Awesome, thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the response!

Can you confirm the visa I'd need is "Family Visa O Single" listed on this page?

After entering with that visa, I'd have to wait 2 months before applying for the actual marriage visa correct?

I've read some conflicting information about the type of visa I'll need when entering the country before making a marriage visa.

I've previously had a marriage visa so I have all the paperwork, and need to know if the standard 30 day tourist visa will suffice or if I have to go the embassy and get a different visa before I arrive.

Thanks!

I'd much prefer a crackdown on Bus drivers. They seem to think a red light means "slow" not "stop".

Congrats! It's stressful dealing with bureaucracies that can feel so uncaring so it's nice to hear a positive story like this.

Just got my 1 year extension of stay stamp today and wanted to share what was needed. This is for a marriage visa extension (not the original marriage visa) obtained at the Jomtien immigration.

Two copies of:

TM7 Form

Passport - Photo page, current visa (best to just copy all pages from the past year or two)

Arrival card

Address reporting slip

Rental agreement

Landlord's passport

Condo's/House's Blue book (Ta Bian Baan)

Wife's ID card

Wife's Ta Bian Baan

Marriage certificate

Declaration of income from Embassy (400k in the bank for 3 months also acceptable)

2 photos from inside house/condo showing you and your wife

2 photos from outside house/condo showing you and your wife, make sure the unit/house number is visible

For the photos, they won't accept selfies, so have a friend take the photos for you, or get a tripod

We have no children together, but if you do, make copies of the birth certificate and include them in the photos

Procedure:

Get a ticket for counter 6, the wait times are usually quite low. We had to wait only about 10 minutes.

After submitting the documents, you will receive a one month temporary extension.

The next day we had an immigration officer come to our condo to ensure everything was on the level. They said they don't always do this but you should be prepared. They also spoke with the condo manager asking her to confirm details.

Go back to immigration on the date your temporary extension ends, and they will give you the full year. You don't need to queue for a number, just head over to desk 6.

Hope this info helps!

OP, is all this time an effort really worth it for the ~$15 fine you have to pay? I understand you feel you were wronged, but it's the kind of the thing you have to expect living in a country like Thailand. If you want to live in a country that has a greater respect for the laws I'd suggest moving back your home country.

Sorry, didn't read that right. Glad that's something that will help him. I know myself and others are still looking for a solution to getting a full standing desk somewhere in Pattaya.

The only standing desk I've been able to find is from Ikea in Phuket. Unfortunately they don't deliver.

The one posted before isn't a real standing desk, just an attachment you put on your existing desk.

OMG burger inside Central Marina is as close as I've found.

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll give them a call.

Do I really need to specify I need one in Thailand?

I'm looking for a desk like this:

That's the only place I've seen listing one but they're sold out it seems.

Bump.

Anyone know where to order a standing desk from?

You're lucky to get decent wifi at any hotel. If you're not going to be using a lot of data, the AIS 4G is extremely fast.

I've been using GrabTaxi for months without a problem. About the same price you'd pay if you asked them on the street but no haggling and they come to your door.
