Living The "forever" Of Marriage In Thailand

Transnational marriages are common in Thailand

. One has to get used to seeing a Thai woman with her foreign husband, walking hand in hand along the streets of Bangkok. It has become an ordinary view; which the culture accepts, which the law permits.

If you are a foreigner who has a Thai wife, it is definitely possible and easy for you to stay in the Land of Smiles with your spouse. Together, you can serve the purpose of marriage that are co-existence and pro-creation, and start a family in an environment as beautiful as Thailand

.

But as said, it is a must that the law allows you to enter the kingdom, and stay there. Thus, it is required that you obtain a Marriage Visa from the Royal Thai Embassy.

What is a Marriage Visa?

A marriage visa is a Non-Immigration Category O visa, which allows you to enter Thailand to be with your Thai spouse. It permits you to stay in the country for ninety (90) days only. Due to this a succeeding application for visa conversion to Non-Immigration Category O-A (one-year validity) must be filed.

Requirements

The most essential requirement is of course, being married to a Thai national, proven true by an authentic marriage certificate.

It is also a must that you are financially capable to sustain your stay in Thailand. You and your wife must have at least 40,000 THBof total monthly income, or a savings deposit of at least 400,000 THB. The money should be deposited two (2) months before the Thai marriage visa application.

Police clearance and medical certificates are no longer required if the application took place in Thailand. Otherwise, provide the said documents.

Process

Applying for a Marriage Visa is easy. The process starts when you complete all the requirements and submit it to the Royal Thai Embassy in Thailand or in your home country.

If approved, you can now fly to Thailand and be with your spouse. However, upon entering the Land of Smiles, you have to convert your visa into a Non-OM visa so you could legally stay in the country for a year. Apply for it in the Thai embassy in Bangkok or in any Thai consulates around the kingdom.

Two things to never forget is that one, you have to renew the visa before it expires and, two, you cannot exit Thailand and re-enter without due permit. Failure to do so will invalidate the marriage visa.

It could be simple but one mistake could ruin everything. Thus, it is advised that you dont do it on your own. Legal assistance is available. There are lots of competent and experienced lawyers in Thailand and they could help you with your application.
