Got my twelve month transaction statement without problem in OCTOBER for extension of NON O marriage from Bangkok Bank in Chiang Rai.

Whether branches can differ, I suspect that is the experience of some.

Less than TWO percent of those that enter visa exempt stay longer than thirty days.

Less than ONE percent longer than sixty days.

Average tourist stay is 8-10 days.

If you enter by LAND and get a visa exempt, you get no extensions.

If you want to stay long term get the proper visa, act in a manner that DOES NOT draw attention to your entries and exits, and if they do draw attention have ready, a plausible, and as much as possible, VERIFIABLE explanation why you should enter. Use some judgement.

We were given a required form to use by Chiang Rai Immigration.

Ask at your local office.

Know you local office requirements .

Yes, scan passport, pink border marriage certificate, yellow house register, wife’s Thai ID, map to home and update as needed such as passport, etc.

In other words scan the ones that are ongoing. Once scanned you can print yourself or go to a shop.

You have them in a file and can update as needed.

Other documents like

the current marriage certification (Kor Ror2), copy of bank book and bank letter must be gotten from other sources.

Preparation works, and the more times one goes the process, the more it becomes routine.

Check the requirements for your LOCAL office.

I have my own printer, and I have scans of my passport, pink border marriage certificate, Wife ID card, and House Register on laptop.

These I print and the other documents are printed when acquired.

Two sets are needed.

Pre-planning reduces stress.

With it on the record, there is risk of a shadow ban in the future as noted by James Miller.
