ORIGINAL POSTERHi, I'm upgrading my 90 day non o visa to the 11 month marriage one. Immigration officer is coming to my house in an hour, what happens if I can't find a witness in time (had multiple people bail on me 😅)
Update: mother-in-law's friend made it in time. Immigration officer was really chill.

Don't mean to be harsh with this answer 😕 ,
BUT
I guess you'll find out in an hour 😮
I mean not much you can do, talk to them once they show up, believe me if it's a BIG problem they'll let you know

we used our mooban security guard for the first home visit when we moved to HH during Covid in 2021. As long as he agrees and has his Thai ID card on him, it should work.Tod *********
Just wait it out and see what the officer says, you can't be the first foreigner in the history of 'home visits' that has had this happen.
