ORIGINAL POSTER

Still having problems having my marriage visa extension approved, got the chanote and other supporting documents, but there was some issue with everything matching up due to  the owner living abroad and it being managed by a different person.  

IO officer seems to change their requirements now we provided what they asked for first time, proving a difficult process and I am running out of time. 

I asked about the 60 day visit spouse extension, one IO on the info desk said yes  you can apply for the 1 year after the 60 days, and the family officer seemed to confirmed this, but then they said the documents they want are all the same, so including living situation.

This seems a bit strange, I get needing a permanent address for 1 year living with spouse, but the 60 days could just be for visiting, why would you need the rental agreements etc?   (I guess fundamentally it's at the offices/officers discretion?) 

Frustrated honestly, wife not happy with it all either.

Oh just wondering, could I go to a different province, like chang wattana, and try to get the 60 days? 

Advice always appreciated, thanks 🙂

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is experiencing challenges with their marriage visa extension application at the Jomtien immigration office, primarily due to mismatched documents stemming from the property owner's situation. They are frustrated by changing requirements from immigration officers and have questions about applying for a 60-day visit spouse extension. Responses from the community suggest options such as checking into a hotel to register and apply for the extension or switching to a retirement visa as a potentially easier alternative.

I also had major probs w trying to get a Non-O based on marriage. So many stipulations and paperwork. Ended up in frustration and instead I just switched to a Non-O retirement. Was easy peasy. And u won’t have to worry about a divorce making the marriage visa void. U might consider switching visas to a retirement?

(And a year later switched to the LTR-WP)
