Is a statutory declaration for marriage required for extending Non-O visas in Thailand?

Oct 7, 2019

My wife and I will be extending our visas in Chiang Rai.

I have a Non-O (with work permit) & my wife a Non-O (following me).

My foundation admin has said we will need to show immigration our wedding certificate and ALSO a statutory declaration from an embassy stating we are married.

Is the statutory declaration for marriage really a requirement?

If yes, can I use one that we have from Bangkok many years ago?

Thanks for you help :-)

, the only way you're really gonna know is for you and your wife (and maybe a competent thai speaker) to go to the immigration office BEFORE you need to get your extension and get the hand out or sheet that lists the requirements.

You are best asking Chiang Rai immigration exactly what they require in order to get the extension before your visas expire.
