Frequently Asked Questions
Does my Thai spouse need to come to immigration with me?
In most cases, yes. Immigration officers typically want to interview both spouses, especially for the first extension. Some offices may conduct home visits to verify the marriage is genuine.
Can I work on a Marriage Visa?
A Marriage Visa alone does not grant work permission. However, you can apply for a work permit separately while on a Marriage Visa, and the financial requirements for a work permit may be reduced for those married to Thai nationals.
