ORIGINAL POSTER

The list of documents required at Chiang Mai for a 1-year extension of stay base on Thai wife/children says, "In case of divorce must bring Divorce Certificate to show"

* Does that mean the legal proof of divorce previous to your current marriage? I mean, that's necessary in order to get a Thai marriage registration & certificate, which you need to include with the application anyway.

* Or is it for the case when you have divorced the mother of your half-Thai children?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a 1-year extension of stay in Chiang Mai based on being married to a Thai national or having half-Thai children, you must present a Divorce Certificate only if you are divorced from the mother of your half-Thai children. This requirement does not apply if you are still married to a Thai spouse; thus, the document serves to clarify the circumstances under which you are seeking the extension.

Tod *********

It's for IF you're getting the extension based on raising half thai children and are divorced from the mother (which is why you're NOT getting a marriage extension).

It's got nothing to do with getting a year extension based on marriage to a thai when you're still married to her :P

Yeah, that's why I asked - it is vague and I couldn't figure out why they needed to know I am divorced from my ex-wife. 🤔😛

Thanks!
