Popular Post Tony M Posted May 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just some quick info. Went today to submit my annual marriage extension application. My 10th application. For the last 9 years, Jomtien office required 3 photos of my wife and me together - one outside the condo (showing room number), one in the lounge, and one in the bedroom. Today the requirement has increased to 6 photos. For the last 2 years, Jomtien office insisted that we bring a "witness". This year, they didn't want to talk with the witness, but informed us that we should expect a visit from immigration officers. This was at 10.00 am. At 4 pm, they phoned, and said we will be visited by immigration officers at 9 am tomorrow. I meet the financial requirement by cash in the bank. The senior officer (all the documents go from the first officer to a senior officer) wanted to know how much government pension I receive from UK. When I told her that this was a marriage extension, and not a retirement extension, and that she had my bank statements and bank book, she got a bit huffy, and said that "Bangkok wanted this information". I have no idea why, because she wouldn't tell me. I didn't push it, as my wife was giving the evil eye, to stop. Will update after the visit from immigration tomorrow, unless I am in the IDC. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One photo with the condo door number and five photos inside the condo together. Today they took more photos, with the witness in the photos too.
