Documents needed for a trailing spouse Non-O extension

[mankindmatt5]

Hi

 

Looking for some expert info here on required documents for a particular extension.

 

At Chiang Mai immigration, if that makes any difference.

 

I have a work permit/non B extension (working for a school)

 

Quite recently got my foreign wife a Non O (visiting spouse/90 days), which we would like to extend in line with my current permit of stay (until years end)

 

Obviously I expect to need the basics ;passport, photo, TM30, application form

 

Plus documents relating to my employment; contract, school registration, work permit, my passport, my stamps, my visa page etc

 

On top of that, proof of relationship, so that's a marriage certificate, stamped by our embassy (naturally)

 

Anything else I need to bring along for this? I did pop in and ask the information counter, but they just said 'Ask you employer, they will know' (...they do not)

 

Most friends end up doing 3-4 trips to immigration for this kind of thing, I would prefer to have it done in 1-2.

 

Just to reiterate we are both foreign, this is NOT relating to foreigner married to a Thai. This is a foreigner married to a foreigner.

This post is of little assistance however the one important thing is that wife entered on a Non O so yes what you outlined is certainly possible.

 

Also the fact that you are on a Non B (extension) she can piggyback on your extension.

Pity CM were not bit more helpful but that's predictable. 

 

Hopefully someone with first hand experience can post.

Yes, thanks anyway.

 

I dare to assume that the info desk meant all documents will relate to my employer.

 

But I have heard (grapevine) another friend mention being asked for some of the weird things that Thai + Farang couples have to provide 

 

Photos in front of the condo etc

I was in the same position, but back in 2016.  It was all straightforward (my wife had a non-O from London) but it needed a lot of documentation from my employer; pretty much all the same information/documents needed for my Extension.  We did it at Chaengwattana, and have extended again every year since then, plus my non-Thai son.  Our UK marriage certificate had to be legalised in the UK, then stamped by the Thai Embassy in London.  We got this done while we were in the UK.

Thanks for this. I was expecting the company documents side of things to be basically everything I took for my own extension.

 

When you extend each year, are you able to go and do it together at the same desk?

Yes, all 3 are processed together.  Takes a while and almost impossible to book 3 back-to-back appointments at CW, so is usually a very long day.  Last time we got there at 8.00am and were not finished until 3pm!
