Hi all, I will apply for an extension of stay on my marriage visa, but since my passport expires in 8 months I need to move the visa to a new passport, I need to update my Kor Ror 2 with the new passport details as part of the process, what are the correct steps to follow and what documents do I need to update the KR2?

Answer summary

To apply for an extension of your marriage visa while transferring to a new passport, it's crucial to renew your passport first, as this impacts the validity of the visa extension. Without a new passport, the extension will only be granted up to the expiration of the current passport. You will need a fresh copy of the Thai Marriage Registration Details (Kor Ror 2), but it does not need to be updated right away. Make sure to gather all necessary documents for when you do apply for the extension.

if you apply for an extension before renewing your passport then you don't need to worry about transfering it as it will just expire at the same time as your passport. The extension is for 1 year or to the expiry date of your passport so I would renew it first.

Get a new passport before you do your extension or you will only get 8 months extension of stay.

Mark Silverwood go for a new passport now and then worry about documents later as it varies from immigration offices and also there's changes happening as we speak

If using your current passport your extension will be up to its expiry date , you then apply for another extension when you get issued with your new passport

No, your Thai Marriage Registration Details ( คร.2 ) from a local District Office (Amphur/Khet Office) does NOT need to be updated, but a Fresh Copy is needed

Get a New Passport/Renewal Passport BEFORE applying for a New Extension of Stay

otherwise, an Extension will only be granted up to the Expiration (validity) of the current Passport
