What are the requirements for extending a NON-O visa based on marriage in Thailand?

Remember both signatures must be on any paperwork

Got this at Changwattana last Friday.

You need to go to your local immigration office for a handout of requirements to be sure. As Benjamin said, each immigration office has a different requirement list and nobody knows which immigration office you are going to deal with.

You follow what they say...spot on every time...very knowledgeable...

Each immigration office has their own requirements.

1. Your passport and a copy of:

- Your data ("picture") page

- Your Non-O visa

- Your entry stamp

- Your departure card

2. Your wife PHYSICALLY next to you, and

- Her ID card and a copy of her ID card

- Her housebook, and a copy of the first page

3. To meet the money requirements, which are:

- 400K THB in a Thai bank account, seasoned for 2 months OR;

- 40K THB in income OR;

- a letter from your embassy saying you make 40K THB a month [Note: If your embassy offers this letter, you CAN NOT use the income method]

4. Marriage certificate (either the rose border certificate, OR a translated copy from your home country)

5. The application form

6. 2x passport pictures

7. 1,900 THB for the processing fee.

Different immigration offices have different requirements, and *USUALLY* include:

- A copy of the TM30 filed where you live

- A hand drawn map to your house

- Pictures of you and your wife in various locations in the house (front of the house/ condo, in all rooms, etc)

- Witnesses or interviews with neighbors

- Rental contract (if renting property or a condo)
