Hello everyone!

I’ve read that I need a “certified” copy of my wife’s passport and a letter to apply for a non-O here in chicago. I’ve had several before (issued in Laos, Cambodia, etc.) which never required anything “certified” to be submitted with the application. Oddly the Consulate-General in chicago doesn’t request that the copy of our marriage certificate be “certified”. Anyone have any experience with this? 

Secondary question: Has anyone been able to get an extension on a non-O marriage visa due to covid? Mine expired at the end of October. 

Thanks!

you don't need a certified copy, what you need (no matter how they have it worded) is a SIGNED copy of your wife's passport or thai i/d card. That's all they want.

As an American you apply for a visa using the E visa website, how it was in the past at different Consulates is not important. You also talk about an Extension of Stay which you apply for at an Immigration Office after you entered Thailand using this visa.

Total different things.
