What are the requirements for family pictures and maps for a Non-O visa extension at Chaengwattana immigration?
For Chaengwattana immigration, does anyone know 1) What format of family pictures with Thai wife are needed for a Non-O visa extension (Thai Spouse). Do they have to be printed on photopaper or does it have to be colored or B&W printed on normal paper? 2) Can the map just be google maps with condo circled?
Answer summary
To extend a Non-O visa as a Thai spouse at Chaengwattana immigration, you need to consider the following: 1) Family pictures should be printed on photo paper and arranged on A4 paper. It's advisable to include various rooms (bedroom, living room, dining room) with you and your spouse, ensuring the house address is clearly visible. 2) A hand-drawn map is preferred over a Google Maps printout, highlighting your residence. The immigration officers meticulously check that the address on all documents matches.

Front view of house where house address number must clearly appears next to you and spouse. Bedroom, living room, dinning room with you and spouse. Chang wattana officers literally circle the address number on your photo, tm.30 slip and on your rental lease. They must be the same address number of course. Other than that, bedroom, living room, dinning room with you and spouse. Copy centers there can print them in color, sending to them via Line App.

Hand drawn map not google maps.
Best print out photos and stick them on A4 paper. Yes both totally stupid ways of doing it but thats what they usually want

Best NOT to print out photos on A4 paper. Best to get them developed and glue them on A4 paper...At least that's why they send me back the first time.Michael ********
@Jordi *******
uhmm thats exactly what i said. " Best print out photos and sticl them on A4 paper" ???Michael ********
@Jordi *******
well meant print out at shop or if you have photo printer yes. ?Jordi ********
@Michael *******
Printing, as coming out of a home office printer, was not accepted. At least in Trat they need developed photographs. The glossy kind, the ones you have in your old school albums at home. See the difference? Or do you have a photo printer? Than, yes you can "print" them.

You need to indicate which immigration office or people won't be able to give you an accurate answer. Each immigration office has their own policies.

they require a hand drawn map as Google maps is not always accurate enough for a visit in the bangkok area. My wife just tapes regular 4x6 pictures to sheets of notebook paper, and they've never been refused.Kool *******

my wife draws them, as she doesn't think mine are detailed enough...hehe.

my immigration office now wants a hand drawn map between my house and the immigration office 30km distant. Up until last year it was just the area round the village with major roads marked. To be fair they usually take my feeble attempts and redraw themselvesJoseph ****

extremely helpful, much appreciated 🙏🙏Kool *******

my wife just tapes regular 4x6 printed photos to regular A4 sheets of paper, and has for the last 8 years.Joseph ****
OP@Kool ******
thanks thats very helpful. Also for the family photos did you print out regular photos aswell?Kool *******
@Joseph ***
you draw the map from the closest major road to your residence. Immigration uses it to come for their visit, if they visit, and no, Google maps is not always accurate enough for them to get to your exact residence, especially in compounds with multiple buildings.Joseph ****

Google maps is not accurate enough, but a hand drawn map is? Wow interesting. I guess I will try to draw it then.Activity
