TLDR : Answer Summary

The extension for a multi-entry Non-O visa must be done at the immigration office that serves the area where the visa holder and their Thai spouse reside, as reflected by the local house book. Using a different office or a house book with another address is generally not acceptable.

@Ja***

making your wife have a house book listing in the area of the immigration office you're using makes NO sense, as in NONE at all.

I know More than a few thai women married foreigners here in Bangkok who are listed on house books in their home province.

All bangkok does is make you go to the Amphur and get a stamped copy of her house book listing stating it's real.

Are you sure this isn't a "lost in translation" moment?

To answer your question ;

you go use the immigration office that serves the area where you and your thai wife live. You have to use the office that serves your address here

thank you but that's not our issue, I'm questioning because some offices are said to be easier or more "cooperative" than others.

A Thai house book is the official registration of a Thai person and their legal address. This is used by a Thai to do government related activities. If your wife tries to use another person's housebook, it will be rejected because it wouldn't have your wife's name on it.

And 1 more question, is it acceptable to use a family member's house book in a different area (at their local office)?

Different immigration offices have different policies, however I can not see why an immigration office will allow your wife to NOT use her housebook. All Thais have a housebook.

Thanks Tod! Is that because the address on our "house book" must be local?
