Marriage Visa: Is it required that the 400K Baht needs to be sent from a foreign bank, and do you need a certificate from bank that the money has been transferred from a foreign account?

How long do I need to wait before I can spend this 400K Baht "after" I've already got the 1 year extension?

Why do people do Boarder Runs ? Why not extend at immigration offices ? In Hua Hin it takes all day to do and obviously costs money with an agent so why not just spend 1500 baht and get it done locally. Am I missing something 🤷‍♂️

Hi All,

I want to apply for 30 day extension beyond my first 60 days here. I need to have my next host file a TM30 for me so I can get my extension approved by immigration office.

However, if the host does not file it for me, can I just bring proof of domicile (receipt with info) to the immigration office or does the host actually have to tile the form online for them to see it and approve me when I come in?

Thank you

Just a heads up for people with children who are applying for an extension...my husband and I just got our extensions yesterday but we brought our baby with us. The officials tell you that you do in fact need to extend for everyone, including babies. I'm assuming from what I've read on here, that it is technically required, although many people just don't do it because there is no fine up until about 14 years old. We didn't do it for our baby but may go back and do it, if it will cause problems down the line. Is it truly OK not to get baby an extension and then come back next year? If anyone is attempting this, I suggest not bringing the baby or child with you.

Hi all,

Been over two years since I left.

Originally entered on a TR visa (1/1/2020)

with a UK passport.

Stayed on covid extensions (until they stopped issuing them).

I remember on covid extensions you would loose days if you applied earlier than your expiry date on the extension stamp.

I cannot remember if that’s the case for ordinary extensions at immigration?

(60 days on arrival, TR visas etc).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, my son’s 30 day stamp expires 12th of august - it’s a public holiday. He needs to get 30 days more extension because he’s flying back to US 24th august. I wonder if they’ll give him 30 days more on 13th if his previous stamp expired already or does he have time fly out ?

In case it helps anyone. Samut Prakan immigration (which is now located in the newly rennovated Pak Nam office) accepts the following documents for 60 day extension based on marriage/family.

Copies of the following all signed and notorised:

- marriage certificate (in case of wife)

- birth certificate (in case of dependant/child)

- tambien baan of wife/dependant

- ID card of wife/dependant

- all passport pages with ID and stamps

-TM 30 Receipt of notification copy (make sure it's date-stamped from when you last entered the country, they flagged this with me and I got a telling off for not reporting 24 hours within entering the country)

-1900 baht

-wife/child in person as they want to take pictures of you as a couple/family

-passport photo for one of the three forms you have to fill out

Not needed contrary to other reports/offices:

* Kor ror 22, you don't need any copy of this, whether it is old or newly updated.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

APRIL HOLIDAY CLOSURES

# ALL Immigration offices in the country will be closed;

Monday April 8th

Friday April 12th

Monday April 15th

Tuesday April 16th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekend or holiday) AND you go the very next business day they're open you can get your extension like normal, not be fined for overstay. You WILL get an overstay stamp in your passport but it will say (overstay xxx days fine waived due to holiday)

BORDERS ARE OPEN LIKE NORMAL

Can a non-OA immigrant visa obtained in my home country only be extended for 1 year while in Thailand or can you keep getting extensions?

Also, can you purchase multiple entry?
