UK passport. SETV ends 22 Jan.
Can I extend 60 days based on marriage at my local Immigration office (Bueng Kan)?
Anyone had experience of Bueng Kan IO (strict and bureaucratic or relaxed like Udon?)
If so, do I need 400k Baht in Thai bank for this 60 day extension or just the usual 20k Baht for extensions.
What steps and docs are needed?
Form TM7
Photos x 2
Marriage certificate (and copies)
Wife to attend with me???
Wife ID, Tabien Baan (and signed copies)
Proof of funds?? 20k or 400k in Thai bank
TM30 (and copy)
Passport and TM6 (and copies signed)
Flight out confirmation???
No hotel booking as staying with missus parents. Or is it better as a "tourist" to be hotel based and have copies of bookings?
1900B Fee
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, holding a UK passport, is seeking guidance on extending their 60-day SETV visa based on marriage at the Bueng Kan Immigration Office. They wonder if their wife needs to accompany them, what documentation is necessary, and whether they need to show 400k Baht in a Thai bank or just the usual 20k Baht for the extension. Community responses indicate that the extension can be granted if the wife is present and that it costs 1,900 Baht. The office is described as generally relaxed but becoming stricter on certain documentation, like the need to report after traveling within the province.
