Non-Imm 'O' Me To 1Yr Marriage Ext.

[cms22]

Hello. I hold a 1 yr non-imm o multi entry from Hull based on marriage to a Thai and our daughter. I am from the UK and I am 42 yrs old.

My three month period is approaching under this visa and my options are to leave the country and return (Cambodia) or go to get a 2-month extension from Chaeng Wattana.

My question is this: Can anyone please advise what do I need to do to change my status from what I have now to the one-year extension based on marriage (with three months reporting instead of having to leave the country)? Do I need to leave the country, can I do this in Chaeng Wattana, what documents do I need?

Many thanks indeed - and sorry if my question is repeated (can't find a direct answer in my search)

Cheers

C
