How Can I Apply for a 60 Day Non-O Visa While in Thailand Without My Birth Certificate?

Question

Hi, I'm current on a 30 VOA which expires on Sat 07/03 so I plan to go to Immigration Chang Wattana on Fri for a 60 day non-O (I'm staying with my wife here) as I'm unable to return to China for work. I need to print a Visa Application form but I cannot find one on their site. Does anyone have a link to one?

Also on their website it says I need my Birth Certificate, however this is in China. Can I apply without it?

Many thanks.

I've looked on the website already hence my confusion. I cannot visit immigration because I'm outside Bankok now. What form do I need to complete and can I print one? I cannot find any printable forms on the website.

You do not need a birth certificate to apply for an Extension of Stay.

If you want to know what is needed best is to visit the Immigration Office and ask the hand out with requirements.

Yes, but don't I need to complete a form? Also the website says I need the marriage certificate, my passport and my birth certificate,

if you stay with your wife and I have to assume you mean that your wife has the Thai Nationality, you can get an Extension of Stay based on visiting family for 60 days.
