In my case, I have a foreign wife so usually she piggy-backs on my 800,000 THB with proof that she is my wife. The certified copy that Immigration now require will take longer to get (see above) than our current extension expiry date so tomorrow I will go to a local agent who can fix this problem. (This time I didn't enter into negotiations with the IO) Many thanks to all for your advice and information.

No, I never certified it in London but it was always accepted here. If the consulate in Bangkok cannot certify it I guess the other possibility is to use an agent.

Today, Pattaya Immigration refused to accept the original of our marriage certificate which they have previously accepted for many years. Another new requirement I guess. They want me to get a certified copy from the British consulate in Bangkok. I don't want to go to Bangkok even if the consulate will certify it there as my health limits my mobility. Anyone else had this problem? Suggestions welcome.

A couple of years ago I bought online some shaving oils from K o S and they deducted the UK VAT which almost covered the postal charge. I just tried to do a similar order and no deduction of VAT and the shipping charge (by Royal Mail) was more expensive than the products! Does anyone know a better way to get King of Shave products in Thailand?
