Application for extension based non O visa married to Thai experience.

Two days ago I applied for my non o extension based on marriage to Thai. It was pretty much a straight forward experience. Bank statement, updated bank book, then to immigration. Filled out the application, submitted the map and pictures then after an hour of paper shoveling was told I needed to resubmit photos because they were not taken on the same day. Also a couple of lines where I stated the address was not in the correct space. ( Our immigration office seems to be quite strict about the details, but they are very nice). Went back home and retook the pictures. Back to immigration they said within 10 days we would get a letter stating the date and time of our home visit. 2 days later my wife gets a call they want to come over now. Yeah ok no problem. He shows up I give him a bottle of water or if he wants a bia or lao ( laughing) says after we get your stamp he'll come over to party lol.

He got the village head man's ( our neighbor )ID copied. Asked a couple of questions and we're done. Super easy process that you just have to go with. They do a good job vetting visa applicants and want to protect the community and country. I go back April 10 for the extension of stay.

Final Non O Marriage Visa stamp after house visit

Hello everyone,

On Saturday the IO officer came to my wife’s house and his colleague took 3 photos around house with him and us together.

He messaged my wife yesterday and said for me to come to the IO with at least 5 days left on my marriage visa that expires on dec 23.

I assume for my final acceptance stamp in my passport for the 12 month extension.

My question is do I need to take anything other than my passport?

Maybe they want another copy of my Bank book update from today to see my bank balance isn’t below 400,000 baht?

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Hi there,does anyone have an experience about house visits with marriage visa ? ( Thai wife). Do they go check every room in the house ?

Part of obtaining a Non-Imm O - married to Thai year extension is the visit to your home - Got a chap coming today what can I expect?

For Info.

Just had my house visit from Samut Prakan immigration.

They were in and out in 5 mins.

They asked me no questions.

Took 3 photos with me, the wife and the neighbor.

The two immigration officers were more interested in the neighbor. They had him sign some documents to confirm that he knew us.

This was for and extension of stay based on being married to a Thai.
