Retiree Foreign Spouse Extension of Stay

[leddie]

For first extension of Non Imm O. Husband already on 12 month extension.  Other than passport copies, marriage certificate is there anything else?  Does marriage certificate from abroad (in English) have to be notarized?

Will the spouse have to fill out a separate TM30 for the first extension at Jomtien  even though husband already did for himself alone previously?

 

Thanks for advice to all.

Any ideas?  Is the form the TM-7?

Is it your first extension or are you applying for renewal of an existing one?

All extensions application use a TM7 form. Download,  complete and print 2 sided this. Fillable TM7 form.pdf

Your marriage certificate would need to be legalized by your embassy or a government agency where it was issued. If you have done it once already it would not need to be done again. If not in English it would need to be translated.

Not sure about the TM30 form being needed. Lots of mixed reports about it at Jomtien.

Thanks Joe. It is first extension for spouse. Do you have the link for the non-fillable TM7 form as prefer to handwrite it.

Also if the marriage was abroad and has been legalized by authority abroad is that acceptable. (wondering what exactly legalized means though?)

Cheers and happy New Year

You can print the fillable form without completing it. The grey areas for completing it do not show when you print it.

Legalized means that it is certified as a true and correct document. What country is it from?
