if I renew my non-immigrant O visa (marriage) in Phuket and a few weeks later we move to another province, do we only do a TM30 in that other district or do we have to redo the entire immigration process?
Thank you
Answer summary
When renewing your non-immigrant O visa (marriage) in Phuket, it's crucial to wait until you receive the year extension before moving to another province. Post-renewal, you'll get a 30-day stamp and need to return to the same immigration office within that time to get the permanent extension. If you do move before receiving the inked extension, you must still return to complete that process. After moving, you will only need to file a TM30 for your new address and continue with the 90-day reporting at your new local immigration office.

As always, your answer is very clear, Tod! Thank you so much 👏
Remember, when you apply for a year extension based on marriage to a Thai national you get a 30-day under consideration stamp and you have to go back to that immigration office 30 days later to get the year extension inked in.
And there's a good chance that they could do a home visit during that under consideration. As well.
So I wouldn't pick up and move provinces until you get the year extension inked in (or of you do move know you have to go back to get that year inked in when the u/c stamp runs down)
Then once you do move all you file is a TM 30 and then start doing your 90-day reporting at the office that serves the area where you live and then the following year apply for your extension through them.
