TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your 90-day visa to a one-year extension in Thailand, you typically need to provide certain documentation to your local immigration office. This includes a minimum of 400,000 THB in your bank account for at least two months prior to application or a monthly income of 40,000 THB for the past 12 months. Additional required documents may include your marriage certificate, updated proof of marriage, copies of all pages of your passport, photos with your spouse in your home, a bank letter, bank statements, and a hand-drawn map of your residence. Different immigration offices may have varying requirements, so it's advised to check directly with your local office.

Can anyone advise on my situations please...I'm new to all this although been coming back and fore from UK for 10 years...last year I decided to take the plunge and have rented out my property in UK long term...I am currently on a retirement visa expiring Feb 25 arranged through an agent and via Pattaya immigration...what are my financial requirements in bank to produce to immigration for the 2nd year..i have had 1 million thb in my bank account over this year,but it has now dwindled and will be next to nothing come February as we have purchased a house outright for 2.5 m... I don't want to have to put another 800k in this year if I can avoid it as my investments in UK are stronger than being in Thailand bank. Can I do it through an agent again the same as last year or are things different now....many thanks for any responses
it's my long term partner name..her investment for future after my days..she has a thriving holiday let and b& b at her other house and I wanted somewhere else t stay that was comfortable for my needs
What you typically need is minimum 400K baht in the bank for two months before applying. In an account in your name only.
You also need:
Your Thai marriage certificate (the one with the rose borders.)
Updated kor ror 2 (certificate from ampheur, that states you are still married.
Copy of all pages in your passport with something on it.
Photos of you and wife inside and outside the house. They typically want to see you in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, outside, on the street in front with a visible house number.
I am just trying to imagine, that if the guy and his Thai wife already divorced 3 years ago, he would still use this "rose bordered marriage certificate" as proof of marriage. That's why it is not accepted by Immigration. The freshly printed "Kor Ror 22" of the Amphoe is the more actual proof that the marriage still exists
Allow me to correct: he doesn't need the "Kor Ror 2" (which is the rose bordered marriage certificate). However, he needs a freshly up-to-date "Kor Ror 22", which is the marriage registry printout by the Amphoe
most immigration offices require to see both the khor ror 3 (rose border certificate) and an updated certificate khor ror 2 to see you are still married. Because you could be divorced and just keep the khor ror 3.
no you are still mistaken. The rose border is NOT khor ror 2. It is Khor ror 3. The updated one you get from ampheur is the khor ror 2 if you got married inside Thailand. The khor ror 22 is ONLY for if you got married OUTSIDE Thailand
If you where married OUTSIDE Thailand, then yes, you need to get your marriage legalized through your embassy and then MfA in Thailand before you can go to ampheur and get a khor ror 22, because it doesn't apply to marriage done inside Thailand.
If you married INSIDE Thailand, you will never need, and can never get, a khor ror 22.
On the other hand, if you married OUTSIDE Thailand, you cannot get a khor ror 2, because you need a khor ror 22 for marriage registration from abroad.
But lets assume that the marriage was done INSIDE Thailand.
In that case all you need is for your Thai spouse go to the ampheur with their ID card to obtain a khor ror 2, which is the regular marriage registration document for marriage INSIDE Thailand. Cost is 20 baht. No need to legalize at an embassy or MfA for use inside Thailand.
The original rose border marriage certificate you got when you got married INSIDE Thailand is a khor ror 3.
I do this every year for 8 years in a row now.
If you married inside Thailand you need a khor ror 2. 22 is not for you then.
"Mikkel Kruse the Thai Amphoe will NOT certify a foreign marriage. Only the embassy and the MfA will" no embassy or the MfA can issue a khor ror 22. Only the ampheir can. For them to do that, you need to have married OUTSIDE THALAND. And the ampheur requires the embassy of that country and MfA of Thailand to legalize the documents first.
just see the photos I uploaded. It clearly say khor ror 3 (the actial marriage certificate with the rose border) and khor ror 2 (the marriage registration from ampheur)
yes, that need to happen before you can get a khor ror 22. If married inside Thailand you need a khor ror 2. The 22 is not possible to get for a marriage inside Thailand.
This is substantiated through a Marriage Certificate (Kor Ror 3) and Marriage Registration (Kor Ror 2). If you had married abroad, either you or your spouse must report the marriage to the District Office (Amphur or Khet) and obtain Kor Ror 22.
btw I just got both khor ror 2 and 3 legalized at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in bangkok. You don't seem to understand that the khor ror 22 is ONLY for registering a marriage in Thailand after you got married outside Thailand. A marriage outside Thailand IS accepted and can be registered inside Thailand. A khor ror 22 is what you need then.
I really don't care what you think. I have a khor ror 2 rigt in front of me. It is freshly printed from the ampheur. It is the updated certificate you get when you are married inside Thailand. If you got married outside Thailand, and register your marriage in Thailand after, a khor ror 22 is what you need in stead of a khor ror 2.
the Kor Ror 22 is the up-to-date marriage registry printout, it supersedes Kor Ror 3 and Kor Ror 2 as a proof that the marriage still exists. Maybe your Amphoe does it differently - This is Thailand were some things never are logical
you are mistaken. I have copies right here as I have just used them. The rose border marriage certificate is a khor ror 3. The one you get from ampheur that cerifies you are still married is a khor ror 2. I am looking at them right now.

Different Immigration offices have different requirements. Your office will have a list.
