Ian Carman Technically you can do every 90-day report online after that initial one, provided you remain in the country, so yes, that makes sense. For subsequent extensions you will need to provide bank statements at which time they will see that you kept the 800k for three months after the extension date.

I used my pink card when getting a Thai driver license. The number is referenced on the license. Also can be used for internal air travel in lieu of passport. Might get you into some attractions for Thai price if you're lucky.

I went through this exact process last year. You send your original marriage certificate to Internal Affairs. It then goes to MFAT before being couriered back to you with the official red seal. When you get to Thailand take everything to the NZ Embassy (you need to request an appointment online), they'll do their bit, then get it translated. After that it needs to go to MFA Consular Services. The likes of Express Translation Service can do the whole process, saves you route marching all over Bangkok. When you have everything back go to your local Amphur office and get your marriage registered.

Many IOs only require a new filing if you return from travel outside the country, some may require a new one any time you spend time away from your primary residence. I don't live in BKK so don't know their requirements. Either way, if the home owner you stay with is registered it takes two minutes to file and print.

Imagine what they'll be like after Songkran.

Frank-Steven Eichholtz What concern is it to you what they charge? Let it go!

Arnold Watson I'm not sure what you're talking about. This post is about the Thai Embassy in Wellington. There is no NZ Embassy in NZ. You extend visas at your local immigration office in Thailand. If you're in NZ all relevant details on visas and costs can be found on the website.
