ORIGINAL POSTER
Extension based on marriage question.

I just returned to Thailand on August 21st using my re-entry permit. My last TM.47 (90-day report) expired on August 20th.

Since I don’t need to submit my next 90-day report until November, should I bring a copy of the expired TM.47 when applying for my marriage-based extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired whether they should bring their expired TM.47 when applying for a marriage-based visa extension in Thailand after recently re-entering the country. The response clarified that the expired TM.47 is not necessary, as the new entry initiates the 90-day reporting cycle. However, it is important to ensure that a TM30 address registration is filed with Thai immigration.

The old TM 47 is history. No need to bring it with your new extension as Married to Thai as your most recent entry began the 90 day count as being in Thailand.

Be sure to have a TM30 address registration on file with Thai Immigration since you reentered Thailand.
