Good Morning, I came into Thailand on a multi entry tourist visa.

Following the amnesty l was given a non o visa until 22 Nov 2020.

To apply for the 1 year visa,( l am married to a Thai ) do I use form TM 7. I have all the required funds and documents.

My wife has been told this Visa will require a visit from the police to our house . Is this correct.

Many Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual inquired about using form TM 7 to apply for a one-year visa as they are married to a Thai citizen. They pointed out that they have all necessary funds and documents and asked if a home visit by the police is required. A response confirmed that form TM7 is indeed the correct form to use. Additionally, it was mentioned that during the application process, there is typically a 30-day period during which immigration officers may conduct a home visit. However, another user noted their experience of not having a home visit for their extension, potentially due to prior visa status.

You do indeed use form TM7 (application for extension of stay).

When you apply for the year extension you will get a 30 day under consideration stamp and during that 30 days immigration officers will come to the house and do a home visit. Then when that 30 day stamp is up to you go back to the immigration office and get the extension inked into your passport
