For Chaengwattana immigration, does anyone know 1) What format of family pictures with Thai wife are needed for a Non-O visa extension (Thai Spouse). Do they have to be printed on photopaper or does it have to be colored or B&W printed on normal paper? 2) Can the map just be google maps with condo circled?

I've been trying to apply for a 60 day visa from the uk,when I get to UPLOAD BIODATA nothing happens,it let's me upload a recent photo its doing my head in 🙉🤣am I missing something,thanks in advance for any help 🙏

Switching work to spouse extension

Hi all, I'm changing my 'reason to stay in Thailand' from employment to Thai spouse. Had my WP and previous extension cancelled yesterday. I'm now on a 3-week extension which is apparently intended to give me time to either make new arrangements, or leave. It ends February 18th.

Been reading various sources on getting the spouse extension because I want to do this right. But I have a few questions.

1. I read that it takes 3 weeks to receive a decision on the spouse extension. I also read that to accommodate this time, I'll get a new stamp granting either 30 or 45 days at the application date if my paperwork seems in order. I am currently already on an extension that aims to accommodate new arrangements, but it's only 20 days. It just feels a little odd to me if I get yet another stamp with such purpose again, but it seems that I do need the extra time. Is this indeed what happens? Or should we apply asap?

2. We took photos in normal everyday clothes (shorts, t-shirt) to show how we live. Found a source later that we should have dressed more formally. Seems a little odd to me because we really just show how we live, as they request, so why would we wear clothes that we normally don't? Should we retake the pics? Appreciating your viewpoints.

3. Applying at Cheangwatthana immigrations. Taking the whole family, who prefer going in the afternoon. Any recommendations on the time to go? Been reading varying recommendations. If necessary I could go early myself to get a queue and have them come later.

4. Looking at the future: if I get this extension approved now, and I'm not in Thailand next year around this time, am I right that I can't extend it and need to do a non-O at an embassy?

FYI just come back from CW to pick up my non o extension based on marriage. I hadn't been asked to keep the 400k in the account until now (although I did) and was never asked to show the funds today, I tried to show them but they waved the bank book away.

I was asked however, to get a new photo taken this morning and then complained as it looked like the one they had already.

Hello, I'm just finishing my online application in uk for an METV and it states you need to send in a photo of yourself with other paperwork.

Can anyone confirm if this can just be a print out of a photo from a file on the computer (like uploaded onto online application or does it have to be an official passport style photo done in a booth / at a photo studio?

Many thanks

Will be applying for my 60 day visa in Hanoi next week, think I have all documents, how many pictures do they need. Oh and can post address make sure I have correct one, as someone said they changed offices last year.. Thanks in advance..

I need to extend/renew my non-o marriage visa.

Can it be the same

Photos we used last year or do we need to make new ones? Quite tricky when wifey leaves house at 6 and comes back at 7.... 🤷‍♀️
