I have a non-O visa (thai spouse), and my visa will be expired on 10 Jun, so I visited Chaeng Wattana this Wednesday.

I arrived there early slightly before 8, the immigration office opens at 8:30.

About 15 people in front of me.

I have gotten my application form filled up (TM7),

photocopies of all my passport pages including TM6 (signed every page at the same location);

photocopies of :

marriage certiifcate,

Khor Ror 22,

spouse ID (with spouse signature),

house registration;

Spouse's letter of employment;

one hand-drawn map (I guess preferably in thai)

4 photos of our family (one standing in front of our house number plate/ one in front of my wardrobe/ one in front of our house showing most part of the house/ one in the living room) ; these photos are pasted on 2 blank A4 size paper

2 pcs of photos (2" x 2", although officially requirement is 4 x 6 cm)

Once the office doors opened, my spouse and I immediately got the queue number (I got number 2!) tag.

Officer was very friendly (not sure if this last throughout the day), took a picture in their computer system, we paid 1900THB, she quickly stamped on where we signed the photocopies and let us signed some declaration paper and we moved onto the next counter no more than 10 mins. The next officer stamped on the passport and marked the date of the result hearing, reminded me to make 90-days report as usual. everything is done

And I left the government complex before 9am! The total time I spent inside the government complex building was slightly over one hour. I considered this a very pleasant experience
