Buriram Immigration Experience - Non Imm O 12 Month Extension - Married

[smoo1954]

As this site helped me immensely to get to this point I thought I would share.

 

My wife and I arrived at Immigration 9.30am was well received at the reception desk by a very helpful lady. Checked all my paperwork, only needed one copy of each item, then I discovered I forgot to do a transaction for today in my bank. She said no worries we will prepare the and hold the paperwork while you shoot out and do the transaction and update bankbook. Returned about an hour later with the updated book, sat down to wait and was called about 10 minutes later. Imm Officer checked all the paperwork. I had printed the required photos on A4 plain paper and he asked if I had better copies. I said no. He said well can you send them to me via the Line app so I did. He printed them and put them with the rest of the paperework. Stamped my passport under consideration and said an Imm Officer will visit Saturday or Sunday and will ring me to let me know. I have to return 16th May for my extension stamp. All in all a very easy experience. 

 

I used the attached list, which I copied from this site as a guide and it was spot on.

Thx for the report

 

May I ask where did you go to? The New Office or the one at the Stadium?

 

That new Buriram Immigration Office is a pleasure to deal with, I am due to go again in approx 2 weeks!

OP, thanks for report.

Nice to read easy marriage extension without the "push" to retirement. 

What was wrong with your pics that the imm officer wasn't happy with?

DrJack54-he thought they weren’t clear enough. I had photocopied from the original A4 to fit them on the page. He had a valid point.

Yeah I had the same at Buriram IO

 

Printed on A4 in color wasn't accepted then, so now I take the pictures put them on a USB stick and take them to get developed.

 

@smoo1954 The Photo shop on the 1st floor of Robinson you can send pictures to them there and then via your phone and they will print them on glossy paper!

 

There was a shop in Big C (handy because my bank is there) but they have closed!
