Trump Works at McDonald’s claims Kamala Harris 'never has

[Nisa]

I've never gone for a marriage visa before and my 30-day entry is about up and figured this might be easier than doing a visa run.

What do I need to bring to immigration to obtain a marriage visa? What are the costs?

Thanks in advance for any informed responses.

You should have at least a week remaining for conversion inside Thailand (it used to be 21 days officially) so it might be best to visit a Consulate for a single entry non immigrant O visa with marriage certificate/wife id card and home register copies. For conversion inside Thailand the cost is 2,000 baht and proof of being able to meet marriage extension of stay requirements.

Any links you have to better give me an understanding of the requirements? I've read things about needing income statements and others make no mention of it. Are there multi types of marriage visas?

Also, we live in an apartment and there is no house registration nor am I on the apartment contract as they only let one person's name on the lease. However, we were planning to put my name on one of the family house registrations. Bottom line is my name being on a house registration required or are you just saying her house registration with her name on it?

With the immigration office being so far now, I am just trying to avoid multiple trips and make sure I have everything I need on 1-visit.

I think my 30-day entry stamp expires around the 23rd. So it sounds like if I am going to do this I need to get this going asap.

To start with you can get 60 days extension based on marriage without showing anything else than marriage certificate.

From Police order 777/2551

2.24 In the case of an alien visiting a Thai spouse or child:

Permission will be granted for a period of not more than 60 days at a time.

(1) Proof of relationship.

(2) In the case of a spouse, their marital relationship shall be de jure (legitimate) and de facto.

To get one year extension you have to show funds and have a non-immigrant visa.

From Police order 777/2551

You are asking about extension of stay rather than visa (from immigration) so you need to prove marriage and have 400k in your name bank account (passbook/bank letter of account balance) or your embassy letter of 40k per month income or tax records/employment for your income/work permit if local. You will need passport and wife should have her ID card and home register (regardless of where living). If not the same address have a copy of lease. You will have to have 2,000 baht for the fee. Be sure to go with wife.

A 60 day extension of a visa exempt will not qualify him for marriage extension of stay. He must have a non immigrant visa entry.

Appreciate the detailed response.

Ok, I "think' this is starting to make sense.

Since I am currently in Thailand on a 30-day visa exempt status (I just got back less than 30-days ago), I can go to immigration and get this 60-day extension .... I assume it is the typical 1900 Baht and bring the standard stuff with me along with marriage certificate.

As for the 1-year Visa, can I get this after the 60-day extension or do I need to be on another type of visa first? I really don't understand the letter (O) terminology when referring to Visa types.

[lopburi3]

You must have a non immigrant visa entry - that is why you should try to obtain conversion rather than a 60 day extension (you will still have to obtain later or leave and obtain from a Consulate).
