MARRIAGE VISA IN THAILAND

Marriage visa in Thailand

NON-IMMIGRANT VISA Category “O” (Thai wife or Thai husband)

A foreign national who marries a Thai national and plans to live in Thailand or travel to Thailand frequently after the marriage is eligible for the Non-Immigrant O Visa, also known as a Thai marriage visa. This visa can be applied for in Thailand or while overseas at a Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate. When applied for within Thailand it is officially known as a Non-Immigrant O Visa.

See Thai marriage visa requirements for your nationality here.

A Thai marriage visa will allow you to stay in Thailand for a period of up to 1 year (12 months) and can be renewed annually. There are no limitations on the number of times you can renew a Thai marriage visa, as long as you continue meeting all the visa requirements. This visa can be applied for as a single or multiple entry visa.

If you were married overseas to a Thai person, your marriage certificate needs to be translated to Thai language and certified at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to submit it to the local Thai district where you live. Then you can apply for the marriage visa in Thailand.

Important: Foreign citizens who hold visa-on-arrival (“ผ30”) for more than 30 days or a Tourist Visa (“TR”) for 60 days, need to apply for a change of type of visa (from Tourist Visa to Non-Immigrant O Visa). The granting of change of type of visa and extension of stay is at the discretion of the immigration officer.
