[villageidiotY2K]

Hello folks, I'm wondering if ur spouse deceases, what happens to your marriage visa? 

 

No, I'm not planning to murder my spouse <deleted>!

I have heard that you yearly marriage extension is cancelled immediately upon your wifes death.

while a VISA can have its cause through that permission to stay.....

That is false info. It only ends incase of a divorce.

From the conditions for a permit to stay most people have to complete when applying for an extension.

So do you mean I can still extend the marriage visa even if the spouse is deceased? 

How about the documents needed for extention such as photos of us together, Id card of the spouse etc... 

 

Do they have new set of rules for this case?

No I am not saying that. When the current extension expires you would need a different reason to apply for it.

What I posted are only the conditions you have to meet to keep your current extension valid.

You will need to be even more creative when (as required) you take the (ex-)wife with you, as is required, when you submit the application. Perhaps, if you are an extremely skilled ventriloquist with fluent Thai you could make it work.

...but I've only ever heard skilled ventriloquism working the other direction, with the Thai wife having the farang husband saying things he never said.  ????

I think we're bordering on sick humor....nevertheless, I'm chuckling. We can't take this Imm BS too seriously now, can we? Cheers.

The OP could always find a taxidermist. Some of the work they do is very lifelike. Indefinite visa extensions without the nagging.

Your extending your permission of stay based on marriage (a permit, not a Visa).

In the case of a deceased spouse, the extension remains valid until it's expiry date.

You then couldn't apply for a further extension based on the reason of marriage, but could for reason of retirement (over 50), or remarry.

A few months ago I met a British guy when I went to get my car serviced and we got chatting. The subject of visas came up and he revealed that he gets an extension of stay through a Thai friend of his - they aren't dating or married - he just say he knows her and gets it renewed, he said. If this is true, I don't see much reason why you couldn't just get a 'stand in' for your deceased spouse and keep it going - immigration don't seem to check that much. The important thing is just having 'proof'.

I can assure you that is not true. I can say that after applying for 13 extensions based upon marriage.

A marriage certificate is required and a recent Kor Ror 2 marriage registry printout is required. Not sure how the system works but I suspect the Kor Ror 2 might be deleted from the system when a death is registered.

Sounds like the Thai friend is an agent, or knows an agent.

If you have ever done a marriage extension you would realise what a silly statement this is.

 

You wouldn't have the documentation saying you are still married, you would be taking a different person to immigration after the first year the staff tend to know and remember you, not to mention that they take (and you submit) a photo of you and wife every year.
