The Non-O Marriage Visa lets you live in Thailand year after year as the spouse of a Thai national. NYC covers marriage registration, bank seasoning, Immigration filing, home visits and long-term renewals.
Non-O Marriage requires either THB 400,000 seasoned for 2 months (first application) or 3 months (renewal) in a foreign-national's own Thai account, or a THB 40,000/month income letter. Core documents: Kor Ror 2/3, spouse's house registration, and 20 daily-life photos. NYC service from THB 15,000 plus THB 1,900 government fees.
Route 1: THB 400,000 held in the foreigner's sole Thai account — never a joint account — for 2 months (first) or 3 months (renewal). The balance may drop to no less than THB 200,000 for the 3 months after approval, but must return to THB 400,000 for the remaining year. Route 2: A monthly income letter of THB 40,000 from your embassy; the UK, US and Australia no longer issue these, forcing route 1.
1) Passport with prior visa 2) TM.7 3) Four 4×6 photos 4) Kor Ror 2 + 3 marriage certificate 5) Spouse's tabien baan 6) Spouse's Thai ID 7) Map to residence 8) 20 family photos 9) Bank letter + 12-month statement 10) MFA-legalised marriage certificate (if foreign) 11) Embassy status letter 12) TM.30 residence notification.
The Non-O Marriage itself is not a work authorisation, but it is a qualifying visa for a Work Permit. Companies with THB 1M paid-up capital or two Thai employees can sponsor a WP.3 filing at the Department of Employment. NYC offers a combined Non-O + Work Permit package at THB 28,000.
Since 2019 several offices (Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hua Hin) conduct random home visits 30-90 days after approval. Officers look for both spouses' personal belongings, shared bedroom and framed family photos. Any 'sham marriage' finding triggers cancellation and a 5-year blacklist.
You must notify Immigration within 7 days of divorce; the visa is cut to a 7-day departure window, unless you qualify for Non-O Retirement (50+) or a Non-B work track. Widowed spouses may pivot to Non-O for minor children or an eligible alternative visa.
Register at any Thai amphur or MFA-legalise a foreign marriage certificate. NYC handles the Bang Rak amphur filing at no extra fee.
Open a Thai bank account in your own name and inward-remit THB 400,000 — hold for 2 months (first) or 3 months (renewal).
Inside Thailand file Change of Type at Chaeng Wattana (THB 2,000). Outside Thailand file Non-O 90-day at your Thai Embassy first.
File 30 days before expiry. Your Thai spouse must attend in person for an interview and provide at least 20 in-home photos.
Immigration may inspect the marital home 30-90 days after approval. NYC provides a pre-visit briefing so both spouses are prepared.
Yes — translate it into Thai, legalise it at the Thai MFA, and present it to Immigration. All Hague/non-Hague marriage certificates are accepted once MFA-attested.
Year one: yes — both are interviewed. From year two, some offices accept a power of attorney and ID copy in lieu of the spouse's physical presence.
No — the funds must be in the foreigner's sole account and originate from an inward international transfer (FTT reference on the statement).
No. Immigration only counts a single foreign national's own Thai bank account held in their sole name, so joint accounts, a Thai spouse's account and pooled family funds are all rejected. The money must also be seasoned in that account for the required number of months before the application date.
After 3 continuous years on Non-O Marriage with 3 years of tax filing you may apply for Permanent Residence; after 5 years, citizenship. NYC runs both PR and Naturalisation service lines.
