90 day visa to visit the wife

[karl4110]

Hay guys

I need to pick your brains!

I went back to the uk in November after visiting the wife for 90 days

I have just come back to Thailand on the 9th of February on a 30 day tourists visa as I was not able to get an appointment at the Liverpool office in the uk I was going to do a 60 tourist visa then I was going go and do a visa to visit the wife for 90 days at her home town.

The question I have is as I only have a 30 day tourist visa can I extend the visa for a further 30 days at Suratthani

And then do a 90 day visa to visit the wife?

Or can I only get a 90 visa to visit the wife ? Sorry I cannot remember the technical name for the visa to visit the wife!

Please excuse my ignorance!

What other options do I have I don't have 400,000 baht for the non o marriage visa!

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks for your replies.

You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife or you can obtain a single entry 90 day "O" visa in Loas.

If you wish to stay longer a one year multiple entry "O" visa can be obtained without financial evidence from the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, Laos

Cheers for that

Would I be able to do a 60 day extension here and then did a 90 day at Lao ?

Yes you can get 60 days at immigration, You need to have your wife with you as well as all the paper work

Thanks guys

I know I can do a 60 extension here with the Mrs

But can I then go to Lao and do a 90 day visa would I need to take the Mrs with me to Lao ?

You wife would not have to be with you to apply for a single entry non-o visa. You will need your marriage certificate and copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card signed and dated by her. You could also get the single entry non-o in Penang Malaysia.

If you plan on returning again with a year after this trip it might be worthwhile to get a multiple entry non-o visa in Savannakhet. The visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue. The visa costs 5000 baht verses 2000 baht for a single entry visa.

Thanks guys !!!

That's all good news

So dose that mean I can do a 60 day extension here and then go to Lao for non o visa?

Or do I have to go to Lao before my current 30 touris visa expires?? It's a dumb question I know !!

You can get the 60 day extension and then go for the visa.
