Good morning. I applied for my yearly Non-O Marriage extension last week and noticed there were three new forms that we had to fill out at the counter: ST.11 and STM.10. I can’t remember the third one that my wife had to fill out in Thai. They are not listed on the Chaengwattana list of documents. Does anyone know the name of that third document that the Thai spouse fills out to validate the marriage? Also, I need to get the stamp next week and apply for the re-entry stamp. Are there any new documents required for this now too beside the TM. 8?

I knew that for a foreign spouse to get a Kor Tor 22, the general rule was that the foreigner needed to get the marriage certificate validated by the foreign embassy in Thailand. I also knew that for a few governments, including the US, the embassies will not do this. Somehow I got the impression that in those cases, it was simply a matter of taking the official US marriage to a Thai translator, then submitting it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Apparently, I was wrong and we must first submit it to the state State Dept, then the US State Dept., then the US Thai Embassy, then take it to Thailand for translation and submittal to the MFA??? Is there a shorter route? Otherwise, I may go for the Retirement Visa. If so, is it possible to later convert a Retirement Visa to a Spousal Visa?

I am aware that we need a paper from The Amphur to prove that we are still married. Can someone please tell me what I have to ask for.

This is for my Filipina wife to get an extension of stay based on my retirement extension of stay.

We will go to the Phetchaburi immigration.
