ORIGINAL POSTER
I have just picked up my 12 months non O marriage visa from Udon Thani immigration.

They told me that immigration police will come to see me at home but they already have been once a few weeks ago, is this normal for them to visit twice?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user received a 12-month non-O marriage visa and inquired if it's common for immigration police to visit them at home more than once. Community members explained that the visits are routine due to the nature of visa extensions, indicating that each extension application is treated as a new application. Experiences shared suggest that additional visits can occur, particularly when applying for or receiving permits related to travel.

I got mine a few weeks ago. For the under consideration part they came and visited and said they will do another visit. But at immigration. Once I got the actual stamp. Nothing was mentioned of another visit.

They did for us. They said it was for the re-entry permit (I got a re-entry permit the same day I got the 1 year stamp).

It worked like this for us:

1: Applied for 1 year extension

2: Got visit from Immigration

3: Got approved

4: Went to Immigration office, got 1 year stamp, got re-entry permit at the same time. They said we'd have another visit from Immigration.

5: Got another visit from immigration

Did you get a re-entry permit at the same time you got your 1 year stamp?

It sounds like you applied for the 90-day non-O visa based on marriage, and they came to visit you after that. And now you've applied for the 1-year extension (not a visa, it's an extension), and so they are coming to visit you based on this brand new application. Each extension is a brand new application, you are not renewing anything, you are applying for a brand new extension.
