The discussion centers around the requirements for renewing a one-year marriage visa extension in Thailand. Key documentation includes various copies related to the applicant's passport, marriage certificate, photographs of the couple, and bank statements showing sufficient funds. It's important to visit the specific immigration office prior to applying to ascertain any additional documentation needed. The process also involves a waiting period for approval from the Regional Immigration Head Office.

The only real way you'll know what the specific immigration office you use requires as far as documentation (out of the 70+ immigration offices in the country) is to go over there BEFORE you need your extension and get the hand out (most offices have one) AND ask them if anything not on the list is also needed.
Just so you're clear, you're NOT getting a one year marriage VISA from an immigration office, you're applying for a yearly extension. ;)
Good Luck.

About the process.
After the Immigration officer handles and sorts and checks the documents, 1 stack of papers will be send to the Regional Immigration Head office and 1 stack will be kept at the local Immigration.
Then you will get a "Under Consideration" Stamp in your passport that after approx 30 days you have to go back to Immigration to get the "verdict" / Final Stamp because the decision has to come from the Regional Immigration Head Office.
