A marriage visa in Thailand, Non Immigrant O (Marriage), allows any Foreigner who is legally married to a Thai National, and meets certain financial and administrative conditions, to obtain a visa to stay in Thailand legally. The marriage visa offers the holder several benefits, including permission to stay for one year with the possibility of multiple entries into the country during this period and annual renewals without the obligation to leave the country. The visa holder can also open a bank account in their own name in any Thai bank.

What You Need To Know About The Marriage Visa

The Thailand marriage visa commonly refered to as a Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa can be obtained in the Foreigner's home country but most of the time it is obtained in Thailand. The visa holder is permitted to work for a Thai Company. This is a real advantage for any Thai employer who may want to hire the foreigner as they do not have to worry about applying for a visa but only about obtaining a work permit for their future Foreign employee.

Important Reminders For Holders Of A Marriage Visa

90-day Reporting
Non O visa holders are required to notify the Immigration Office regarding their current residential address every 90 days. This can be done either by mail, by personal visit to the immigration office, or online. You may also enlist the services of our company to do this on your behalf with a Power of Attorney. If you leave Thailand during a 90-day period you will not have to report your status and your 90 day count will start again from day 1, from the day you re-enter the country.

Re-entry Permit
If you plan to travel in and out of Thailand during the year of your visa validity, you will need a multiple re-entry permit. This will insure that your visa does not get cancelled. In case you find the need to leave the country for whatever reason, you can apply for a re-entry permit at the international airport before leaving the country. Or you can simply contact us and we can get you a re-entry permit in 1 day.

Divorce
Divorce terminates the validity of the Non Immigrant O Marriage Visa, and the visa holder is obliged to leave Thailand immediately after the divorce. In some cases, the visa holder may be allowed to stay in Thailand until the Marriage Visa expires. This is subject to acceptance by the Thai immigration officer who handles your case.
