I presume you're talking about an extension of stay obtained in-country rather than a visa gotten from an embassy outside thailand

Yes - you can change the reason of having an extension of stay (in your case from >50 to marriage)

As for the documents- I'm not 100% sure but probably best to say which immigration office you're using or visit them and get the checklist or do a group search for extension of stay - marriage.

Have you advertised the job locally to demonstrate a local Thai can't / won't do the job ?

This may/will help to support your WP application.

- not needing medical/police/others doc's can make it easier to do non-0(>50) 'in-country'.

Not 100% sure if both need to meet the requirements or if one can 'trail' on the others visa/extension - I think so but not 100% sure.

Have a look at this post about 'retirement' visa -

If you don't want to go back to UK to get the non-O-A, you may (depending on the immigration office) be able to come in on a visa exempt entry (or tourist visa) change to non-0 (>50yrs) and then onto yearly extension. (Or even miss one step and apply for the non-0 in hkg)

Extensions are 1900,

(Irrespective of visa type)

It's not really an issue (yet) for bangkokians

Also note your 90 day (tm47) will restart from the day you return from abroad.

Max' fine - must have been having a bad day . .

:-(

Why o why do people wait until the end date - go early get it sorted . .

Most offices will accept an extension 30days ahead of the expiration date.

That shouldn't be a problem - just make sure you go asap (tomorrow) - extn will be back dated but you / your friend will avoid any o/stay hassles.

Should be no fine, no red stamps- just the 1900 fee for extn.

One day, - today / yesterday immigration were closed. Go tomorrow (the first next working day) get an extension for 1900, it'll be back dated but you'll clear any 'dangers' of being in overstay.
