Thread: Marriage. Non Immigrant O Visa

I did understand Can was trying to register an existing marriage in Thailand. I was just throwing out another possible option to achieve the same end result. It is up to Can what he does, I am out.

Okay, now you guys have gone and done it !! You've piqued my interest.

I will make the oh-so long sojourn to the Bang Rak Amphur office on Monday. They hands down do the most thai/thai and foreigner/thai marriage registrations in the country. That's due to the name being "district of love". A few years ago it was even open 24 hours on Valentine's Day!!

I'm pretty sure I can wring the actual answer "can123" is looking for out of a "gimlet eyed bint" manning the desks. Who knows, one of the "bug chewing drones" might even have a form outlining it (or not)...

Please note: both gimlet eyed bint & bug chewing drones were coined by "taxexile" not myself. Whilst I understood the second term, I had to google gimlet eyed bint to understand the reference.

I wish I was gimlet eyed after reading this thread. Where's the Rose's Lime Juice?

I am very grateful to you for confirming that I am not a lunatic. The theory of immigration visas bears very little resmblance to its practicalities.

Hmm, if I were you, I'd hold off on deciding whether you're a lunatic or not for the time being.

You seem to have a tough time realizing the b/s and often plain wrong info on Thai Embassy websites has nothing at all to do with what's required inside the country at your local Thai Immigration office.

Wait, I remember you; aren't you the guy who lived in pattaya and regaled us with the simulating conversations you had with the Soi side fruit seller?

Hang about, were you the guy who was gonna have his grown children come visit and decided to park them in the Nana Hotel (because of the ambiance)?

I think I saw you at Villa Market the other day in the bread aisle. You were standing under a sign that said "thick cut".

I'm kinda lost now. Can someone break it down as to where we are currently?

Todd, your advice hasn't been quite as accurate as you may think it has been. If you cannot offer advice without seeking to take the piss and being a smartarse, please keep it to yourself. No offence intended, now piss off.

Honestly, you really, really are not cut out for this place.

Have you not thought of Anglesey as a suitable, more appropriate, rural bolthole in order to rot away whilst you wait for that thread to be cut? The locals there are all in-bred retards who jabber away in their incomprehensible tongues and conduct themselves according to arcane, incoherent practices, so you won't be missing out on the authentic Isaan experience, will you?

Sure, it rains a lot but then you won't have to put up with the sweltering heat, high humidity and bug-infested miasma that will envelop you daily in Nakhon Nowhere, so that's a compensation, is it not?

Do not come here!

Now, now can123, you need to have thicker skin than that to live here in and amongst the thais.

Granted I took a couple shots at you, but I do the best I can relating information I come across.

In perusing your posting history, you're not exactly a fount of wisdom, knowledge and accurate information concerning all things thai either.

Anecdotally, I found out YES! It is totally possible to register the marriage of a thai who got married abroad to a foreigner (or even a thai for that matter) at an Amphur (BUT you don't get those suitable for framing Kor Ror 2's and 3"s).

Idiot.

Having come back last month with a Non Immigrant O multiple entry visa based on marriage to a Thai, I currently am good until next August. In actuality, I will obtain a 90 day stamp just prior to my visa expiration which gives me until next November. At that time I will attemp, for the first time, to obtain an extension depending on how many hoops I have to jump through at the Udon immigration office. If it becomes too silly, I will just fly back to the US where it has been relatively easy to obtain a married visa with minimal paperwork and headache.

As long as one tries to obtain visas for Thailand within SE Asia, you will be dealing with a moving target and idiots who make up the rules as they go along. I have the money in a Thai bank to apply for a retirement visa as well, but hate to think of the BS involved with acquiring one in country.

My advice is to obtain any visas outside of Thailand where the mentality of those working in the consulates or embassies is a little more forgiving.
