Every year when we apply for my extension we provide photos of the 4 of us (wife, 2 sons and me).

My sons are now in their early 20s, live away from home at Uni. Getting them to return home for photos is difficult to arrange. Is it necessary for the photos to include our sons, or could it just be the wife and me?

[Note the application includes copies of son's birth certificates, Thai IDs and their blue book.]

Why don't you ask at the Immigration location where you do your extension ?

I don't see that children even enter into the equation at any age.

It's an extension based on a valid marriage.

Should only need pictures of you, wife and residence, seeing it's a marriage extension and not a dependent one. This from AI..............No, you do not need pictures of grown children. For a standard Thai marriage extension (Non-Immigrant O Visa extension), the required photographs focus exclusively on the married couple and your shared residence to prove you are living together as a married couple.

Required Photos for Marriage Extension

Immigration generally requires 4 to 6 color photographs of you and your Thai spouse:

• Outside your home: Standing together showing the house number and street.

• Inside your home: Pictured together in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom.

(Note: Some local immigration offices require these photos to be printed on standard A4 paper or attached to an official document, so check with your local office in advance).

When Are Children's Photos Required?

Photos and documents regarding children are only required if you are applying for an extension based on supporting a dependent Thai child (e.g., you and the child live together, or they are minors in school), NOT for a spouse-based extension.

General Spouse Visa Extension Requirements

When making a marriage extension, you will need to provide:

• Your valid passport.

• Your legal Thai marriage certificate (Kor Ror 3 and Kor Ror 2).

• Your wife's Thai ID card and house registration (Tabien Baan).

• Proof of financial stability: Either 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account for two months, or a monthly income of 40,000 THB.

• A hand-drawn map to your residence.
