OPJust posted this review on the google maps thing for Immigration at Korat :
“First class service - courteous, helpful, accommodating and friendly. Cannot fault the staff at Korat Immigration office.”
The whole process was painless and even pleasant! Took copies of wife’s ID, housebook, marriage certs, her change of name cert & birth certs of the kids. Had all originals also.
Got 60 days extension without any trouble.
Thanks again to all who offered advice😀

Tod/Robert can confirm but there’s a 60 day ‘visit family’ option. If it can be done from a visa exempt then it’s the same form, the same cost from the same place?Bill **********
I’m afraid this goes way beyond my level of expertise which is purely focused on tourist visas.

if you are married to a Thai national/have a Thai family, can’t you do a 60 day extension based on visiting your Thai wife or child?George *******
OPCheers Bill - I'll print that off and complete it in advance (y)

Copy of ID page passport, Copy of Admitted to Stay stamp page, Copy of Departure Card, 1 passport picture, TM7 Application form (you get at Immigration Office, the fee of 1.900 Thb. For parking assistance and how to get to the office we can not help you. The best time is between 08:30 in the morning till 16:00 in the afternoon as their opening times but not between 12:00 and 13:00 as it is their lunchtime.

OPAha - I actually live here.... just came back after a spell in the UK and haven't got my marriage visa sorted out yet (and that'll be a load of questions for another day and another thread!).

@George ******
You can do in advance, but not many tourist carry a printer during their holidays, that's why i'm surprised. LOLGeorge *******
OPRobert i see your surprise at my idea to complete the TM7 in advance - does this have to be completed in the presence of the immigration official, or perhaps by the official, or can it be completed in advance by myself?

OPmany thanks robert (y)
