Khor Lor 2 Now Being Required Marriage Extensions

[Solinvictus]

This week I went to Chaengwattana for a 60 day marriage extension and unlike before I was asked for the Khor lor 2. Previously our original marriage certificate was okay.

 

While getting it, the khor lor 2, at the nearby 'khet' they said that within Bangkok it is required. Maybe, I'm slightly on the negative side but I find their continual change of requirements 100% intentional. The I/O in the back had to look at us before she gave a response as to whether the original certificate (not the khor lor 2) was acceptable or not. Also, the lady that checked the documents prior to our queue, mentioned it may or may not be okay. TIT ????

 

But my point of this post is that, I'm wondering if now a lot of others are finding themselves having to go get the 'khor lor 2' when previously not needing to. Or maybe its just new to me.

It has been required everywhere for years.

No problem to get.

This is the Khor Ror 2, most Immigration Offices require it along with the pink Certificate of Marriage.

 

 

I've never been asked to update mine but many offices do and it's as easy as going along to the local Amphur office and paying a small fee. Drag the good lady along as well.

You don't need to get a new one every year, only just before the first extension, that can then be used for subsequent extensions.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I guess I was just a bit surprised as previously (for me) only the marriage certificate was fine. At least, I got it done with. And yeah, it was quite easy and thankfully there was no que at the khet.

Maybe at your local immigration office, but hardly everywhere.

Chiang Mai requires a new one every year.

Surely, the idea of asking for Kor 2 is to provide evidence that you are indeed still married. Using it for subsequent extensions kind of defeats the object of that requirement does it not?

[Black arab]

Required this may at chaiyaphum imm.

[PJPom]

A must have at Krabi, no problem, only cost 30 baht.

[kingstonkid]

Do you have to go to the amphur you got married at or can you get it where you live

Exactly, a fresh kor ror 2 has been required at Kanchanaburi and Surin for some years.

Wrong. Most offices need a new one every year.

Koh Samui requires it and most recently asked for it was Monday.

That's a bit of a broad statement if ever there was one! How would you possibly know it's required everywhere?

 

As far as my own experience goes, I've done 4 marriage extensions in 2 different offices and this last one, in August, was the first time I've been asked for one.

 

Agree with your second sentence however.

Because I read a lot of TV posts and the vast member of posters mention this.

For the sake of 20 Baht why risk being refused?

I also read TVF, it's where I learned most of the extension related requirements. The requirement for Khor Lor 2 has popped up on a few occasions. and as I said, I was only asked for this for the first time on my 4th extension and others have also made similar statements, some quite recently.

 

I do not recall the 'vast member (sic) of posters mentioning this'. Had been aware I would surely have inquired about it. As it was, I didn't even know what it was until this last August. Fortunately, my wife did know.

 

Have a nice day.

[Grumpy John]

Need one for every renewal at Phitsanulok.

You can go to the nearest one. You don't have to go to the amphur you where you were married.

I agree "It has been required everywhere for years" is a "broad statement." You should accept that. Then a poster goes on to say "Exactly.." Well, maybe for those offices you have had experience with.

Yeah, what we have here is immigration not always being uniform in their demands as far as paperwork goes. I too, read good information regarding immigration on here and one thing is for sure, things are again, not always 'uniform' when dealing with these people. TIT ????????????

[Number 6]

It's always been required. I have posted as I've seen theads like this pop up.

 

Last few years an updated kr2 required, not original.

 

Last year the original not the updated.

 

Totally insane. I can see the updated. The original is superfelous.

 

Bring both!! 555

 

I bring everything. Copy and original affidavit to marry. Everything.

Nope, you can't.

There's a whole thread here about steps required to legalize your US marriage.

 

Here it is:

The Kor Ror 2 is 2 to 3 pages long. Have your wife go to any Amphoe and request a print out ot it after showing her ID card.

Your real marriage certificate is the fancy flowery one. That appears to just be a translation of it.
