For those interested, Korat Immigration is open on Saturday from 9am until 12 noon. I went today and there was only one other foreigner there at 9:30am. I extended my 'admitted until' stamp on my multiple entry non-immi O visa (based on marriage to a Thai national) and was granted a further 60 days before I need to border bounce. Refreshments are available from a motorcycle vendor who is also there during the week. Now for the technical stuff, the list of documents required are as follows.....

Original Documents:

Passport

Marriage certificate (Kor Ror 2 & 3)

Wife's ID card

TM 6 (Departure Card)

TM 7 (Application for extension of stay)

TM 30 (Name is too bloody long to write the full title) 

You will need signed copies of.....

Passport Biodata page (the page with your photo on it)

Visa page

'Admitted Until' stamp page

TM 6

TM 30

Rental contract signed by your landlord

Landlord's ID card with his/her signature

Ta Bien Baan of the rental property if it's not in the contract

Wife's ID card

Wife's Ta Bien Baan

Marriage certificates (both kor ror 2 & 3)

You can get photocopies done at immigration as well as the TM 7, however, I like to have all this done beforehand so I'm in & out as quick as possible. The staff were extremely friendly (even relaxed) which was a bonus, but, be aware Korat immigration is very strict when it comes to having all the aforementioned documents. Hope this is of some help to any & all group members using Korat immigration.

I have a 12 month multiple entry non immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. I extended my 'admitted until' stamp so as to avoid having to border bounce. The only extension available is 60 days based on my marriage. If I was attempting to extend a Tourist visa or a visa exempt entry, I would only receive a 30 day extension. I've not heard of a 90 day extension on a non immigrant O visa based on marriage.

What’s marriage cert Kor Ror 2 &3? Can you also apply for marriage visa there? Do you have to show how much money also?

The Kor Ror 3 is the marriage certificate issued with the flowery border & the Kor Ror 2 is the transcript of the Kor Ror 3 (evidence you are still married). There are a lot of steps involved in getting a non immigrant O visa based on marriage. It's best to contact your local Amphur 1st and ask what documents they require as what's required differs from Amphur to Amphur.
