Hi All,

My question is regarding change of Address, moving out from BKK to other area (like Hua Hin/Rayong/phuket..) that will decided later.

when changing address in immigration of new area should my wife be involved due to my existed yearly extension is base on marriage?

I am thinking to change the extension to retirement later on...but now I am under marriage.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether the spouse is required to be involved when changing the address at immigration in Thailand for a marriage-based visa extension. It is clarified that the spouse's involvement is not necessary for the address change. The process typically includes filing a TM28 form for address change and possibly a TM30 form to notify immigration of a foreigner in residence. Additionally, transitioning from a marriage-based to a retirement visa for future extensions is stated to be straightforward.

I’m in Phuket. When I change residences, I just include it in my visa renewal process with a tm30 and new address on my forms

Nope she doesn't need to be involved in your changing your address at all (unless you want her to tag along)

Depending on the office you might have to file a TM28 (change of address) form and your land lord or you will have to file a TM30 (notification of foreigner in residence) then you'd be registered to use that immigration office for your 90 day reporting and your next extension when it comes due

Changing the reason for the extension isn't going to be tough to do when you go for the next yearly extension, you just apply for one based on retirement instead of marriage
