Non-O Visa Single Entry , Multiply Entry, Confuse !

[Cuddlycat]

Dear all,

My husband (American Citizen) wants to go to Thailand this year in November. He will be 50 at the beginning of April next year. He considers about apply Non-o which I assume after I search an information that the single entry would be USD65 and multiply entry will be USD175. But somehow my husband told me that the multiply entry is for longstay (retirement visa) he will not capable for that which is very confuse.

I wonder if I was right that he can apply multiply visa even he is not 50? As he will apply for retirement visa next year.

Thanks,

Cat

Are you Thai? If not he would not be likely to obtain any kind of non immigrant O visa. If married to a Thai he should not have any problem getting a single entry and some may provide a multi entry (it can be issued to those married). He would need marriage proof.

If he will stay in Thailand on retirement after reaching age 50 he will need a non immigrant visa entry to do so but that can be obtained locally or even inside Thailand if meeting extension of stay requirements.

Thanks for your quick respond. Yes, I am Thai citizen. I read from some website that he needs to have a letter from me varifying that we still married with the purpose of visit Thailand. Is that correct?

It may not be required in US but general requirement is copy of marriage certificate and wife ID card or passport and best to also have short/dated note from wife asking for visa to be issued to help prove current relationship.

Thanks again. I've got the information from www.thai-la.net about the documentation. I assume that with one year multiply entry, he has no need to leave the Kingdom every 90days but need to report every 90 days at the Immigration office.

Please kindly correct me.

You are hereby corrected. He has to leave the country every 90 days, unless he applies for an extension of stay.

It is not clear to me. Even my husband applies for an extension of stay, does he has to leave Thailand every 90days for a visa run?

[Mario2008]

If he gets an extension of stay he doesn't have to leave the country and now must do 90 day reports.

[Lite Beer]

Multi Non Imm O Visa means a border run every 90 days.

A 12 month extension of stay means no border runs but a report to Immigration every 90 days.

[lopburi3]

An extension of stay means financial qualification of 400k in his Thai bank account 2 months or 40k monthly income to obtain from Immigration (with you and a fair amount of paperwork) and needs to be done each year and if no exit address must be report every 90 days.

Do anyone know, can I chage a multiple non o visa into an OAvisa, I married wit h thai wife.

Thank you

A non immigrant O-A visa is issued in home country to enter Thailand for Retirement. As you sure that is what you want?

Or are you asking how to extend inside Thailand for one year for retirement? That you do with proof of age 50 and 800k in bank account 2 months or 65k per month income or combination to equal 800k per year.
