Non Immigrant O Extension Based on Marriage

[pagan1]

If you are unable to get the KP 2  at the office on the floor above the Main Immigration Office then you can obtain one from the Ampur office in Buriram. Its just a 10 min drive and twice we have been in and out in less than 10 mins. Location is the  City Office next to the Provincial  Court

Appreciate that thank you. That might just be the best bet anyway!

It was Immigration at the Stadium and Buriram Amphur , Bangkok Bank Robinsons branch

[DeputyDavid]

Looks pretty much like the route I?ll be taking. Went to bank a couple days ago in the city. It was so busy, I think even the late opening time at Robinson and the quick service is well worth the trip there.

Successfully obtained under consideration stamp for extension based on Thai Wife. Went to the bank (excellent staff at Krungsri in Robinson?s), then to Amphur in Buriram city for the updated marriage certificate which took only a few minutes. Power went out just as the document finished printing.  Lol. Got to immigration office by the stadium just in time for lunch!  Oh well. We had lunch too and when we got back all the documents we provided were stamped and ready for signature. About an hour spent at the office, a good portion of which was spent chatting with the IO. Only one other customer while we were there.

Thanks for the advice regarding using Amphur in Buriram city. That worked out well.

DD ,What did you pay? And will you get a visit from them at your home ?

[DeputyDavid]

I paid 1900. That is only for the extension. I will get a re-entry stamp when I collect the approved extension stamp so they will both expire at the same time. The person that was just finishing up getting his first extension based on Thai wife was told he was definitely getting a visit. I asked and was told probably not this year as it is not my first extension. It is random the IO said.

[Wozza]

Thanks DD I paid a wee bit more than that and had the home visit on the same day . 3 weeks later came in for the stamp

Purely out of curiosity, do they still charge/expect to be paid "petrol money" for the home visit?

[Wozza]

Well they got me , no mention of petrol money charged me 6000 THB with a 1900 receipt and they came to the house the same day, And the "nice" IO man said don't have to pay them at your house , im sure it would have been split, 2100 for him and 1000 each for the home invaders.

To coin a phrase, "you had the "s$#t ripped out of you."

Sadly this may long continue. I have heard that immigration keep a list of "payments" they have received. Basically so that they know who to rip off next time too.

[Wozza]

I certainly did Olly , And I have a list that tells me who not to pay next time.Once bitten as they say in the classics

In my experience the Stadium Immigration Office is best avoided unless you are seeking additional services (and happy to pay) or just doing a 90 day.
Home visit price was B2000 a couple of years ago along with the sales patter of ' It's a one time payment'.
