Immigration just charged me 1000B for home vist.. I just returned for Partum Thani immigration to extended my NON O imm visa based on marriage... as it's my first marriage extension immigration officer explained to my Thai wife that all new marriage extension will have a home vist within 7 days... we have no problems what's for ever with a home vist as I haven't got anything to fear... when my appreciation was checked I was given a slip to return in 30 days for the final stamp.. I was then told to report to the pay desk to pay my 1900B extension fee which I had a receipt, then I was asked for 1000B for the home vist fee I asked my wife to get a receipt for the 1000B which immigration officer didn't reply...
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user was charged a 1000B fee for a home visit related to their first extension of a NON-O visa based on marriage. Despite having paid a 1900B extension fee, they were asked for this additional fee without a receipt. Comments from the community reveal mixed experiences regarding home visits and associated fees, with some users stating they were never asked to pay anything for home visits, while others raised concerns about potential corruption and the necessity of such charges. There seems to be inconsistency in policies between different immigration offices in Thailand.
