ubonjoe Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 You could enter and get a 30 day visa exempt entry. Then extend it for 30 days at immigration for a fee of 1900 baht. After that perhaps fly out and back to get a new 30 day entry. A border crossing will only give you 15 days. You may be asked to show a ticket out within 30 days of entry to board your flight to here since you will not have a visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 arrive at BKK airport, you get 30 days on arrival, when your 30 days is up, go to Penang or Vientenne Thai Consulate and get a 60 day tourist visa to re-enter Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtycash Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 when i arrive at check in ( dublin ) i will have a ticket from 29 dec untill 26th march ........will airline refuse me to board since i will not have a double entry or non ( o ) visa ? if so, i could tell airline that i either plan to re enter thailand on border crossing or fly out to another country and back in again. or i could tell them i will be changing ticket to come back within 30 days. do you think there could be problems here ? i really do not want to buy ticket for £7-800 only to be refused to board at checkin. whats your thoughts guys . maybe i should wait untill consulate in dublin opens in new year and get non ( o ) but then processing times can be long i imagine plus i really need to get away. thanks DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 You could buy a one way ticket to a nearby country on a low cost carrier ( airasia.com) within 30 days to show. You can find them so cheap that you could toss it and not loose a lot. If you are married to a Thai or have a Thai child you can get a 60 day extension to visit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hotel booking in a nearby country will suffice but you need to print it out and show a paper copy. You may also want to consider all the border runs etc compared to getting a visa before departure. I have not been in to the Dublin consulate lately but Birmingham will process your non O marriage visa while you wait assuming you have all the correct documentation. This advice is based on my experience there a few weeks ago. I spoke to them again this morning and they seem to think other consulates can issue Non. O marriage visas to an applicant in person while they wait. Mine took 7 minutes. The cannot accept postal applications. However the website still says they cannot issue non O! Phone number is 44 (0) 121 643 9481 If you want to stay for 15 months then the Non O visa is your best bet.

Jay Sata Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) try to board nice and early, if they refuse boarding book a cheap ticket online, whilst at the airportI presume you mean check in early. That is where the problem will occur not at the gate.Dirtycash....why contemplating a one way ticket. More expensive than a return when you consider what tickets to Europe cost in Thailand.

Strangebrew Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 You could book hotel through agoda and for onward ticket try tiger airways very cheap on flights and can change flight date online . as far as place to stay while here can get a place on a monthly bases for 3500 baht a month at Nasa Vegas apartments next door to airport link line and hotel of same name.

Jay Sata Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 As you are in Belfast ,Birmingham is a good option for getting your 1 year multi entry marriage Non O visa. Easy jet do a morning flight that leaves Belfast at 7.10 arriving Birmingham 8.10. Only £22.00 one way. You could then get the bus in to the city centre and have plenty of time left for arriving at consulate before 11.00am. That way you get the visa while you wait.

I think you need to go back and read the OP's post where he said his flight was from Dublin.No where in the topic did he indicate he was in Northern Ireland.

So I was wrong because I did not go back through all your previous posts. There is no age restriction or requirement to get a non-o visa or extension of stay based upon marriage to a Thai. If you travel here without getting a multiple entry non-o visa you could get one in Savannakhet Laos on the same day you apply with no financial proof needed.

ubonjoe Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It seems from another topic you did that you have delayed your trip so you could get the multiple entry non-o in Dublin. The post I made before you changed your mind and was asking about not getting a visa before you left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtycash Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just an update. I drove down to thai consulate in dublin yesterday was surprised to see it was just a very small office. Anyway passport was stamped there snd then . In and out in 5 minutes no questions asked. I could of got the visa based on marriage but the copy of my wifes passport i had with me was of her old out of date passport . Anyway its all easy enough done.
