Hi all. I'm about to submit my application for my 1 year extension based on marriage at Chaengwattana but I'm going the income route this time.

My HR has requested some docs too late and I'm concerned about the timeline here.

Worst case can I use a 60 day visit family extension to buy myself a bit more time to get this done?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for a one-year extension based on marriage, specifically through the income route. They express concern about document delays from HR and inquire if they can apply for a 60-day family visit extension to allow more time for processing. Responses indicate it's possible to apply for an extension up until the current visa expires and that a 60-day family extension can be obtained at the same office.

You can apply for a new extension right up to the day your current stamp runs out

AND

if you're already on a year extension and just applying for another one you'd get the 60 day visit thai family extension at the same section at Chaengwattana where you'd apply for the year extension (Section L-1)

You say "this time" so that suggests to me that you are switching methods and applying for a new Extension of Stay based on marriage not a Non-O Visa. Is that correct?

well spotted

The O/P is indeed applying for a yearly extension of stay

Correct. I'm currently on a 1 year extension based on marriage - I'm just using income this year, not savings as I have previously.
