What should I do if I cannot return to the immigration office on the date given for my marriage visa extension in Thailand?

I just did my extension based on marriage. It is under consideration. They gave me a date to come back for the final stamp . Problem is I will be in a different Province until 4 days after the date . Has anyone had any experience with this type of issue ?

Hello I would like to ask something about marriage visa or Non-O. I just got married last month and he’s going to study in Thailand next month with Student visa… so can I also apply Non-O to stay with him? If anyone has any idea how I can stay except with TR?

. You can get an "accompany spouse " O visa. But he needs to obtain his ED visa first and you will need paperwork from his school to get yours.

Wouldn't worry too much about it.

You also need to look out for them wanting to do a home visit. Speak to them

don't think that necessarily precludes them wanting to come again.

The date on the consideration slip is basically a temporary extension. If you do not return on that date you'll be on overstay. You definitely should have talked to them when you were applying, but now you need to go back and see if there is anything they can do. Sometimes they can move the date up a few days or sometimes back a few days. Sometimes they will say "change your plans and return on the date if you want to stay in Thailand"

You’ll have to go ask them. Some offices may be flexible others may not.
