They are quite relaxed and friendly in there. But they are also getting a little more strict with some things. In the past years, I never had to report back after having been out of the provinse. Only after being out of the country. When I did my last 90 days report in start December, I asked if would need to report back after going to Krabi for the new years, thinking about other places has started to demand that. I was told I would need to report. So today I did. It was a new IO that processed it. Then when he looked in the computer he noticed that I had stayed in a hotel last summer (in Buengkan), and i replied that it was when our daughter was born. I did not report anything as its the same provinse. I have even done 2 90 days and my yearly extension in between.. He looked concerned/serious about it, but then his higher ranking college told him to overlook it.

But I guess that in the future, having been anywhere for more than 24 hours (not if its private and not registered of course) I will have to report after.

It sounds like what you have is an extension of stay based on being over 50. You go every year to immigration and ask for a one year extension?

If that's what you're doing, you don't have a visa anymore. You have an extension of stay.

When you apply for the extension based on marriage, they will check all documents before accepting the application. Only if everything is in order they will accept it.

They will then cancel your existing extension, and stamp in the first month (under consideration) of your extension based on marriage. After 30 days you come back to get the rest of that yearly extension stamped in (11 months.. totalling 12 months).

It's very rare that it would get denied in that consideration period. I have personally never heard of it. If your marriage is genuine, and you can meet the requirements for the marriage extension you are good.

@Robert ******

says! Easiest way is to go to Vientiane in Laos and get another turist visa and then extend it at immigration. If you want to stay that long another time, better to get a multi entry turist visa from Sweden before you go to Thailand ;)

Only your transport to the bridge and the bus across the bridge.

@Deepak ******

thats true. But you can be asked to show cash money! 10.000 pr person or 20.000 pr family.

Not disappointed.. Glad to learn ;) thank you

Live and let learn

@Benj****

okay.. If that's true.. then forget what I said ;) did not know that. Thought that was only for extension and retirement/marriage non-o

You can't get the initial ED visa inside the country.

@Inès ************

are you talking about an extension of an original 90 day ED visa? That would make more sense.
