Good morning, I went to our local immigration , Sisaket, this morning to get my 60 days visa extension for visiting family because I can't make a border bouncing. I'm on a Non Immigrant O mutiple entry based on marriage to a Thai. Issued Savannakhet, Laos last year April.

Arrived 5 minutes before 9 am left 20 minutes passed 9 am.

I gave my passport

1 copy from our German Wedding Paper, which I got legalized translated 25 years ago . Signed by both of us

1 copy from my wife's ID signed by her

1 copy from the Tabian ban signed by her

1 Passport picture

From all the copies I had the originals with me but nobody asked for them.

The IO made a copy from my passport

Filled the application form for the visa extension

IO typed it in the computer gave me the printout to sign

After that he stamped my passport I payed 1900 BAHT plus 20 BAHT for the passport copy.

Got my passport back and a friendly bye bye.

All done in 25 minutes.

Don't forget to wear a mask. Inside you can clean your hands . I had only 2 people in front.

I forgot to mention, ALL WITHOUT MY WIFE.

and what this isn't gonna turn into is a "my office doesn't do that" thread. They did things different, your mileage may vary, void where prohibited by law, contents may have settled during shipping, filled by weight not volume, do not mail matches :O

I have same visa and situation as you. Sat at immigration all day yesterday at Chaengwattana . Only to be told bring my wife (Thai national) in to get a picture taken. I told them no, because i have 2 small babies and it's not safe. They dont care about life. Only money.

Now i see your experience and am even more confused.

there are 70+ immigration offices in the country, they do things differently.

FEW immigration offices will let you apply for an extension without the reason you're getting the extension being there with you

OP

it was a very friendly and helpful staff there. Same as I wrote, without my wife. Not sure it counts for all immigration offices.
