Mario2008 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can get an extension of stay based upon marriage and get a work permit on that without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Cohen Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 So you cant have o and b visa at the same time? You need to choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can't have or need both. You apply for an extension of stay based upon marriage instead of one based upon working. If your job ends your extension does not go away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Cohen Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Ok thanks. My friend who's on a B visa is changing to O and telling me I should do the same for security purpose ( Im married have a child and a 30year mortgage so I want to stay in thailand) Ubon joe and Mario would you advice me to do the same? Or go for permanent residency directly? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you're legally married to a Thai you can skip Permanent Residency and apply for citizenship. Some of the same requirements, but the cost is a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It would be best to apply for an extension of stay based upon marriage (it is not a non-o visa) the next time your extension is due renewal. Permanent residency or citizenship takes years to get approval. So be best change to the extension based upon marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Extension of stay based on marriage. If you have a work permit and have been working for enough years you can try for permanent residency, the start date for applications is usually in December.

Maestro Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 In both cases, whether your application for extension of stay is to live with your Thai wife or for employment, you can apply for and receive an extension for one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
