bbko Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hello, Last month my wife and I went to Pattaya Immigration so I could apply for an extension based on marriage, I presented all the needed paperwork and a few days later immigration came out to our home and took photos and interviewed our witness and I was to return this week for a follow-up. My question is for the follow-up appointment, do I have to bring any paperwork? Does my wife have to be with me? Anything other than my passport needed? TIA.

DrJack54 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Wife does not need to be with you. You need pp and also (just in case) your bankbook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moonlover Posted February 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2022 I've had five marriage based extensions and in every case all I needed was my passport. My wife did not have to attend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 All my marriage extensions, and I've never had to do a 'follow up', just return to finalize the extension, on date in the PP. Usually 30 days +/-, after application submitted, which is stamped in your PP when submitted. Since 100 kms away, we always call first, to make sure the final paperwork is there. Highly advise doing so, calling ahead, as BKK Imm may be a bit backlogged, due to the 'situation'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The way it worked for me in Ubon is once they were finished asking for more paperwork, my wife and I went in together for an interview, they asked me a few questions, asked her a lot of questions in Thai and said they would come out for a house visit. Five or six immigration officers showed up in three police cars. They talked with our neighbor, brought in their own printer, printed off a form and had her sign it and maybe had a us sign a few things and then I went back a few days later, paid and got my visa. Subsequent renewals were a lot easier except that when they give you a "definitive" list of all the paperwork you need to bring in, it's not definitive and for me it required three trips after I'd already brought in everything on their list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDutchEngineer Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 You can pick up the visa by yourself on the date that is stamped in the passport (under consideration). Only need to bring the passport to stamp in the extension (when it was approved by bkk imm) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
