Good evening. My goal is to get a visa extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen. This is the first time applying. Iโ€™ll be first getting a non immigration O from a 30 day visa exempt.

I believe I have all the required documents and photos etc. As Iโ€™ve read a lot of really helpful posts on here ๐Ÿ™

Can somebody please help me to confirm where I should now take this application and documents? We live in Bangkok.

Thank you so much for your help ๐Ÿ™
Answer summary
A user seeking to extend their visa based on marriage to a Thai citizen in Bangkok asks for guidance on where to submit their application after obtaining a Non-Immigrant O visa from a 30-day visa exempt status. The community responses suggest applying at the Chaengwattana Government Complex, emphasizing the need for at least 15 days remaining on the current visa stamp before applying. They also mention the associated fees and necessary documentation for both the initial application and subsequent yearly extension.

@Sven ***
you say this in your post; ๐—œโ€™๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ข ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฎ ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜ <- that means in Bangkok as Ellie said you need a minimum of 15 days left on your current stamp's validity. (the application goes under review for 2 weeks before you go back to get the Non-O visa and a new 90 day stamp inked in)

ALSO

you apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa 2000baht in Section C-1 and go back there after 2 weeks to get the visa/new stamp inked in.

You apply for the YEARLY extension for 1900baht in Section L-1 once your new 90 day stamp runs down (and you need ALL new documentation to do that?

So when you go back to get the new Non-O visa and 90 day stamp inked in stop over in section L-1 and get the hand out listing the requirements for the yearly extension that way you know what you need when you go back in a couple months

In Bangkok, you will go to counter C, Chaengwattana Government Complex Building B.

Be sure you have more than 15 days with your current stamp on the day you apply for an in-country Non-O visa.

FYI, the Bangkok Immigration office site has this, but no guarantee it is the latest.

okay, you're confusing your 'affirmation of freedom to marry" document you got from your embassy with the papers you got when you registered the marriage at the loca Amphur

The Kor Ror 3 is the rose bordered (suitable for framing) marriage certificate

The Kor Ror 2 looks like a form all in thai and MOST offices are now requiring you get a new one every year (they cost 20 baht to print off at ANY Amphur)

Here's what they look like, the Left side Kor Ror 2, right side Kor Ror 3

, Kor Roh 3 is the original marriage certificate when you got married. Kor Roh 2 is a certificate saying you are still married.

Did you see the sheet I attached above?
