Once you have your marriage visa and you return for the 1 year extension is there anoter waiting period? We have finished the under consideration and had the home visit. Thank you
Answer summary
Yes, there is typically an under consideration period for the marriage visa extension, just like there was for the initial visa application. After finishing the under consideration process and completing the home visit, your extension application will likely be sent to a larger office for approval, which may lead to an additional waiting period of 30 to 60 days if those offices are busy. Once the extension is approved and stamped in your passport, you will be able to stay in Thailand until the next year, although you will still need to submit 90-day reports.

Dan Adams no unless the rules have changed. Now for the 90-day reports

Yes, it happens every year because your local office is not authorised to issue extensions based on marriage, so your application is sent to eitherBangkok or Chiang Mai for approval. If these offices are busy, the under consideration period can be extended from 30 to 60 days.

Yes there will be an under consideration period for your extension just as there was for the visa

Once the under consideration period is over and you have the remainder of the 12 month extension stamped in your passport you're good until next year other than 90 day reports
