If you’re married to a Thai citizen and want to stay in Thailand, the Non-Immigrant “O” Marriage Visa allows you to live with your partner legally. This guide offers up-to-date steps, documents, and tips based on the latest immigration practices.

Step A: Legally Register Your Marriage

• Register at the Amphur (District Office): You and your Thai spouse must register your marriage and obtain both Kor Ror 3 (marriage certificate) and Kor Ror 2 (marriage registration).
• If your marriage took place abroad, you must have it reported to a Thai Amphur and issued a Kor Ror 22 document to validate it in Thailand.

Documents from the Thai Spouse (Wife)
