ORIGINAL POSTERAnyone gotten an extension of stay based on marriage (At Chaengwattana) without having the affidavit of freedom to marry form? I got the form before getting married, but never figured I would need that form again. Now seeing it as a requirement on a list of docs needed for the extension. Maybe not necessary? Seems quite redundant seeing as I am clearly married to a Thai already.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring about the necessity of the Affidavit of Freedom to Marry for extending their stay in Thailand based on marriage. They express confusion over the requirement since they are already married to a Thai national and question the validity of the documentation list indicating that this affidavit is necessary. Other comments suggest confusion and possible mix-ups with different forms required.

ORIGINAL POSTERIs it possible to get an additional printing of the marriage certificate and have them change the spelling of my last name in Thai so that it matches the spelling on the affidavit?

Copy of Kor Ror 2 (marriage registration or long tabian) from amphur office. Depending on Immigration office how updated this copy must be, some say 6 months some say 1 week.

Supporting document nr 3 is a total wrong translation.

Do you have a copy of this list?
Mike ******
ORIGINAL POSTERIt was listed next to that among some other things. I'm leaning towards that it was probably incorrect, and that is why I'm asking for other peoples' experiences.

Could it be a mix up with the Kor Ror 2 form. This paper you get from local Amphur and is proof that your marriage is still registered.

ORIGINAL POSTERlist someone showed me. May not be reliable, which is why I was curious.

Affidavit of freedom to marry to apply for Extension of Stay based on Marriag. This sounds very strange, where did you find that list of requirements?
