What should I do if I'm delayed in getting my marriage visa extension due to my property owner not providing required documents?
having delays in getting my marriage visa extension, because my property owner is procrastinating in providing documents.
Specifically, the proof of purchase or chanote for the property I'm living in. We provided everything else, tabien baan Ids etc. but IO (jomtien) said we need this too, was otherwise happy with my application.
A bit concerned as owner/agent is not responsive to me after days. Wondering what my options are if they don't provide it before my visa expiry in start of may, obviously songkran means immigration is closed next week too.
If i leave the country in May can I get another non-o 90 day (thai spouse) then re-enter?
My lease expires soon so could potentially move to another property that's could be more helpful. A bit stressful overall, any help appreciated thanks.

Answer summary
The user is facing delays in their marriage visa extension process due to a lack of documentation from their property owner, specifically the proof of ownership of the property. They are concerned about their visa expiration in early May, especially with the immigration office being closed during Songkran. Comments from the community suggest options like checking land ownership at the local office, leaving the country to apply for a new Non-O visa, or considering a 60-day extension based on visiting Thai family. Additionally, users mentioned potential alternative routes like switching to a retirement visa for those over 50.

If u r 50 or over consider switching to a straight Non-O retirement. A lot less hassles.

not old enough yet, did consider DTV but then you have to leave the country every 6 months which is annoying.Lee *******
Is it not possible to go to the land office and find out who owns the land as first step?
Paul **************
OPAh I didn't now this was an option, can you get a copy of information on file there i wonder? maybe this would satisfy them assuming it matches the leasors information.

How to check land ownership in Thailand:Visit the local Land Office
You must go to the Provincial or District Land Office where the land is located. Only certain people are permitted to request this info:
The landowner
Someone with power of attorney
A person with a legitimate legal interest (e.g., buyer, heir)
Provide Details Youโll need:
The land title deed number (เนเธเธเธเธเธตเนเธเธดเธ)
The name of the landowner (if you know it)
The land plot number and location

OPThanks will give it a go after songkran if they haven't coughed up the doc by then, cheers

OPah thanks thought that might be the case, my wife suspected we'd need permission. Big shame though I could really do without having to do an annoying visa run for no real reason.

@Paul *************
Looks like that is a non-starter for youLee *******
Local to me but sure all the same. Good luck.

You could opt to apply first for the 60 day Extension of Stay based on visiting Thai Family to get more time, if you office agree.
Paul **************
OPI guess i could ask at the office for clarity, thanks for help.

, That sounds strange. You might get some other reasons. There are a lot of people in Bangkok who get a 60-day visit Thai family extension, then a Thai spouse extension and they are rather standard than exceptional. Those were already on entry on a Non-O visa marriage to a Thai or extension for the same reason, though.Bart **************
@Ellie ******
I really have different info friends. And it's straight from immi, I don't make this up.Robert *******
@Bart *************
again, rules do not exist when it is hear say.Show us the proof that you can NOT get a 1 year Extension of Stay after you got a 60 day Extension of Stay based on visiting Thai family.
I understand your story as the Extension of Stay "60 day friends and family Extension" does not exist and therefore can not be issued.
It is a common practice when the foreigner did not have time enough to deposit his money into his account, to gain extra time, first the 60 days based on visiting Thai family than the 1 year.
Bart **************
@Robert ******
I didn't get different info at any point in time. You cannot extend a 60 day friends and family extension to the 'normal' one year marriage extension; that's what immigrations told me several times, when getting the 60 days and also when stubbornly still trying to get the one year. And I've not been told differently by anyone else before, even in this very group. I don't know what's the matter with all of you but we're giving some very bad advice to a person here. Only someone (that's you Robert) told me about the existence of exceptions to the aforementioned rule. Hence also my attempt.Robert *******
@Bart *************
So first you tell "ร've tried" than it becomes you have different info from friends to end with you have this info straight from the Immigration.As you switch every time to make a point, I would say share this direct information from Immigration, the Police Order as that is the only correct way.
Not I have tried, i hear from friends or I talked with the cleaner of the office and now I tell you the law changed.
Paul **************
OP@Robert ******
I did think about this yes, as I have heard of it, thanks. Not too many details about though, not sure if Jomtien will ok it can ask. Guessing you can still do the non-o year extension during the additional 60 days?
Brandon ************
@Paul *************
yes, you can do the normal 1 year extension after.Bart **************
@Brandon ***********
Bangkok immigrations. Afaik it's generally not allowed but sometimes they make exceptions.Brandon ************
@Bart *************
then that would've been your local immigration. Because it's generally allowed.Bart **************
@Paul *************
careful, you can't do that. I've tried, it was a clear no (and it was also clear to me upfront that it would be a no; I tried cause I had to but I knew better).Bart **************
@Brandon ***********
no, you cannot extend the 1-year based on marriage after the 60 day visiting family extension.Paul **************

thanks thatโs really helpful to know

yep you could leave the country, get a Non-O from a thai consulate come back in and then go for the year extension for 1900baht
OR
leave the country, come back in free stamp entry (60 day visa exempt), apply for the in country 90 day Non-O at the immigration office for 2000baht, wait the 2 weeks it goes under review, go back get it inked in, wait 2 months and apply for the year extension for 1900baht

Thanks helpful, yeah the exempt then change to the non-o does give more time. I did get looked over a bit at suvarnabhumi last time when entering (on non-o), I had come back quick (straight after 12 day honeymoon), after having an exempt then 30 day extension before.No entries for 6 months before that though as we had been in the UK.
I'll most likely go out with wife if I need to leave, and come back together, hopefully they wouldn't have an issue giving me another exempt on return? It's easier as I don't have to apply abroad.
