Why do Non Immigrant O type visas seem to be more difficult to obtain at overseas consulates?
More difficult is not the correct words in my opinion. The Thai Consulates overseas in most countries have just enforced the original laws and procedures making it seem more difficult. The Non Immigrant O Type visa was previously issued to applicants that are married...

I have a multiple entry non-immigrant O visa – Do i just need to report every 90 days?
This is one of the most common questions I am asked. A non-immigrant multiple entry visa issued by a Thai consulate outside of Thailand means that for the duration of the one year visa you must cross a border every 90 days. The most common way is to go on a Cambodian...
My child has been given a 1 year ED visa, but mine is about to expire. Is there anything I can do to stay?

I have just returned from the Immigration office, I was applying for a married to a Thai national visa, they said because I married my Thai wife in Canada I had to get the marriage certificate notarized at my Embassy and then take it to the ministry of foreign affairs in Bangkok to be certified, is his correct?
It is rare but seems to be the case, for a married to a Thai national one year visa extension if you have married your Thai wife in your own country you have to get it notarized by your Embassy to obviously confirm that it is genuine and then you have to go to the...
I arrived in Thailand in January 2008 and I have a Non-immigrant visa multiple entry 1 year which does not expire until December 2008 I have just checked my passport and I have a visa stamp for 90 days but the consulate in my own country said I could stay in Thailand for 1 year!! What does this mean I am worried?

Darren, I am 65 years old and live in Thailand on a one year retirement visa every year I show the immigration bureau my funds of 800,000.00 baht in the bank I am currently in the process of bringing my 49 year old American wife to Thailand to live with me I am concerned about her visa can she come to Thailand on the 30 day arrival visa and then convert to a retirement visa as my wife and do I also have to deposit a further 800,000.00 in my Thailand bank to cover her visa, I have heard so many different stories.
It is imperative that your wife comes to Thailand on a 90 day non-immigrant visa because she is not at the age of 50 years she cannot change the visa on arrival 30 days to a non-immigrant visa which is needed to start the process of a retirement visa and it is also...
I have come to Thailand with a one year non-immigrant o type visa multiple entry I have just checked my visa stamp that I was given at the airport and they have only stamped me 30 days and not 90 days what can I do?
