hi. Yes we had to have the marriage certificate certified before our extension here in Thailand. A lawyer here in Hua Hin organised it for us

My husband and I are Australian and moved here 3 years ago (best move ever). We got a Non OA from Sydney which was multiple entry, near the end of the 2 months we went to Vietnam so then stamped in for another 12 months. You can go onto the Thai Immigration site for Sydney and it has the form and a list of the required documents. We now have a Non O visa, I piggyback on my husbands so only he has to have the insurance and 800,000 THB in the bank. It’s actually quite easy to do.

@Robert ******

we haven't been there yet to find out. We are going on Monday as we've been busy today. I'll let you know what they say. I was just making sure it didn't have to be within 24 hours

Sorry another question. There is no letter from the embassy saying we have new passports. Do we have to ask for it at the Australian embassy

Thanks everyone for your help

Sorry meant to say we have an extension from our OA visa

@T**

thanks for that. What does AFAIK mean?

@Ja***

thank you that does answer my question. I went through so many posts but didn’t find that one

@Rob***

ok I think it’ll be a trip to Sydney as that was where we got our OA visa and they were really helpful

@Rob***

ok I’ll have a read of that. I emailed Melbourne to see if they could send a checklist for what was needed so we were prepared
