So, I messed up. My non-O visa runs out on November 7th and while I have been otherwise approved for a 1-year marriage visa extension, I don't have any pages left in my passport.

Okay, I actually have 3 pages left, but they all say "Endorsements" in tiny letter on the side of the page and apparently you can't use those for visas...despite two countries already using half of one of those pages for visa stamps...regardless today Thai immigration told me they can't use them.

Am I screwed? The US Embassy website seems to say that a lack of pages is not a reason for an emergency or temporary passport, and they don't add pages anymore.

I can't apply for a new passport here in Bangkok because my visa will run out long before I get it.

Did I fuck up so bad by not knowing about these final three pages in my passport that I now have to leave my wife just before her birthday, my condo that I have a contract for, my prepaid Christmas plans, and go home for months while I sort out a new passport? Is there no other solution?

UPDATE

After some difficulty, I was able to make an appointment to renew my passport (usually done through mail only) and I will have the chance to state my case for an emergency passport (usually not given in my particular case) so I can get a visa stamp and stay in the country.

I currently have the 90-day non-O and will soon be going to immigration to get the 1-year marriage extension.

What do I need to bring with me to make sure this goes smoothly?

I know I need a bank statement saying I have had 400k baht in a bank account for 2 months.

I will have my wife with me, and our marriage license with us

I will have $200 (is it okay if it's in baht and not USD? All the sources I find just say $200) because I want it to be multi-entry.

Anything else?

Thank you for all you do. I am on a non-imm O visa with extensions based on marriage. I am due to renew my extension in October, after which, as always happens, I expect my passport will be stamped "under consideration". During the 30 days my extension is "under cinsideration", before I can get my yearly stamp, will I be able to leave the country? I am trying to schedule a trip abroad and want to understand my constraints. Thank you.

What exactly is being checked when a marriage extension application is sent to Bangkok for consideration?

Need advice.

I used to get a multiple entry visa based on marriage, which I need to renew this month.

My job means that I leave Thailand every 6 weeks and then go back home.

This visa is no longer available, meaning that every time I leave Thailand for work or to go to the UK, I would need to get a new visa., this is not going to look very good.

Any suggestions

Hi guys. I heard that if you are applying for one-year extension based on marriage or retirement, you can apply up to 45 days before your current renewal expiry date. Can anyone confirm this? I normally apply about two weeks before but would certainly do it sooner if I could.

Mahasarakham Immigration, changes to “marriage” extension applications since last year.

4 photographs instead of 3

1…..Both standing with house number showing

2…..Both standing showing the exterior of the house

3 and 4…..both, sitting or standing, inside the house

All other requirements are the same as last year.

Google Map accepted but, must show FROM Immigration to your house ,NOT the other way around.

If I have all the paperwork including a copy of my wife's ID and housebook, do I need her to go with me to immigration to renew my marriage extension?

From Siam Legal updated 2024. This reads as if one can simply transfer 40k from an American account each month to qualify. That sounds quite lenient to me.

Hello, next week I am due to collect my Non-O extension visa stamp at immigration for marriage visa extension, and I now need a new UK british passport, so will need to apply for that after.

Has anyone done a transfer of valid visa stamps over to a new passport and what is the process please - do you just go back to immigration to organise this?

Thanks
