Can I use a property that isn't in my wife's name for my marriage extension in Thailand?
Im about to apply for an extension based on marriage .
My wife has two properties.
The one closest to immigration is the property that has her name in the blue book.But we dont like staying there.
The other property which is 150km from immigration is where we spend more time .
Can we use the further away property for the extension by supplying the chanote as the blue book for that property doesnt list her name.

Answer summary
When applying for a marriage visa extension in Thailand, you must use the address where you actually reside, even if it's not the property owned by your spouse. The immigration office may visit the residence for verification. If you want to use a property that is 150km away and not listed under your wife's name, you need to either update the house registration to reflect your actual living situation or prepare to file the extension in the jurisdiction where the property is located. A chanote can be used for verification purposes, but a lease in your name would also suffice.

you need to use the Immigration office that serves the location where your most recent TM30 has been logged in

Both properties are served by the same office.So I will refine a new tm30 for the property where I spend the most time.

Yes i know, ive done one extension about 3 yrs ago.They visited once just before I handed in application as my photos were selfies

Wife's property makes zero difference.
YOU need a chanote or a lease in your name.
If she is the owner, she can simply make a lease for you and you are done.

Why would I need a lease?The chanote is in her nameJan ******************
@Tony *******
You don’t need a lease. With a housebook or chanote she can do a TM.30 on you.Tony ********

You cannot freely choose which property to use based on convenience. The address used for the extension must match where you are officially registered and where the competent immigration office has jurisdiction. If you want to use the second property, you may need to update the house registration or be prepared to file the extension at the immigration office covering that location. Both housebook and chanote can be used for filling a TM.30.

Use the property where you will be living as Immigration will most likely do a visit to confirm the address and marriage.

ok will do thankyouEllie *******
There is no rule that you have to live in owned property. You must use the address you really live in, regardless of owned or not.

Ok thats great ,we will use the further away property for the extension.So is there no need to put her name in the other further away house book?She has owned both properties for many years
Ellie *******
@Tony *******
, Basically, no need. But you/she may need proof that the property belongs to her. This is because you have to prove that you live in the place legally.Tony ********
OP@Ellie ******
That's great ,we will supply the chanote title ,and some power bills to that adressActivity
