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.
MARRIAGE VISA PATTAYA / NON O VISA PATTAYA
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.
You must be able to verify that you hold for Marriage visa :
