Marriage visa extension house photos

Hi everyone,

Can you use the same photos as the year before for your non o marriage visa extension?

Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™
Answer summary
The consensus among responders indicates that you should not use the same photos from the previous year when applying for a non-O marriage visa extension in Thailand. New, recent photos are required to prove your current living situation, and many users emphasized the importance of providing updates each year. Some comments suggest using the latest images to avoid potential issues during the extension approval process.

Even with agent, you can't use old pictures. So the normal route, zero chance. You need newer pictures.

In Chiang Mai no. They have to be different every year. I'll keep for myself my opinion in regards to the whole thing.

Care on photos with house number - my phone selfies inverted house number, so ended up putting phone on a rickety tripod... Just about OK.

Just use your phone to take new pics and get them printed in colour on A4 paper . Make sure you get the building No as one of them .

They might take more themselves , if they do a home visit .

No.. they need to be recent photos.. we always get asked when they were taken.. plus there's the potential for it to be identified by the HQ audit team during the 'under consideration' period.. in which case they could reject your extension.. the purpose of the photos is to show you at the property in the days leading up to your application.. and while the value of them to authenticate anything meaningful may be lost on most of us.. that remains the current requirement ๐Ÿ˜

In Phetchaburi province you need to take new photos every year, because they are supposed to be up to date as you apply for your extension.

Guido Falcinelli this depends on the office. I only had home visit the first year and they didn't even come inside the house. They just wanted to see our 2 witnesses ID and เธ—เธฐเน€เธšเธตเธขเธ™เธšเน‰เธฒเธ™. The visit lasted about 5-10 min.

is just printing them on to A4 paper from the printer in your house good enough?

ST62 Yes, it is acceptable in CM anyway.. we do this every year ๐Ÿ‘

ST62 Just take a few photos in and around the house, just make sure the house number is well visible and readable. Color printing on paper is fine in Bangkok. We take new photos each year so far but we also lived in another house each time, so not sure about old photos, but I would not try it.

I wouldn't have thought so, although that may vary by immigration office. The photos are proof of your living situation at the time you apply
