I hope I have the name right but I mean the updated certificate you get from the local Ampur certifying you are still married. I was wondering how often you should update it. I did mine late last year and am thinking of going for a new visa early next year.  How long before visa application can the certificate be. Thanks.

Mrs. T goes to get an updated one the day before we need one, no use taking risk of being turned away....????

 

As said get it the day before you go to immigration, costs are 10-20 THB. Your wife will need her ID card to get it. 
 

It’s called Kr 2

 

here an example

 

Yep. Kor Ror 2.

Get a new one every year a few days before you need it.

Plus the bank letter I presume.

Makes it a busy day.

Thanks for the replies. I will probably be going to Savannaket by myself. I think it is required there. Due to circumstances it is not that easy for my wife to go to the Ampur on the day before i leave.

Are you sure that it is a requirement when applying for a Visa?

If it is then a few days earlier will probably be ok.

Not really. The KR2 can be got from any Amphur office in Thailand. It's not restricted to the one where you live. My bank is 200m from an Amphur so both easy to obtain.

This topic is another good example demonstrating the importance of indicating the name of the immigration office being dealt with.

 

Now the OP, @Wongkitlo, will have to plow through replies about the procedure used at up to 74 different immigration offices, like some self-inflicted torture.

Yes. Should have mentioned Savannaket at first. I did reply with that but yes, important advice.

Thanks. Was yours recent?

Interesting. Never heard of this.

Why would one need this document? What for?

Thanks.

Thanks. 

It shows that you are still married. It is not unknown for people to marry and then subsequently divorce.

Removed some off-topic posts that were not about the application for non-O visa application at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet  (which the OP belatedly and obliquely mentioned was the case)

One of theire strange rules of them to make it not convenient. The bank documents too.
