Do I need a new photo for my marriage visa extension application in Thailand?

Yes

It is worth trying to find your offices requirements for photos and paperwork. Often you can download the forms online. When you go to the office present them with 2 folders(everything in duplicate)with everything filled out and each page signed. It does make the process quicker and happier.

Do immigration still require a white background for the passport size face photo?

Yes. New photo for the visa application and new photos taken in your home. It's annoying, but it's not a big deal.

I had an 80+ year old friend of mine in a wheelchair get called on the carpet for using the same passport photo as the previous year on the extension application.

I had to wheel him downstairs at Chaengwattana, get a new photo taken, peel off the old photo and stick the new one on the application to complete the process :O

they are merciless about using a passport photo taken within the last 6 months <- meaning you can't use the previous years photos

Yes, new photos inside/outside house are needed every year.. but the good news is that many immigration offices will accept the photos printed on standard photocopy paper.. meaning they don't have to be on photographic paper.. which saves you money and more importantly if you forget to get them printed off before you go.. you can nip to a nearby photocopy shop and get them done.. as we did one year at the copy kiosk behind the immigration building.. which avoided driving around looking for a proper photo printing shop!

Yes, they do want

For those who know, does it require to resubmitted the whole paperwork again or can I just use the old paperwork just with new pictures?

If that is what they want, just do it if you want the extension.

Usually, yes

I just picked mine up last week. Guy before me and myself both told we had used same passport photo as last year and to go get a new one. They were checking against last year’s extension application forms.

Yes I've always been told new pictures needed, pictures in the house as well.

20 years of extensions 3 different types.

Yes

Why not doing new photos? 1 print-out is 0.10 baht.

More and more offices require you to have new photos of you and your wife (and family). A passport-size photo has to be new, too.
