Isaan Thai Visa / Re: Non Immigrant O Extension Based on Marriage

« Last post by Gerry on December 08, 2023, 09:27:22 AM »

thanks Gerry, it slowly starts to become clearer and clearer. It seems that the conversion process from a Non-Immigrant Visa "O" to a marriage visa is relatively straight forward.
There must be a well worn path leading to the IO...hi

Here's how I did it and the terminology seems to be.

I got a Non O visa based on being married from a Thai consulate. I entered Thailand and got 90 days stay. In the last 30 days I then went to Buriram immigration and got a 1 year extension. I've never heard it called convertion. It's the same Non O but the permission to stay is extended to 1 year.

Lots of documents required plus 400k baht in the bank for 2 months before I went to immigration. Then you must go back to immigration after about 1 month to get the stamp in your passport.

thanks for the reply, I do understand that I need an O visa to start, it then can be converted into a one year marriage visa which requires 90 day reporting, alternatively, the non O visa can be extended every 90 days.
So is there a benefit in the conversion to marrigae visa?

You seem confused.

A Non O can be extended for two reasons. Retirement or marriage. You can't just extend a Non O as you said. You need a reason and documents and money in the bank.

Are you thinking of a non O you get where you leave the country every 90 days?

There was a long thread about this on Asean Now last week.

question, and apologies if this has been asked before, what is the benefit of having a thai marriage visa compared to the normal non immigrant category O
Both require 90 day reporting

Are you talking about tge difference between marriage and retirement? Both need an O visa to start.

All permissions to stay in Thailand whether a marriage or retirement extension require 90 day reporting

The only exception, as far as I am aware, is PERMANENT RESIDENCY

Some years ago I had to get documents translated English to Thai. The small shop situated over the road from the Police Station. Take the Thai Girlfriend/Wife to help explain (if needed)
