Hi

My marriage visa is due 11th November so I was going to go next week to avoid any queues next month. Korat.

Has anything changed from last year.

Will the visa amnesty effect my renewal.

I will go the day before I take my wife and check the paper work but thought I would ask you guys too

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the renewal process for their marriage visa set to expire on November 11th, specifically in Korat. They ask if there have been any changes compared to the previous year and express concern about how the visa amnesty might affect their renewal. Responses indicate that the renewal process remains largely unchanged, though there may be variations in requirements at different immigration offices. A commenter noted a potential increase in the number of required photos from 3 to 5, highlighting the importance of confirming requirements prior to their visit.

I'm going to close this post. If anyone from Korat have experience with this, please send a message to a mod and we'll reopen commenting.

Ok guys. Thanks for your help. Looks like not much has changed. Will post what was needed after my visit Thursday. Thanks again.

A quick remember... the OP is asking about Korat. Different immigration offices do have slightly different policies. If you didn't get an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national in Korat, your experience may be different.

yep.

I’ve done it 5 times in phuket and this will be the third in korat.

Phuket is more paper work. They want 2 copies of everything. Korat only 1.

But korat is definitely quicker.

Phuket was always full but probably not now.

To my knowledge, nothing has changed to get a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national.
