What documentation is required for a one-year extension on a 90-day visa in Thailand?

@Ken *******

all good thanks mate.

@Nongnuch *******

last reply..

Let's simplify this.

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.

@Nongnuch *******

"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.

You got your wires crossed somehow.

@Nongnuch *******

even the link you provided agrees with me, because that's how it is

@Nongnuch *******

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)

@Nongnuch *******

because the khor ror 22 is ONLY needed when you married outside Thailand. I am out. Feel free to argue. But you are wrong.

@Nongnuch *******

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.

@Mikkel ******

the Thai Amphoe will NOT certify a foreign marriage. Only the embassy and the MfA will

@Nongnuch *******

so again.. And last time.. Khor ror 22 is ONLY requires if your marriage was done abroad/outside Thailand. For everyone else it is a khor ror 2.

@Nongnuch *******

from your own link:

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.

@Nongnuch *******

you are right though. To be able to get a khor ror 22, your marriage certificate etc from another country first have to be legalized in the MfA

@Nongnuch *******

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.

@Nongnuch *******

front side of the freshly printed one from ampheur. Again if you can read thai it clearly say khor ror 2

@Nongnuch *******

backside of my rose border marriage certificate. If you can read thai you can see it say khor ror 3

@Nongnuch *******

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.

@Mikkel ******

You should be able to SENSE that something in your explanations can't be correct. Since when does a Thai Amphoe certify foreign marriages? %20Marriage%20Visa%20Requirements&text=This%20is%20substantiated%20through%20a,and%20obtain%20Kor%20Ror%2022.

@Nongnuch *******

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

@Mikkel ******

that's what I am saying - the rose bordered marriage certificate is no proof that the marriage stills exists. Only the Kor Ror 22 is

@Mikkel ******

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
