I have been informed that I must have 18 months on my passport if I want to extend it for one year based on marriage. I have just arrived in Pattaya with a 90 day non O visa but only have eleven months left on my passport. What can I do?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on extending their marriage-based visa in Thailand while having only 11 months left on their passport, which is reportedly less than the required 18 months. Commenters clarify that there is generally no strict rule on passport validity for applying for a visa extension; however, any extension granted will only be valid until the passport's expiration date. There may be local regulations that vary by immigration office, such as in Jomtien.
