Thai Marrage visa

Thailand has long been a destination that tempts those of retirement age to make it their permanent home.

What is a Thai Marriage Visa?

A Thai marriage visa is an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national. In order to obtain a marriage visa, first you need a Non O visa obtained outside Thailand. In some cases you can enter Thailand on a tourist visa and change this to a Non O visa within Thailand if you have at least 21 days left on your permission to stay but this depends on your individual circumstances. 

You must be legally married meaning that you have registered your marriage at a Thai amphur and not just had a village ceremony. If you were married abroad then you may need to get your marriage certificate validated by the correct governing body in the country it was issued in. If this is the case then you should get the certificate validated before travelling to Thailand. You may also be required to have it translated into Thai and stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand.

  • Your passport and copies
