We are undecided would it make a difference
Yes - Fewer administrative procedures are required if the marriage takes place in Thailand
-
Where do you intend to get married?
-
It would depend on the nature of the employment contract
-
Be aware that some airlines have suspended flights from China to Thailand

2 failures don't really prove very much. There could well be other reasons for their lack of success.
Phuket immigration were on record as refusing marriage extensions to all other than those with 400,000 Baht in a Thai Bank or those with income exceeding 40K Baht derived from Thai employment and proven by tax receipts. This policy has only recently been changed by a senior IO - as reported in the local press.

I doubt that this the case. More likely those that were denied an extension didn't provide sufficient proof of their income.
Untrue - I am personally aware of two people who were refused and they had evidence of monthly foreign sourced income in excess of 40K Baht/month.

You can buy(1000 Baht) a re-entry permit from an immigration office which will protect your 60 day stay

In answer to both of the above.
1. No 'special' documents were required but had I been asked I could have proved the source of my pension income.
2. A 12 month bank statement was provided which showed regular monthly income of 40+K Baht sourced from abroad

You can apply for a 60 day extension. You will need your original marriage cert. + a copy and copies of your wife's ID and house book. Your wife must accompany you when application is made

Is proof of financial status required when extending a visa at Immigration. That would be the same amount any visitor needs to show on entry, 20,000THB per person isn’t it?
A 30 day extension requires no proof of financial status

Rubber stamp in Hat Yai.
Does anyone really care, would you like to pick at my spelling or grammar?
Has anyone ever seen a post or rumour about a marriage extension that was accepted, then not approved?
I've been around ten years and never seen one.

Won't happen, rubber stamp in Bangkok, Phuket have no say once they've accepted the application.
(which is why they don't like marriage extensions)
No marriage extensions from Phuket are approved in Bangkok -

Some immigration offices align the 90 day report date with a new extension of stay.

Cheap 'throwaway' tickets are available from the low cost airlines.

All extensions normally run from the date the current permission to stay expires but Phuket are known for being different.

I doubt a UK state pension would meet the income requirements for an extension of stay.

Giving 'benefit of doubt' is not something immigration officers are noted for doing.

There are no "special" 90 day entry stamps - Visa class, entry date and length of stay are indicated within the standard entry stamp.

You can extend on the last day - most people choose to request an extension at least 7 days in advance.
-
No The best you can hope for is for an extension to be denied and to be given 7 days(at a cost of 1900 Baht) during which you must leave the country.

In my opinion, the immigration officials ought to be enforcing the laws of Thailand, not making up their own rules on who ought or ought not to be admitted.
IO's in all countries are given wide discretion about who they admit -

Is that correct? A 30 day extension can be applied for on the last day of an entry gained from an SETV/METV
