What Are the Requirements for Renewing a Marriage Visa Extension in Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai Marriage Visa Visa Renewal

Dec 12, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everybody, question regarding Chiang Mai immigration specifically.

I've searched the forum but didn't find the exact answer I'm looking for.

Applying to renew a visa extension for a successive year, for the reason of 'support Thai wife'. Using the 400k seasoned in the bank account as proof of funds.

I got the statements and letters, and updated my bank book today (Thursday). Going to apply on Monday. I've assumed (perhaps incorrectly - please let me know if incorrect) that I can use the letters and statements for 7 days.

Here are the questions:

Do I need to update the bank book on the same day that I apply for the visa too, or can I use the version dated today only?

And, for bonus points: what's the wait like at Chiang Mai immigration for a marriage extension nowadays? Do I need to get there crazy early in the morning? I'll have a 2-week old baby with me all day too so hoping to make the process as smooth as possible.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately no one can predict how many people are going to be there the day you go, as a rule Monday and Friday are bad days (as are days after a holiday) BUT I'd say if you get there by 7:30-8:00 you would be done by lunch (however that is just a guess)

The bank book needs to be updated on the date you apply AND depending on the office you might also need to have the bank letter dated that day too (although most allow you to use a bank letter dated within 7 days).

Might be a bit cheeky... are you allowed to get a space in the queue then nip off and update the book while waiting?
