What should I do after my Agoda hotel booking was cancelled and my Agoda cash expired?

Pete **********

Every time I use agoda I seem to have a massive increase in spam emails - almost as if they are passing on my email address to these companies.

Can a Thai wife request immigration to cancel a marriage visa?

Pete **********

From what I have seen immigration always wants to see your Thai wife when you apply for the one-year extension - so if you're having problems with your wife then you are probably okay visa-wise until the renewal becomes due.

Why is the marriage document verification process at the Ampur taking two months?

Pete **********

Try your embassy! You can get married there without your wife being present. Then take all the documents to the local Amphur office and you can get a Thai marriage certificate the same day! But you may need to make a donation to the local orphanage.

What are the document requirements for extending a Non-O visa for marriage to a Thai national in Chiang Mai?

Pete **********

So what happens when you have this visa and go back to your own country for a holiday, obtaining an re-entry permit before you leave so the visa is still in force when you return. Will you need insurance when you arrive back?
