Pictures for non O retirement dependent extension - Phuket

[federicoP]

I have been told that in Phuket, for the annual extension based on non-O- retirement dependent for the foreign partner, in addition to the well-known picture of the happy couple at the entrance of the house, now 3 more photographs of the couple inside the house are required.

Has anyone had recent experience, in Phuket, on this topic?

Good question.   We are going in a couple of weeks to Phuket immigration......  Happy Couple.... Does that mean we have to smile in the photos?  😂

I thought these extra photos were for Married to Thai extension.   I also have friends here on work visas and they had to do that.  

All input helpful.   thanks for asking.

Since I renewed the extension at Phuket Immigration today, I answer to myself:

For the renewal of the extension for the dependent partner, in the case of foreign couples, photographs inside the house are not necessary but only the usual photo of the couple outside, with visible house number.

I was there this morning.  It was a zoo.  I thought the new system was supposed to be New and "Improved".   Where was the improvement?  More paperwork, more forms, a trip to the bank and a trip to the copy center.   In years past no problem, slipped right through.  I hope your experience was better than mine.    Sorry for ranting, but the system should be easier after 10 years of doing this, not harder.   🤯
