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

Maxim ***********

I got married 2 months ago in Chaiyaphum and it took 1 hour, no police check, nothing. Only thing needed was the translated/certified affidavit (paper saying that I can get married). The mayor will ask a few questions and that's it, you get your marriage certificate.

Will the COVID visa extension continue after the 24th?

Maxim ***********

It will extend until the country fully re-open, which include 30 min out-in border run. I've said this since day 1, as long as people can't border run, Covid extension will remains.

What are the latest updates and requirements for the COVID visa extension in Thailand?

Maxim ***********

Yep, as I predicted, as long as it's not possible to border bounce easily (go to Savannakhet, for example and come back 30 min later), they will keep extending Covid extension.

You can have an onward ticket, no need for a return ticket. You can buy a cheap refundable ticket to a neighbor country.

Is Thai Visa Centre a reliable service for visa assistance?

Maxim ***********

Thai Visa Centre is the owner of the group you are currently asking your question from. You can see their name on the banner above. Yes, they are legit. If it's "Center" with the wrong spelling, then probably a scam.
