Marriage (Spouse) Visa in Thailand
Many foreigners who marry a Thai citizen choose to apply for a Thai Marriage Visa in order to live together in Thailand long term. This visa allows the foreign spouse to stay in Thailand for one year at a time and can be extended annually, provided the relationship remains legally valid and all requirements continue to be satisfied.
The Thai Marriage Visa is issued under the Non-Immigrant “O” category and is specifically designed for spouses of Thai nationals.
