I’m a U.S. Passport holder. Went to Bangkok Immigration (MTT counter K) today to get my 60 Visit Thai family extension (married to Thai wife) from an expired Visa Exempt Stamp that expires April 12th 2020.  Just wanted to share my experience.

I started the process with an online queue appointment. Not entirely sure if it is mandatory but I did it to be safe.  Check in and document check was quite fast. After I went back down to apply for the extension. I will note that I had to transfer my last stamp as I had received a new passport just before amnesty. This process took the longest. After this I went back to see the IO to process the extension. This is what they asked for in terms of documents.

) Passport

) copy of passport information page

) copy of visa Stamp page

) copy of TM. 6

) TM. 7 with picture 4x6cm

) form of acknowledgement of terms and conditions for permit of temporary stay in Thailand (stm.2)

) the acknowledgment of penalties of overstay form 

) copy of marriage license and copy of marriage registration (kor ror 2 and 3)

) Tm.30 

) copy of wife’s Tabien Baan 

) copy of wife’s Thai ID

) copy of rental contract (we rent a condo)

) 1900 THB

Waiting time after was about 10 minutes and then IO assistant gave my passport back to me with a stamp that is valid until Nov. 25th.  Pretty easy process all in all and everyone at MTT counter K site couldn’t be nicer. 

Also I’d like to thank Everyone at Thai Visa Advice for all of the help. This is an extremely important page that is really helpful to anyone seeking advice or looking for information that could help them. I’d actually be quite lost without checking this site daily. Thank you to the admins and keep it going!💪🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

@Tommy *********

the letter from the embassy is only if you are applying for the 30 day embassy request extension stating you can't travel due to covid-19..

no letter from the embassy if your marriage is registered in Thailand.

and here's someone who also got a 60 day extension today

@Ni***

and theirs was valid until Nov 25.

Plain and simple you were stamped wrong :( There is no "up to each immigration office" they all have to follow the amnesty decree that states extensions granted during amnesty start on the 27th of Sept

My marriage cert is from my home country (Singapore), as we got married there and not in thailand, I have not got a marriage cert in Thailand, would I be able to apply for this with all the relevant documents and also using my marriage cert from Singapore ?

@Caleb ****

you need to talk to your immigration offifce, they might want the marriage certificate stamped by your embassy here OR they might want you to register the thai marriage abroad at the local Amphur with the Kor Ror 22 form

Thank you for that detailed review of how it went, AND Congrats that you got the extension AND that it was issued as starting from the 27th of Sept <- which would take you to the 25th of Nov.
