I have a friend who works in NZ and has been coming here for about 7 years visiting about 3-4 times a year for 3 weeks each time has not had any problems at border as yet.
My passport was due to expire 17 Dec 2025 with marriage visa due 17 Nov 2025 for extension. Got new passport early Sep 2025 took it to immigration on my 90 day check, they took it away stamped it with my current extension ans said she you in Oct for visa extension but please bring both.passport. so nearly ready to go back just need some pics.
Yep do ours every year, passport, letter from Amphur saying we are married, pics taken beside house number plus inside, letterftom embassy showing overseas income, map how to get from immigration to our place, plus house book., they are pretty good at immigration if something forgotten or like last time not enough pics just send to them by line.
he'll that's a lot, the only time we have waited longer is when the bus loads of Chinese students are there, I'm not sure how many foreigners are in our area, but the immigration office seems to have it Sussex. Last week there were a few there waiting, lady asked me said 90 day report,gave my passport sat down, immigration officer called me over looked at me said, see you after Oct 05 for new visa application, asked.if any conditions changed since last time , no was the answer. Finished.
Why making an appointment just front up after the welcome just say 90 day report, never done online the 5 years I have lived here always front up takes about 10 minutes usually.
