Sorry if this topic have discussed before. I have today a VISA class O-A that needs to be extended before March 8.

1. Can I extend my stay with this Visa for a year a based on marriage with a Thai national.

2. How early can I made the application at Chonburi Immigration.

3. What paperwork is required today

Thanks in advanced for your help

Yes you can.

30 days before your permission to stay ends and maybe even 45 days early.

This will give you some idea:

1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM)

(6) In case of marriage with a Thai lady, the husband who is an alien must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month or a money deposit in a local Thai bank of not less than 400,000 baht for the past 2 months for expenses within a year.

Letter from your Thai Bank showing balance and up to date bank book.

OR.

If income from outside Thailand: Letter from your Embassy showing income. Now may also need proof of income as back up.

If Income from Thailand: Statements showing Income Tax receipts.

Marriage Certificate. (Kor Ror 3)

Marriage Registry entry. (Kor Ror 2)

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.

Is it your visa or your current permit to stay that is ending on March 8th? If you do an entry prior to the visas enter before date you can get another 1 year entry.

1. If you have already used your visa to it's full extent and your permit to stay is ending you can apply for an extension of stay based upon marriage.

2. You can apply up to 30 days early.

3. You will need 400k baht in the bank for 2 months or proof of 40k baht income.

Basic list of document required follows.

Unless you are applying at Bangkok you will need 2 sets of copies attached to 2 TM7 application.forms.

Proof of 400k baht in the bank for 2 months by way of a letter from your bank and your bank book.or 40 baht income.proven by a income letter from your embassy.

Copies of your passport photo page and every page that has any stamp or visa for Thailand on it. Copy of TM6 departure card.

Marriage certificate and a updated Kor Ror 2 marriage registry.

Copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card.

Photos of you and your wife in and around the house. One must show you both with the house number shown in it. The number of photos needed varies by office.

Map to your residence from the nearest main road or street.

Proof of residence if not living where your wife's house book is for.

Some offices may want witnesses when you apply.

Has the visa expired already ('enter before' date printed on the visa)? If not you can do a border hop before it expires and get another 1 year permit to stay without needing to go to immigration for an extension of stay.

Sorry but that sounds odd if I have understood what is being said.

Are you saying that a Thai translation of a Swedish document was certified by the Swedish FM ?

You will need to get a Kor Ror 22 before you apply for the extension. They should of given one to you when you registered your marriage.

The translation of your marriage certificate will also be needed,.

The only thing we got is a sticker with an ID number attached to the marriage certificate, where can I get a Koh ror here in Pattaya or do we have to go to Bangkok?

You can get it at the Bang Lamung district office in Pattaya.
