@Doug ******
 used an agent for my first year in Phuket, I even had my own funds.

When trying to renew the second year on my own I was told, rather strongly, that I had to drive 5 hours to the province where the agent had setup my initial visa.

After a 5 hour drive I was told by that immigration office that I had to drive BACK to Phuket and do it there.

I can tell you from experience that it can be a REAL PIA in the future if you decide to apply for subsequent visas on your own without an agent.

What steps do I need to take to translate and legalize my marriage certificate in the UK for my Non-O visa extension in Thailand?

@Jack *******
 why not?

Nobody has given me any good reasons NOT to do the marriage visa.

Just "hassle" and "you can't afford 400K".

 I understand regarding the home interview and a few photographs.

 you must have a degree in advanced mathematics.

But, not that smart if you're spending 400,000 in a weekend in Phuket.
