ORIGINAL POSTERJust went to Chaengwattana for my visa Extension based on Marriage
They requested a few things in addition to the requirements listed in the handy summary (attached):
1. Photocopy of ALL pages of Bank Passbook, not only the final page with the current date line item
1. Photocopy of all previous marriage visa extensions in your passport
1. 2 color copies (not 1) of family photos (wife was gently scolded for wearing shorts in the photos and told to avoid it next year 🫡)
1. STM2 form - "Acknowledgement of Staying in Thailand" ([members only])
1. Form "Acknowledgement of Overstay Penalty" ([members only])
The appointment system is a godsend! The process only took 15 minutes as a result. [members only]

Actually, those acknowledgments and a statement are not new. I/Os have been using those kinds of forms for several years now.
