@William *******

Bobby is correct. Most nomads (95%+) wont be able to afford the financial requirement of proof of income which wont be on the cheap side.

Onward Ticket is not a Return ticket, so you probably misread what you read.

@Darren *****

The owner of this group is an agent so yes you can mention agent, lol!

Or even better, let her call immigration and ask. The paperwork needed for marriage extension is quite extensive (way more then just a marriage certificate), but you are in a different situation then most of us. I'm on under-consideration stamp atm, so the process is very fresh. You can't mess up a single requirement or you get denied.

Let your wife call the district office and ask. Most people like me who are married to Thai wife got married in Thailand, your situation is a bit unique.

"More likely the agent does a monthly trip to immigration". Incorrect, most agents do not go to immigration at all, unless they are in Pattaya or Chiang Mai. In every other province, agents are not the one processing your passport, people way above them do.

@Steven **************

Either your agent is reliable or not, if he is not, the number of days won't influence the outcome... it will be a bad outcome if you have an unreliable agent no matter if he keep the passport 1 day or 30 days. The issue here is that you are lacking experience in regard to agent so you are saying a bunch of stuff that are either irrelevant of flat out incorrect.

@Steven **************

You don't seem to understand that you will need to send the agent your passport for a 2nd time went the under consideration is about to end, so it's more mailing and waste of time. Also, most agents are not in Bangkok. You have no idea what you are talking about, lol! There are 5 families in Thailand running the different agencies worth hundred of billions of baht. It's a huge industry run by people you will never heard of. Agents are middle-men, they are not the one who run the show (except in Pattaya and CM where agents work directly with the nearest immigration office).

@Steven **************

I was simply answering your question on "Why agent keep passport for a month?", it's standard procedure for them to do so. Saying "BS... blabla, I've done this and that on my own!", is irrelevant because you did not use an agent. Why asking a question if you wont accept the factual answer?

@Steven **************

There is a 3-4 weeks under consideration even if you use an agent. So passport stay with them or with immigration on a pile somewhere waiting for their turn to get the yearly extension. It's been like this forever.
