These are a couple of updates on the marriage based extension here in Phuket, done myself yesterday, April 2024.

1. The updated Koror 2 marriage doc is now 60 days old max. It used to be 180 days.

2. The GPS coordinates are now required on the hand drawn map (that shows how to get from the IO to your residence).

3. In addition to the spouse, the rest of the dependents (if any) now need to be in all the photos.

4. The IO objected to printed passport pages from a scanned file. Wanted actual sharp photocopies, even if B/W. Portrait orientation, not landscape.

Arrived at 8:30 AM, left at 3:00 PM with the under 30 consideration stamp. Seemed to be a tad easier than the previous extensions. No questions as to how the 400k arrived at the bank, a little over 2 months ago. No dreaded income questions, tax questions, or other scary stuff. Check with your local IO office, as the above was for Phuket. Good luck!

Hello. For a retirement visa extension, do all the dependents need to be at immigration? Specifically the spouse that is the defendant? US passport in CM.
