Could anyone provide a laundry list of requirements to get the extension of stay based on marriage (O) visa? Research online is throwing up some contrary and confusing requirements. Thank you.

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.

using chaengwattana doesn't change the fact you should slog on out there BEFORE you go for your extension every year to get the newest hand out and have your thai wife ask them if there's anything NOT on the list you need. ;) :)

3. To meet the money requirements, which are:

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