New requirement for marriage visa? Memorandum of statement for clarity of wife...

[jack71]

My ext of stay based on marriage is due next month. I popped into the local immigration office here in Southern Thailand. They gave me a list of documents 

 

One of them says item 4: Memorandum of statement for clarity of wife.   Number 5 says Certificate of marriage.  What is item 4?

 

Number 9. Is saying in the case of working must show WP and tax evidence. I think this is an annoying requirement that is out of scope for the immigration dept. The labor office approve the WP based on giving private tax information to them. Why does immigration need to see my wifes tax returns. 

 

Actually I think they will not even know that I have a WP.  Should I just leave it out and see what happens? I suspect Thailand is too unsophisticated to have databases/ servers connected between Immigration and labor office. Surely theres no link?

 

Overall, I suppose this is not going to take very long to photocopy all this but its basically tedious that we have to go through this every year. 

 

cheers

Ive been doing my own for more than 10 years at 3 different imm offices and never really had a problem.  I just follow a list of requirements every year on which I note any changes for the next year.....easy peazy.  The guys I notice who have problems are usually those who need help tying their own shoe laces, are arrogant or ill mannered towards the Imm officers, or come dressed in their best Chang singlets, boardies and bare feet.

That may mean the affidavit that is done when you do the application.

That is not required unless you are using your income from working to meet the 40k baht income option.
