bunnydrops Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm going in for my first marriage extension. I saw the requirement for the Khor Ror 2 not older than 6 months. Where and how do I get an update as mine is 2 years old. We were married in Bangkok but live in Korat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Any District Office can obtain copy of a recent marriage (on a data base). Old marriages however may require a trip to office registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 There is no requirement for an updated one but different offices have their own requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnydrops Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I guess this post got me wondering about it. It does seem odd that they would want that if you have the Khor Ror 3. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/640840-marriage-visa-in-thailand/?p=6421276 Edited May 27, 2013 by bunnydrops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I guess this post got me wondering about it. It does seem odd that they would want that if you have the Khor Ror 3. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/640840-marriage-visa-in-thailand/?p=6421276 The KR.3 is an ornamental souvenir for you to hang on the wall. It surprises me that immigration offices ask for it in addition to the KR.2. Police order 777/2551 states that "In the case of spouse, the relationship must be de jure and de facto" and Immigration Bureau Order 305/2551 clarifies that the documentary requirement is "Copy of documents proving relationship, such as a marriage certificate...or other evidence from the government or relevant agency". A recent KR.2 is an indication that the marriage continues to be de jure, and a written record made by the immigration office of an interview with your wife, who must accompany you for the application for extension of stay, and sometimes also an interview with neighbours or with witnesses you are asked to bring along indicates that your marriage also continues to be de facto. Sometimes, photos are also required for the de facto part of the evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnydrops Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks--that makes it clear to me. I see that the KR2 is the most important Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That's providing the Amphur you got married at has put it on the system. We had to make a 1200 km round trip the 1st time we needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If you live far away and were married a long time ago, you can ask them to put the marriage in the online register for you so you can get it from any amphur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks--that makes it clear to me. I see that the KR2 is the most important Doc. Actually the KR 3 is the most important - it can not be replaced and is accepted as proof of marriage for visas and extensions of stay. It is only as a double check that the KR 2 has recently been asked by immigration. It can be replaced and updated copies obtained so a fresh copy would indicate an ongoing marriage seems to be the reason it was first asked - but recent reports are that some offices now accept any copy so suspect it is falling out of favor. Those who were married more than a decade ago may never have seen this document as they were not provided in earlier years. That KR 3 is all important.

2008bangkok Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I recon they make the rules up as they go along, or they just want to inconvinience us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I wouldn't make a trip to immigration without getting an up to date Kor Ror 2. Some offices want them to be no older than 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsh Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hello, So to get a recent KhorRor.2 we just need to ask one at the Ampur? Can I go alone to the Ampur without my wife? What documents are needed? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yes, you can go allone. Take your passport with you and a copy of your marrige certificate or the old khor rhor 2 if you have or a copy of your wife's ID-card. Passport confirms your ID and the other documents might speed things up in finding the records in the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
