CW non-o marriage requirements

Does anyone have a copy of the current valid non-o for marriage extension requirements from Chaeng Wattana?

Or barring that can I go and pick them up easily? I don't want to wait in a massive queue just to pic up a sheet.

I did search the group but couldn't see info on this, so apologies if it's faq'd or repeated. Thanks.

I went up to the immigration office in person and got one from the main desk where there is no queue but make sure that you get to there are two different directions sheets and you should get both and combine both of the sheets requirements. When you meet with the immigration officer they may ask for some additional documentation such as a letter from a neighbor verifying where you and your spouse are living along with their identification such as Thai ID or passport they also asked for a 3-month statement print out from my bank showing the funds on top of the bank book present day update

I was also wondering, did you have to get all your bank updates (passbook and letter) on the actual day of the application? I had to do that last time, but this is my first time in Bangkok?

I guess Central Chaeng Wattana is ok for branches, but seems inconvenient to do here because of CW's massive wait time, so the need to arrive early.

, CW accepts a bank letter and transaction log up to 7 days old. Then update your passbook with a small transaction on the day of application.

I actually recently lost my passbook and had to replace it, unfortunately the shows the money, but not for the required period just a brought forward note. Guessing I need to go to back to the bank and get it fixed before application day.

It’s the 3rd extension for my husband. Usually we will get the financial docs before the actual date (letter) to save time and will transfer some money and get book bank updates on the actual date. That’s it. Still, we will arrive early.

So bank book update on the date, ok that's helpful, as they could be done from a passbook machine, helpful, thanks!

We usually go for the machine instead of seeing the staff. You will also need to submit a photocopy of the updated book bank.

Thanks, is this an immigration enquiry desk, at the downstairs immigration point? Not at the 90 day extension place.

This is a general list of requirements for an extension based on marriage

It is NOT office specific but will get you in the ballpark

You should slog on out to Chaengwattana and get the most recent hand out before you go for the extension 🙂
