Visa Extension Based On Marriage

[Seismic]

Is there anyone who has recently got a visa extension based on marriage (rather than retirement) and could they kindly post the current requirements for this type of extension..

I live in Bang Phli, So i am curious as to which immigration office I should direct myself to.

regards

OR.

Letter from your Embassy showing income. You may also need proof of income as back up.

Marriage Certificate

Marriage Registry entry. (khor rhor 2 form from amphur)

Wife's Tabbien Baan and ID Card.

Your Passport.

Copies of everything.

Photos of you and your Wife in and around the house.

A map showing the way to your house.

Passport size photos and 1,900 Baht fee.

Take your Wife to be interviewed.

One or two witnesses may be required.

You will be given a 30 day under consideration stamp. Go back in a month and get the remainder.

Best is to have the misses call the immirgation office before you go. Different offices have different requirements!
