TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a one-year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national, it is essential to demonstrate both de facto and de jure aspects of the marriage, meaning that your marriage must be legally registered and you must be living together. The immigration authorities will likely conduct a house visit to verify your living situation, and failing to provide adequate proof could lead to the rejection of your application.

A one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national requires the marriage to be both de facto (where you and the spouse are living together) and de jure (where the marriage is legally registered with the government). If the government believes the husband and wife are not living together during the "under consideration" period, then the extension of stay will be rejected and a person has 7 days to leave Thailand.

If you apply for the Extension of Stay based on marriage with a Thai National, the application wil go under consideration and a house visit is made to make sure the marriage is real marriage and you live and share the house together.
