I am a Canadian citizen who received 60 days when I arrive at the airport. I would like to apply Non O for retirement and I live in Samut prakan. May I know where do I apply Non O. Do I have to apply at Cheng Wattana Office or Samut Prakan Immigration for Non O? Thank you.

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.

Hi, this might help anyone going to the Samut Prakan immigration office for a one-year extension based on retirement (probably an extension based on marriage too)

Without using an agent, which I never do, I got the one year retirement extension plus multiple re-entry permit in about 80 minutes yesterday. The process was very smooth and would've been even quicker had I not had to validate a screenshot of the TM30 on the second floor. The TM30 screenshot (from the online website) is important to the Samut Prakan office and you also need it for the re-entry permit, so make TWO copies. When you order your bank letter, get the bank to give you a 12-month printout of all your transactions (that was 20 pages for me) The Samut Prakan office really like those printouts and I got a thumbs up from the officer yesterday. The office wasn't that busy on a Thursday morning either.

Has anybody been to the immigration office in Samut Prakan within the last week or two? It has evidently moved from Bang Pli to Pak Nam but there is some conflicting information. Thanks so much!

Does anyone know the new address of Samut Prakan immigration office?

I was told at the government complex to go there for my visa extension.

I know they announced they were changing addresses so I don't know if the one of google maps or the one on their website is the correct one.

If anyone has recent experience with tourist visa extension there please let me know some tips and tricks and what to avoid.

Does the first 90 day report on a non b visa based on employment at a school need be done in person or can it be done online. I live in Samut Prakan, so use that office.

Is there an immigration office near Suvarnabhumi Airport to get a 30-day extension stamp? Thanks.

Hi

I am on a tourist visa and I've already extended once, that my initial 90 days is ending this week.

I would like to know that can I enjoy the Covid exemption (if I went the immigration this week)?

If so, can I do it in Samut Prakan Immigration?

(Sharing similar case from Samut Prakan is highly appreciated)

Thanks.

Hello

Where to apply covid extension for visa exemption on Samut Prakan?

I want to do it on my own right at the immigration office.

Recent application for yearly Extension of Non-Immigrant "O" based on Marriage from SAMUT PRAKAN. (Your experience may vary)

Due to my own disorganisation, I got the dates wrong for my 2 months seasoning of 400k, so it fell on the 24th July, a Saturday, the same day as my yearly extension ran out. ( A bit dull I know)

I went on Wednesday the 23rd to ask and they said "no problem" just come back on the first day open (Monday was a holiday) so Tuesday 27th.

Arrived about 10.00am with letter from bank, and bank statements, and slip showing a withdrawal that same day (withdrawal slip handed back).

Gave them the usual documents (see below):

Required Documents For A One Year Extension Based Upon Marriage

These are general requirements and may vary at different offices.

Unless you are applying at Bangkok you will need 2 sets of copies attached to 2 TM7 Application.forms.

Proof of 400k baht in the bank for 2 months by way of a letter from your bank and your bank book or 40k baht income proven by an income letter from your embassy. (They also asked me to photocopy every page of my Bank Book - signed)

Copies of your passport photo page and every page that has any stamp or visa for Thailand on it (signed)

Copy of TM6 departure card (both sides - signed).

Marriage certificate and an updated Kor Ror 2 marriage registry (Kor Ror 22 for foreign marriages). (We got an updated KR 22 from Samut Prakan the previous week)

Copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card (both sides) - signed by wife.

Map to your residence from the nearest main road or street.

Proof of residence if not living where your wife's house book is for. Some offices may want witnesses when you apply.

Photos of you and your wife in and around the house. One must show you both with the house number shown in it. The number of photos needed varies by office. (Had two outside (one showing house number), two in the lounge, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom (Signed by both of us).

Office was busy for Myanmar etc workers waiting outside but not many "farangs". Wait was only about 10-15 minutes to get seen.

Service, was "brisk" or "curt" rather friendly. But professional. Female IO mentioned to my wife that I seemed in a bad mood - I was gonna ask if she was married too and that would be the answer but thought better of it ;-)

Asked me for a copy of my 90 day reporting - I told her "I do it online" - she then said "Can you print one?" - I answered "Where?" - she then seemed to forget about it. Might be an idea to take a copy just in case.

Paid my 1900 baht, then I was asked to make two photo copies of the receipt.

Got a stamp (under consideration until 23rd Aug) no red squiggles about being late, just a stamp saying "closed for holiday" or something.

Same day got a call from an IO they are not visiting the house (due to C-19) and arranged a video call (Line) for this morning 9am.

IO contacted us via Line just after 9am and we walked around the house, they called my number whilst on the Line video to my wife - to check it was me. Got Moo Baan security guard in the pics and his ID card and phone number. Quite hard doing "screenshots" whilst on your phone - make sure your wife or you have long arms!

So overall not a bad experience.

PLEASE NOTE - whilst in Immigration I saw at least 3 people told they had to leave Thailand or change visa. They would not be given another C-19 extension! One said "My wife and children are here"...the IO replied - "Get the correct visa then".

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
