PoorSucker Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yes everything was processed correctly and I have my passport. I believe the reason they kept my passport was only to process my extension on the correct day to give me a full one year. The ten day wait was only due to a weekending and my early submission. I also want to mention that they also processed and issued an in-sync multiple reentry permit ant the total cost was about 6500 baht. Yery easy to obtain if you have all your papers, photos, documents prepared ahead of time. Thanks to all!Every extension starts when last permission to stay end. The cost for extension is 1900 baht and multiple re-entry 3800 bahtSent from my Lenovo TB3-710F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, landlord needs to sign it and you'll need copy landlords ID card also signed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) i) Residents will find #3 very useful: ii) Please see my comments below using the same numbers to further explain: 1. TM7 must be double sided. 2. Photocopy all used passport pages (x2 if applying for TM8 re-entry permit too!) 3/4/5. Self Explanatory. 6. Renew Bank books 2-3 weeks beforehand & update the new one the day before you apply. Copy the 2 applicable pages and have the cancelled book with you. The old book can be shredded immediately afterwards. 7. Self Explanatory. 8. THB 250 from TIH after a short (15min) appt with the Dr. 9. Copy of Landlords ID and Family Tree, duly signed are required in support of your rental contract. It is acceptable to draw 2x diagonal lines and write something in between them indicating your (Passport, Bank details) data is not to be used for any other purpose.

TheLobster Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Is there a similar topic for Extensions based on Marriage?

On my current multiple entry visa I need to do a border run roughly every 3 months, when I get a 90 day stamp. Apparently for 1900THB you can get a 60 day extension to this 90 day stamp if you are married to a Thai, so only needing to do a border run every 5 months. I know you can get a 12 month extension with 90 day reporting but I decided not to transfer the money to meet the financial requirements when the £ dropped 20% in value vs. THB.

Can I suggest that you ask in the main visa section of TV? Preferably Ubon Joe? I recall reading about a 60 day extension to a marriage visa in the last few months. I think that you can do it, but only once per entry; I can't remember whether it was once per entry (3 mo) or once per visa(1yr). Sorry working off memory...

Good luck Thank you Samui Bodoh, I have done and ubonjoe provides a lot of good advice so your suggestion is spot on. I posted on this Samui forum because I wanted to know if anyone on Samui in the same circumstances has applied for a 60 day extension.

thuisinthailand Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So, let me share today's Immigration visit with you. We went with our family (my Dutch wife and our son), with all the paperwork done in advance. Signed and copied all papers, being: - TM.7 (got it last week from Immigration), duly signed, complete with our photos - Copies of all relevant passport pages - Bank reference letter + account statement last 6 months + copies bank book - Rental agreement - Blue book + ID landlord, both signed by landlord - Google map of our house location - Medical certificate of the TIT (250 baht, a 20 minute breeze that was) - Marriage certificate - Birth certificate of our son (because he was born here) Compared with last year, only the landlord's ID was an extra, the idea of which I picked up in this thread (thank you guys). So, here goes... Walked in, presented our documents, we were told to come back in 1 hour. Then, I was asked to fill in new TM.7 forms as I apparently used the wrong ones.... I got them last week from Immigration here, but ok, no worries, filled in exactly the same forms one more time. Then I was asked to draw a map of our house location by hand on a white piece of paper. Did that too. And then.. we were asked to present a family picture. That one was really new for me (thought they only did that for the marriage extension visas). So we went out to the shop outside and the guy from the shop made an awesome (yes, really!) picture with his phone. I also asked for a copy for our own use, you can imagine it is hanging on our wall already.... Walked back in and then, quite to our surprise, we told to come back next week. Didn't have to pay today ("you pay next week", they said), but we all have to come back, for another photo I guess. Does anyone of you know if they now only issue the extensions on the due date (which is beginning next week for us)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) That's a funny old game ? I had a 'GPS from/to' map in my bag as a failsafe showing the route between imm and my house which wasn't required and therefore not even mentioned in #34. I saved it for next year ?

Popular Post thuisinthailand Posted June 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) To follow up on my post #50. Went back to Immigration yesterday, as requested. Was asked to pay 1900 baht (times 3, as we are with the3 of us), and then the woman suggested we come back around 2 pm to pick up our passports (she suggested, as we live not too far away, that this way we did not have to wait at the office). Came back 2 pm, had our photos taken, and that was it. So it seems they indeed only issue the extensions on the due date. Seems wize to show up a few days in advance anyway, in case something is missing. In summary: it has been a breeze. With lots of smiles for our almost 5 year old. Yep, having a little (blond) one helps sometimes :) Edited June 6, 2017 by thuisinthailand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Copy of TidyBeard post. I know that each Immigration office have different requirements, but if you wish to apply for a 1 year AO or O extension in Samui, as of 21st June, this is what you will need. 1) A new TM7 form obtainable only from the office - the one downloaded from the internet is not accepted and has to be replaced. 2) A passport photo 3) A new form with no number - only obtainable from the office, which states your Western name, and which they then translate for you to create a new Thai name. 4) Once the new forms are complete - you now need to go downstairs to an additional office and "register on the Internet" This is done for you, but costs an additional 40 Baht per applicant and takes around 20 mins. To complete this procedure you will need your passport and your residential documents - either rental agreement or blue book. 5) Proof of income as always.... 65,000 Baht per month or 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank account for at least 3 months. 6) A letter from your bank showing the current balance. ( valid for 1 week ) 7) A statement of your account showing 3 months of transactions. ( Valid for 1 week ) 8) Photocopies of your bank book showing every page for the 3 months of transactions 9) Photocopy of Passport front page 10) Photocopy of last year's Visa page 11) Photocopy of last entry stamp with departure card stapled in the passport 12) A medical certificate from a hospital - we used Bandon Hospital, very quick, about 20 mins and 250 Baht ( Valid for 1 week ) 13) A Google Map print showing your residence and it's Latitude and Longitude ( note a Google Earth view is not accepted - must be Google MAP ) 14) A hand drawn map of your residence 15) A copy of your rental agreement or your residential owners book ( Blue book ) 16) As we are a married couple applying together, they also asked us for a print of a photo of us on holiday together.... All photocopies need to be signed by the applicant. I was careful to make all copies in Portrait format as requested last year, but they still insisted on re-copying several of my copies as they were in the wrong direction, so be prepared for a few hundred Baht of copy fees. We have to return in 3 working days time to have the official photo taken and completion of the stamps ... so allow plenty of time before you travel. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLobster Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Sorry to ambush this topic but there isn't one for my situation. I'm on a multiple entry Non O based on marriage to a Thai. I usually leave the country every 90 days and get a new stamp, however that is not convenient this time and I am told that I can get a 60 day extension for 1900THB. Please can anyone let me know what documents and copies I need, this is my current list: 2 passport photos TM7 form completed Passport Copies of passport page and visa page and stamp page Wife's passport & copy of passport page Rental agreement and copy - we have an apartment elsewhere but rent on Samui Anything I've missed?

Thank you for your sound advice PoorSucker. They asked for a copy of wife's ID card (they seem to prefer this to a passport copy) and a photo of us together as well. Cost 20THB downstairs and took about an hour and a bit to process. Seems like the service is better now and without the previous rip offs. Not sure who is responsible for this but a big plus for Samui and Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So if the owner of the houses employed a manager to run the place how can you get the ID number and why would the owner give the blue book?Looks like they make it up as the go along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
