Question for married couples from the USA who use their marriage certificate for "trailing spouse" visa/extension purposes:

Have you successfully extended the stay of the trailing spouse (after 29-Feb-2024) at Hua Hin immigration using an original marriage certificate from the USA without any authentication documents from the state/commonwealth, Department of State, and Royal Thai Embassy?

For background, we applied for our original visas using the marriage certificate that we received when we originally got married, which was a "true and correct copy" signed by the county recorder with an embossed seal but which did not have any attached authentication documents. We also used that original copy for our first trailing spouse extension. However, after reading about a possible need for authenticated documents, we decided to pay an apostille to request another copy of our marriage certificate and obtain all the authentications that were required at that time from the state and federal authorities and with an additional authentication stamp provided by the Royal Thai Embassy. We were told that the authenticated documents would be valid for 3 years, and we have used them twice for trailing spouse extensions. However, based on Immigration Order No. 0029.154/1491 dated February 24, 2024, we are wondering if we will be able to go back to using the original copy of our marriage certificate that we received when we got married, which has no attached authentication documents.

Since we have presented two different marriage certificates at Hua Hin immigration that look quite different from one another, both of which were issued by a competent authority in the state in which we were married, but only one of which is attached to authentication documents, we are wondering if using the original copy will create confusion.

Hi, if I go to Thailand for 40 Days can I fly to Singapore for a week and still get back in to Thailand? I am US citizen.

Hi everyone!

Thanks in advance🙏🙏🙏

I have the stamp for underconsideration being for 1 year extension of stay based on marriage. Been doing this for 10 years now. Today recieved a phone call from immigration wanting an update on bankbook. The required funds have always been in the bank and on appplication for extension letters from the bank were produced as required along with all the other documents required. This year was the first time the immigration police did not come to our home as they normally do after application. So it seems like they are now checking on funds whilst under consideration. I went to the bank to update the bankbook at the ATM and supplied copies to immigration of which they wanted the same day Immigration in my province. did say that Immigration in BKK is making it harder. All documents are sent to BKK for approval. So lets see what happens now.

Hello I'm in Nakhon Pathom canceling my extension based on marriage obtained in Non O and officer told me that I just need to go outside of country and it will canceled automatically. And I'm like NO. If I don't cancel in immigration Thai embassy in Laos will not give me visa (RS) it was always a rule that you need to cancel. Is it possible to do in Nong Khai. Am I right?

Hello Everybody:)

Can anyone advise what value of insurance which is currently required to extend OA visa from within Thailand? ( Chiang Mai).

Does the insurance have to be from an approved Thai list or will an internationally sourced (UK) policy be accepted?

If an international policy is acceptable is their a requirement for the policy to be pre- approved by immigration or subject to any other Gov / Immigration approvals ? TIA.

Wondered if I bought a 60 day return ticket and applied for Thai pass under ‘visa on arrival’ which is 30 days renewable. Would it be declined? Would I need to have a two month insurance booked?

Hello everyone,

If i leave the country for a few weeks but keep my rented place while i am away, does my landlord have to make a new TM30 report when i return?

I got a new one year extension yesterday with adress report receipt which tells me to report adress again in 90 days as normal, but i leave the country tomorrow and come back end of month, i have been told by some that i then have to wait 90 days from my return before i do a new report. Can i do the report on my current given report date as that is easier for me, or do i have to do it after 90 days upon returning to the country (never mind that you can do it 2 weeks before and one week after the date, i just need to know what date i have to keep in mind, the one on my current 90 day receipt, or the one 90 days after returning)?

Thank you.
