In addition to meeting financial requirements, such as showing sufficient funds in a Thai bank account or proof of monthly income, the applicant must also provide a valid marriage certificate, proof of cohabitation, and other supporting documents. This visa allows long-term stay in Thailand and can be extended annually at the local immigration office.

    work permit in Thailand

    Note that work under the Foreign Employment Act is described very broadly, i.e. working by exercising one's physical energy or employing one's knowledge, whether or not for wages or other benefits. The law does NOT define work as doing something in return for financial or any other reward. Working without a valid work permit leads to fines, possible imprisonment and deportation out of Thailand.
