Popular Post ParadiseLost Posted November 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Obvious troll post as the marriage extension is well - very well covered on this site. One thing I will say is that it is easy to run into a whole lot of new problems - a (Thai) woman can be a really nasty, jealous creature and will cut your offending parts off with a lovely smile on her sweet innocent face. Better to be more serious about marriage than considering visa options... Edited November 18, 2015 by ParadiseLost 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 marriage visa half the required income or savings of 800k Again wrong info.

Oh yeah silly me gosh it's hard to know it all but know nothing. You are referring to extension of stay based on marriage when you are talking about required income or savings. You can get a non-O visa based on marriage from a consulate abroad without showing money. Two different things, non of them is called marriage visa in legal terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseLost Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 There is a non immigrant type o, single entry (3 month) and multiple entry (12 months) visa. A married person is able to apply for this visa but it is not called a marriage visa by immigration for good reason - the visa is also available to dependents, amongst others. Likewise the retirement visa, which is the type o-a As I type this I see more replies being added so most likely this is redundant but I typed it so you are going to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseLost Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) For the rude belligerent posters who seem to grasp at the first source that suits their needs: A visa is issued outside a country and allows a person to present himself at the issuing country's border - that is all. Upon arrival in Thailand the IO will use the visa to determine your eligibility to enter - ie does he believe your story. If he is satisfied then he has the power to decide how long a stay is permitted, and stamps your Permission to stay into your passport. Once your permission to stay expires you must either leave the country, or apply for an Extension of stay by proving relationship or age and pension arrangements. As part of the extension process you have to provide evidence of funds, or (Thai) employment. It has been reported that the single entry non-o has no income or funds requirements whereas the multi usually does (Penang).

Confusing, what does this have to do with marriage? You can get a non-imm O based on marriage to a Thai, that can lead to an annual extension of stay based on marriage if you meet the stated financial requirements or you can get a 60 day extension of stay to visit your Thai wife. There is no marriage visa as such, but you can get a non-imm O based on being married and then an extension of stay (not a visa) based on marriage. Visas are available at embassies or consulate outside Thailand. Extension can be had from immigrations offices in Thailand.

If you get married you can apply for a non immigrant visa based on that marriage and get extensions of stay to visit your wife. If you don't you can't! So the benefit of being married is that you can apply for the visa. Edited November 18, 2015 by elviajero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackThompson Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You are not just marrying her - you are marrying an extended family. Please live with your GF for a few years first, providing an opportunity for both of you to get at least a minimal grasp on the cultural differences involved. I absolutely adore my GF, and she me, but no plans to marry, to spite years together. We get along great - why spoil it? If/when I have another long-term visa option (over 50), that would increase the likelihood of us getting married - not the other way around.
