ORIGINAL POSTER
hi - I will soon apply for permission to stay 1 year based on my non-o based on marriage. I get a list of requirements from Udon Thani immi. I don't understand what they mean with "House Map". A drawing of the road and house? Including the houses of the neighbors? Anyone familiar with Udon Thani immi? thank you in advance (and yes I have asked immi but no answer yet)

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a non-O visa based on marriage in Udon Thani, the requirement for a 'House Map' can be confusing. It typically refers to a drawing or printout that illustrates how to get from the immigration office to your residence. Immigration offices may have different preferences—some may accept a simple Google Maps printout, while others prefer a hand-drawn representation indicating your house and nearby landmarks. It's advisable to bring both types of maps to accommodate various office requirements.

Something like this. Just main road to your house. Mark some locations nearby like

, school or temple. Photo from another website online.

I used to get away with that but last year they wanted it to go from house to immigration office. The immigration officer actually drew it for me, probably won't get away with that this year

not so easy to do when you're sitting in front of the IO at the time in the middle of applying for your extension 🤣🤣

I had to do the same ,a map from chainart imagration office, to my home ,which is 30 kilometers away,through a lot of small roads and village, we drove 3 times back and forth, also photo inside and out side of the house with you on them,

Chiang Rai office wanted hand-drawn only. And they did visit.

In CM they wanted a hand drawn sketch showing the position of the house in the Soi.. but also expected the adjoining roads that lead out of the estate to the main road (ie. the public road) to be marked.. i think the idea was for me to prove i understand how to navigate to my house.. though it's rather futile in this day and age with the advent of gps.. and imo it proves very little really.. apart from the fact that i can't draw for toffee.. lol 😂

it’s for immigration to visit your house if they want to and make sure you live there with your wife.

I doubt they need directions to find your address.. unless it's an overspill from 30+ years ago when gps technology didn't exist!

you obviously don’t understand addresses in Thailand

It varies greatly depending on the immigration office. Generally it's a map from the immigration office to your home.

Some offices want a Google maps printout, some offices want a hand drawn map. They can be very specific on this. I'd bring both just to be safe.

mine doesn't and if it's a hand drawn map it doesn't, just trying to cover all bases 👍
