I did one last week. I brought my passport and the “appointment notification” that they had stapled in my passport. That’s it. In and out in 2 minutes.

Edit: I am on a non O for marriage. So no further paperwork required.

If you are on a retirement visa I believe you need all the bank support documents showing funds (800K baht) are still available.

Richard, allow me $.02 here.

I am also American and I live in Thailand now. I am in a couple of forums that beat these topics to death.

I think it’s going to be a while before you’ll be entering Thailand. They are being ultra conservative and I think rightfully so. Being engaged would probably be more indifferent to them than anything else.

Before I met my wife I was living in Hawaii. We ended up doing a fiancé visa for her to come to America. It took about three months from when I filed the first document until we landed in Honolulu together. That may be a better option for you. If you want more info feel free to DM me and I will tell you all I can.

I look forward to everyone doing literally nothing to improve their situation and then bitch about it 15 September when no mention is made of another FREE extension. 😂😂

Good information and very interesting in that we did all this through the Ubon office and no one ever asked about funds other than the day we applied. They also gave back all the photos except for one in front of the house and one inside. But that seems to be the norm. Consistently inconsistent.

Glad it went well for you!

Yes. I got a small package from Boston in only 10 days. Sent USPS. I should also say, that was to the village. So probably added a day or two.

I just checked my receipt again to be sure. I paid $25 on 5 January this year. But it was a single page document with one stamp. No idea if that matters or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you cannot get to them you can try this:

I have used them. It’s fast, effective and I had no issue with the documents notarized.

You make an account, upload docs, do an interview and then they send you your stuff all notarized and good to go.
