My husband just applied for one year extension base on marriage and he is under consideration for 30 days. They already visited our home and said we need to go back on the last days of the 30 days extension. Is this something common to check on the last day ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
It is common procedure for Thai immigration to conduct a follow-up check on the last day of the 30-day extension consideration for visa applications based on marriage. The applicant typically returns to the immigration office to collect the stamp, and preparations may be requested in advance.

Take a queue and wait in front of counter L8. Update your pass book, copy and signed on it to hand over. That's it.

Is that the immigration office the OP is using? I looked for the immigration office in the post, and I can’t find it.

Then better a person in charge should go and ask to OP to clarify which region he/she will be visited on next appointment. Sharing the basic procedure of getting the result after 30 days under considerations stamp, must be same.

I think that's normal. You go there on the date stamped on the passport to get your final extension stamped. Btw how many days after the submission did they come for a visit. And did they call you before visiting?

Yes...normal procedure.

And do NOT spend any of the 400,000 Thai baht in his Thai bank until AFTER he has final approval and the one year extension in his passport.

Normal procedure, he just goes back and collects his stamp. Eventually they will ask for the bankbook, CW does that.
