I collected my first ever extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai wife from Chaengwattana and they didn’t do a home visit for us either. I had no problems collecting my extension of stay. You’ll be fine mate
When I did my extension of stay, my wife asked the reception desk as you walk in for a few spare copies. They gladly handed her 3 or so of each of the required ones 🙂. Maybe you can ask when you collect you extension after the 30 day consideration
i shall keep you posted 🙂. I was thinking of taking my UK statement and confirmation from TransferWise as proof. But Tod mentioned above that this applies to applying for a 90 day non o inside Thailand. I already have a multiple entry non o but just changed to the 60 day visit friends and family visa. So I am not sure if it applies still
Edit: ok, Benjamin’s comment put an end to my plan haha. Will ask my wife to call immigration for me and check 😀
I was in the exact same boat as you but I just got the 60 day visit friends and family extension on Monday. Was very easy to do and only took an hour or so at Chaeng Wattana. I am currently waiting for my funds to season to get the year long extension of stay. With Covid, it seems risky to rely on the border bounce.
