MARRIAGE VISA PATTAYA

MARRIAGE VISA PATTAYA / NON O VISA PATTAYA

Obtaining a marriage visa in Pattaya, Thailand, typically involves a process that allows foreigners to stay in the country for an extended period based on their marriage to a Thai national. Keep in mind that immigration rules and requirements may change, so it’s essential to check with the Thai immigration authorities or the nearest Thai embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022

If you’re legally married to a Thai citizen you can apply for a one-year Non-immigrant visa “O” (based on marriage), often wrongly referred to as “marriage visa” (while it is actually an “extension of stay based on marriage”). To qualify for this type of visa, your marriage needs to be officially registered in Thailand a mere ceremonial marriage at a temple or a “common law” marriage is not recognized by the Thai government or family courts.

The first is to apply for a Non-Immigrant O Visa (marriage visa) prior to arrival in Thailand, which will allow you to stay for 90 days. The second approach is to enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa* and then change your status. Subject to meeting certain criteria, there is a procedure by which you can then extend your stay in 12 monthly increments on the basis of your marriage.

Asset and income requirements also apply, and these are simply to ensure that you can adequately support yourself and your spouse, and will not become a drain on the Thai community.

Renew Marriage Visa / NON O Visa

MARRIAGE VISA PATTAYA / NON O VISA PATTAYA

When you first apply for a Thai marriage visa, you will receive a 90-day visa for traveling to Thailand. After this period, you have to contact the Thailand Immigration Department for a Thailand marriage visa extension that lasts one year. You can extend your marriage visa every year as long as you are married to a Thai national.

Therefore, if you want to continue to live with your spouse in Thailand, you have to renew your stay permit every year. Extending your stay requires a Thailand marriage visa renewal. For it, you have to register your application at the Bureau of Immigration before your actual marriage visa expires.

After you have lived in Thailand for three years with a Thai marriage visa, you will be eligible to apply for a Thai Permanent Residency. Meanwhile, you are allowed to live and work in Thailand. Indeed, a Thailand marriage visa does not offer permission to work. However, the holder is allowed to apply for a work permit at the Thailand Ministry of Labour.
