Here is another guy who likes them a lot, seems worth a try -

a read here, was a crackdown approximately 5 years ago, and since then rather quiet

AFAIK - no regulation change, only in-person will do, even arriving in an ambulance, check out a visa agency instead

back in the old days, super simple, PP and the gf ID card, 2 office witnesses, and a 200 baht fee, took 30 min here, so long because they screwed up a few papers, and got married to another girl, that was sitting on the chair behind me - if recall that right 😀

Had just now an ad for a year's visa, ON THE FB timeline to study the Thai language at CM, which reads We can convert from a Tourist visa, Exemption visa to an Education visa for 12 months.

Promotion 29,000 baht, added lines were other expenses, the total fee is 48,000 baht, NOT cheap in my opinion, exactly my yearly rent here in Isaan at my present location - 2 hours study, twice a week was also mentioned

was looking into that, in case of my ex returned to the house, and advice given in a local farang group was, to walk away, lawyers would skim you out more money, and drag the affair out, I was told that a farang bought a house nearby, he was not even allowed to inside the house when visiting TH from USA, FULL OF RELATIVES having fun - an uncontested divorce could quickly turn into a contested divorce and then your is in for one hell of a rollercoaster ride, they said

they prefer 2 to 3 days working days before the day of extension expires, a small IO told me, back then - I was 10 days early once, and got only 14 days of extension, also told do a revisit here for your 1-year extension, as said above time

Previously I was married to a pretty decent Thai woman, and also never had any visits from IO guys, but many of them visited the application home, as said by a few people's replies above - it's a rather new move by them, say 10 years, properly came from fake/rent a Thai wife for your Thai visa extensions, also unrecorded marriage certificate was also sold, mostly to Asians, aka Indian was the first line, I've also seen, rather simple to get the husband extension revoked by the Thai wife, husband PP and a little talk to an interested IO, seems the other side, have no say,

I've always done the transfer of visa/extension to a new PP at the IO of I was registered, you can download the form, and reading the process/ requirement looks a little hard at first, but the really straightforward process or simple matters, when done, once I'd not even bother, because I was scheduled to fly out of TH, no problem
