Congratulations on your marriage! Now that you’ve tied the knot with your Thai partner, it’s time to apply for a Thai Marriage Visa. This long-stay visa allows you to live with your spouse in Thailand and paves the way for potential permanent residency.

Benefits of a Thai Marriage Visa:

• Extended Stay: You get a 1-year stay, renewable annually.
• Ease of Travel: No need for a re-entry permit when traveling in and out of Thailand.
• Work Opportunities: You can apply for a work permit and work for a Thai company, simplifying your job search.

Requirements for a Thai Marriage Visa:

• Marriage to a Thai National: You must be legally married to a Thai citizen.
• Marriage Documentation: Provide a Marriage Certificate (Kor Ror 3) or Marriage Registration (Kor Ror 2). If married abroad, you’ll need a Kor Ror 22 (Registration of Family Status).
• Proof of Residency: Show proof of your or your spouse’s address in Thailand.
• Financial Requirements: Maintain a deposit of at least 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account for 2 months or have a monthly income of 40,000 THB. Provide an updated bankbook, a bank letter, or an income affidavit from your embassy.
• Supplementary Documentation: Some countries require an Affirmation of Freedom to Marry document and translated documents verified by a consulate notary or embassy.

Application Process:

1. Obtain a 90-Day Non-Immigrant Visa: Apply at the nearest Royal Thai Consulate or Embassy.
2. Gather Required Documents: Collect all necessary paperwork to convert your 90-day visa to a 1-year marriage visa.
3. Submit Application: When 30 days remain on your non-immigrant visa, submit all documents and a visa extension request to the Thai Immigration Bureau.

Conditions to Fulfill:

• 90-Day Reporting: Report your current residence to Thai immigration every 90 days.
• Re-Entry Permit: Obtain a single-entry or multiple-entry permit before leaving Thailand.
• Funds Maintenance: Have at least 3 months’ worth of funds in your account before renewing the visa.
• Post-Divorce Visa Status: If divorced, you must forfeit the visa and leave Thailand, although some exceptions allow you to stay until the visa expires.
