is in no way a right to live in LoS(for women a little easier).

Try to speak with your partner about the problems before you commit yourself.Good luck,Mohammad

[Mohammad]

[astral]

To be honest I am not sure you will find a legal job in Thailand.

For someone to employ you, they must be able to show that there is

no suitable Thai person available. To meet this requirement you will generally

need a University degree and a good level of experience in the job.

I have to agree with Abdulrahman,

Marriage to a Thai is in no way a right to live in LoS.

Try to speak with your partner about the problems before you commit yourself.

Good luck, Mohammad
