I am a American extending my Thai non-immigrant visa. My Myanmar wife is on a spouse visa attached to mine so her's mus extend at the same time. We were married in Myanmar and we have all the OG documents and translations.

Thai immigration has asked for a copy of our marriage certificate translated to English and certified by the Myanmar Embassy. The Myanmar Embassy tells us they cannot do it, only in Myanmar.

Thai immigration wants a document certified by Myanmar saying we are married. Seems like we are certifying certifications. Any ideas?

Applied that in Myanmar. Took only a few days.

just a minor trip report from the yangon embassy... i wanted a single-entry non-b as my foundation's registration is in process. i had:

- sponsorship letter from my law firm, explaining whats in process

- copy of my retainer for the law firm

- all the usual business docs from the law firm

- my cv

- my financial info

- my flight/hotel details

- $80 USD

i walked in at 10am, no one in front of me, the lady at the window was very nice, friendly, understood what i was asking for and said she'd quickly check with the consul to make sure everything was in order... and it was. she took everything i brought except my flight/hotel stuff.

picked my non-b up the next day. in and out quickly, if one wanted to return to bangkok same day on the myanmar international to bkk at 4:40, thats totally possible. all in all a good experience.
