What are the requirements and timelines for extending a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand?

@Graham *****

Yes.

@Peter *********

Easy to proceed then with a Kor Ror 2 form (costs 20B) from your amphur to confirm you are still married

@Graham *****

Yes. They asked both the KR2 and the KR3.

@Peter *********

If you have no choice but to use an agency this time, ask the IO exactly what evidence they need of your income of 40k a month and make sure you can provide that evidence next year, to avoid the agent's fee

@Alexandr ****

The affordable agents seem to be located in Pattaya only.

@Tim ********

Afaik you will still need to prove that the required 400k was in your account for 2 or 3 months after receiving the previous extension. That makes it hard to untie yourself from the agent, unless you have 400k in your bank at the date of the extension.

@Peter *********

I agree that is possible. Depends in the IO and the officer on the day. If the OP is changing the method to monthly and can show they meet that requirement, and have done for the previous 12 months, then I think it is worth a try. Worst case scenario is they again use an agenth

@Alexandr ****

this is the generic list of requirements for the 60 day extension but again each immigration office has their own requirements.

@Brandon ***********

and that extension can not get re-entry?

@Jyrki ********

you can, but why do you need a re-entry for 60 days? Seems like a waste of 1000 baht

@Brandon ***********

I Have 90 days Non-o visa single entry. And If I get 60 days extension, IS that also not having re-entry?

@Jyrki ********

not unless you pay for a re-entry permit

@Brandon ***********

I tought when My visa IS single, Then the extension is also.

@Jyrki ********

extensions are not single entry. They are zero entry. You're already in Thailand. That's why you need a re-entry permit if you want to leave without losing it

@Alexandr ****

I don’t know. I received my 1st one year extension 3 months ago and had money in the bank in time for the request. I never asked for the 60 day extension.

I guess (guess!) that the 60 day extension requires less paperwork but the only 100% positive answer can be obtained at the immigration office.

To be honest… You failed to properly inquire ahead of time. As a result you will need to catch up with great speed. That may require the rest of the week. But we have all spent that much time in preparation, just not in the last minute (or week).

Remain friendly and patient during the process as it can be very frustrating at times. In my case the IO had me return several times because they found something missing in my stack of documents.

E.g. they only accepted photos of my wife and me in and near the house. Images of our holiday two weeks earlier were refused. I ended up making all the required photos.

They require (among others) a picture of you two on the bed. So in the end I added a picture in which we were both jumping on the bed, like children. They appreciated our sense of humor and eased up a bit (but never filed that image). 🤣

My first purchase in Thailand, besides food, was a printer. The first pack of paper has gone already, only on procedural paperwork for Immigration and other governmental organizations, insurance and banks.
