What documents are needed to renew my NON-O visa extension in Bangkok, and how should I prepare for it?

if you are renting the condo you will also need your lease, with the name of the condo on it, a copy of the owners Thai ID card, and a copy of the house book he is listed in. Lots of original leases do not have the condo name on it, so you must get one with the property name and address on it. This can take time to get. The rest is pretty much the same, wife's ID card copy, the copy of the house book she's listed in, copy of your passport, and entry stamp, visa, and extensions. A current passport photo to go on the application, and they do check past photos used to check if it is a new one. The hand drawn map, and outside pictures with both of you in them, are basically so if they decide to make a visit during your 30 day under consideration, they can find it and by the pictures know they have the right location. They like a picture of both in front showing the property, at the doorway if you have to enter a hallway to get to your condo, a picture showing the room number, and two different pictures inside, and all pictures must have both of you in them. If you get to Chaing Wattana and in the queue before 7:30am, they open at 8:30am, you should be finished before noon. If you get there about 6:30am, or before 7am, you should be done before 10am, if all your documents are in order. There are two sets of queues. One when you get there before they open, and another when you are let inside, go straight through to the next door then go to the counter straight ahead on the right, and get your L-1 section queue number. It is real good to go there long before time with your wife and get their list of documents, and her with so they can tell her about the documents not on the list. You can now extend it up to 45 days before your current extension expires, as of Sept. 4th. It was just 3 days before, but they have now went back to the 45vday timeframe.

and it can't be "selfie" style photos, they'll turn you away.

you BOTH have to be in the pics, so get someone to take it of you two with the name of the condo and then standing in front of the door with the number on it and then you two inside

@Canice *****

you don't ever renew a a visa 😮 What you are doing is applying for a year extension of stay based on marriage to a thai and you do that out at Chaengwattana Immigrations Section L-1. You'll apply, pay the 1900baht and you get a 30 day under consideration stamp. Then when that runs out you go back to Chaengwattana with your passport to Section L-2 and they will ink the year extension in.

I believe so assuming you aren’t doing it through business at the one stop shop.
