Marriage Visa Extension

[koratkarlos]

Hi Forum

 

Just got the call from the Chiang Mai immigration officer for the house visit tomorrow with regards to the marriage visa extension.  They are already asking my wife about payment money to them.  We are new in Chiang Mai and have not dealt with this immigration office.  What is the current practice with regards to payment for gas - whatever - to the immigration officers.  I really do not have a problem covering some of their costs but certainly do not want to pay excessive amounts.

2 came to our house....They were nice & casual & fairly thorough with their questions.....

We were told that 500 per person was the "expected"....Our property manager advised on the amount as she'd routinely been asked to be a witness + married to a farang herself....

I bought 2 of the smaller Almond Roca candy packs (6?8?) & handed them to them with 2 - 500B notes on the underside thanking them when they were ready to leave....Nobody could see and the "donation" exchange went smoothly.....

That was the only time we had to have the home inspection....
