Thanks for sharing Jeremy. Yes I think we should be ok, even if we don't get everything to their satisfaction first time

@Tod ********

Great, thanks 🙏

@Kim ********

Thanks Kim. I went to Chiang Mai immigration today to get a list of things needed (photo's a bit blurry).

Just checked with the wife and she's updated the blue book, so it looks like we just need to update the Kor Ror 2 & should be good to apply in September 👍

@Tod ********

Thanks Todd. I remember you saying before it was 2 months, so when this guy mentioned 3 months (he wasn't sure) I thought I best double check in case something has changed.

And if it's only 2 months then it looks like I won't need to do a border bounce, as the money was in my bank on July 1st and I have until September 26th on my stamp.

For the Kor Ror 2 update, can this be done at any amphur? We registered our marriage in Mae Rim but my wife is from Chom Thong and this is where she changed her name.

@Tod ********

Thanks, that's everything I need to know 🙏

@Tod ********

Thanks Tod, super helpful as always!

Good idea going to the immigration with the wife to get a list of requirements before applying, I didn't think of that. In Chiang Mai I could do that either at the immigration near the airport or the one at Central Festival, right? It's been a while since I've visited either of those.

I may do a border bounce to give me some more time. I actually really enjoyed my previous one at Chiang Saen. It's good to know that's an option at least.

Cheers!

@Tod ********

No problem. I was going to write an update when I arrived in Mukdahan (currently on the bus crossing over). The good news is I got the 1 year visa. I didn't have a letter from my wife and they didn't call her to check, so everything went as planned. Perhaps I was just lucky to have gone yesterday rather than today

@Tod ********

I'm hopeful of getting it but definitely won't take anything for granted until I see it stamped in my passport. I'll let you know either way

I did mine yesterday morning. They said "Where's your wife?" and I said Chiang Mai and it wasn't an issue. Haven't collected my passport yet though

Also, one thing I didn't realise until recently is that you can also pay $10 instead of 500 baht when you get the stamp in Myanmar. I did it last month, no problem
