ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Everyone, I am currently on a Spouse visa and I am looking at extending again for another year this month. This is my first extension and I want to handle it myself without agent. I only have one question. Do I need to do something special with the marriage certificate? Like have it legalized somewhere or just anything? The certificate is a Thai certificate as I married here in chiang-mai. This is also where I will apply for the extension.

Many thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is on a Spouse Visa in Thailand and is seeking guidance on whether specific actions are needed regarding their Thai marriage certificate for a visa extension. Comments suggest that the user must return to the Amphur office to obtain a letter confirming their marriage is still valid, referred to as Kor Ror 2, which is necessary for the extension application. The marriage certificate does not require legalization, but confirming its validity at the Amphur office is essential.

Just to add some clarity for everyone

IF you're married INSIDE thailand you get two marriage certificates

The Kor Ror 2 (ค.ร.๒) like a form all in thai

AND

The rose bordered suitable for framing 😛 Kor Ror 3 (ค.ร.๓)

A lot of offices are wanting people to get a new Kor Ror 2 every year, because you can only get one of those IF you're still married 😛

You get the one on the left printed at any Amphur for 20 baht. It doesn't have to be the one you were married at 🙂

Every year when you apply for extension of stay based on marriage to Thai you have to go back to the district (Amphoe) office with your marriage certificate and get letter of verification.

From what you are stating is that you are on a NON O Married to Thai National visa.

Is that the case?

If not, what exact visa do you hold?

Is this marriage registered in a Thai district office, known as “Amphur” or “Khet”?

Yes of course. In Chiang Mai Amphur and I have the documents they gave me back then. I'm just wondering whether I need to go someplace to have them legalize the documents again? As in confirming they are still real for immigration? This is the question I am asking.

If you possess a NON O Married to a Thai National visa, you will likely need to get a confirmation that your REGISTERED marriage is still valid.

Contact Chiang Mai Immigration and ask if they require this document…a Kor Ror 2.

Which is highly likely.

Yes I have that visa now. So do you know where in Chiang Mai I have to go for this proof that the marriage is still valid? I have Kor Ror 1, 2 and 3 as they were given to me on the day I married.

No, I do not know where in CM, only in Chiang Rai. Perhaps someone else here has that information.

I assume you are referring to the rose bordered document, which you will need copies of, but which is separate from the yearly confirmation of a valid marriage.

Are you married to a Thai? Thai certificate should be fine as long as your name matches.

Yes I am married and have the Thai Certificate in thai language. But I mean that is just a paper. I feel like I need to go to some office to have them confirm that the marriage is still real? Or am I overcomplicating it?

take a look here for the general requirements but always best to ask the local immigration office for their requirements as they can differ. You want #18

Thanks I have that overview but I am still unsure about whether I need to 'legalize' anything or is this only the first time?
