Marriage Visa Fee

[pokerkid]

How much do I have to pay to the thai immigration office to get a 1 year extension on my non-immigrant visa (marriage)

[lopburi3]

Any extension of stay costs 1,900 baht.

[PoorSucker]

Put the money in an envelope marked "FEE 1900 Baht"

"Put the money in an envelope marked "FEE 1900 Baht""

Why?

Doing that gives the appearance of doing something wrong.

You know how appearances are.

If you ask Samui Immigrations they will say 5.000 baht.

They will try to scam you for 5.000 baht.

Put 1.900 in envelope marked "FEE 1.900 baht"

They also want the kor ror 2 (Marriage registrar from Amphur) updated, get a new one from the Amphur for 20 baht.

Never go Monday or Friday, to many tourists.

I usually go around 2-3 PM, less people.

Dress properly.

Here's my check list for paperwork.

Update: I went to the samui immigration office at 15:15 and there was nobody in front of me so the girl behind the counter sended me to the conference room.

At 17:15 I left the office and the total cost was 1900 baht so i am happy with that. i got a stamp in my passport saying i have to come back in 2 months to get the extention

Did you get 2 months "under consideration", it's normally one month, check your stamp.

[pokerkid]

It is 2 months and the immigration officer told me to come back on the date or a couple of days days before otherwise there could be a chance the paperwork is not ready.

I expected 1 month as well so i made sure he told me that he gave me the correct date
