Non-O Visa for Marriage and Family Dependants in Thailand
For spouses of Thai nationals, parents of Thai children, and dependants of work-permit holders.
Quick answer
A foreign spouse of a Thai national can hold a Non-O and extend it one year at a time, generally showing at least 400,000 baht in a Thai bank or monthly income of 40,000 baht, plus a Thai marriage certificate, photos of the shared home, and witnesses. Officers may visit the home. Criteria change; check with immigration before filing. Contact our team for a quotation.

How it works
3-step process
- 1
Confirm the marriage status
A marriage registered abroad must be translated, legalised, and recorded at a Thai district office first.
- 2
Arrange funds or income
Funds must be seasoned for the period immigration requires; we check the dates before booking.
- 3
File and await review
An under-consideration stamp is usually issued, and a home visit may follow before approval.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I work once married?
A Non-O does not grant work rights by itself; a work permit is still needed, though Thai-spouse cases often face relaxed employer conditions.
Can deposits and income be combined?
For marriage extensions you generally show either the deposit or the income; combined methods apply only to some categories. Check with your filing office.
What if we divorce mid-term?
The basis for the permission ends; seek advice on switching visa type before the stay is cancelled.
