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

« Last post by Gerry on December 29, 2023, 06:13:36 PM »

There is no 90 day reporting for LTR visa.  You must report yearly unless you have crossed the border in the year.  As of April when I got mine, they do not allow the yearly reporting at any office other than the one in BKK that issues the LTR, but they insisted they will get the local offices up and running within the next year or so.

You are the first person I know who has obtained an LTR.

Could you post the application process, please?

Maybe start a new topic.

Thanks.

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
