I told them been married 9 years and have applied succesfully for 2 extensions before.
this was my first extension for a few years,and they said you have new visa,if still extended the old one don't need it.
So i have to fly to bangkok to bangrak where i got married and they will write letter for me.tried in the udon amphur office but no luck,this day just keeps getting better.

Do you mean your,''Affirmation to marry''?

Went to apply for one year marriage extension. Previously extended in 2010-2012,anyway applied on Thursday and the lady in the middle said that they wanted the affirmation of marriage been married 10 years, and they are asking for something I don't have.i just been to my embassy and signed a statuary declaration saying something similar to what was said 10 years ago.i have the kor ror song in thai and english everything above board.so the head lady at the embassy rang them direct and with my fresh paperwork will try again next week. Will keep you updated if not will speak to a higher ranking officer/ supervisor. As the embassy checked out all there ranks and miss money penny has stuff all rank.

Could anybody in the forum please post a picture of this "Kor Ro Song" document so that everybody could see how it looks like? Would be graet. Thanks in advance.
My marriage was registered with the ministry of foreign affairs in BKK in 2013. will this replace the "Kor Ro Song" document or is it the same?
i'm a bit confused....

It is hardly surprising that they are clamping down on marriage visas, and I feel for those that use that option, it has steadily got harder and more complicated. Especially when you consider that they have just found 193 foreigners illegally married . if you can revert to retirement visa by far the easier option.

judging from the various paperwork needed to get a Marriage Visa and the innumerable stamps and Immigration officer signatures needed to do them, I wonder when we'll see a news article on possible arrests or suspensions of whichever officers enabled the 193 scam marriage visas?

That FD is the 64,000 dollar question, when will we see anything bad happening to any recalcitrant uniformed officer that has slipped down the path of corrupt practices.
A slide into ignominy I think is the preferred way

I was told today that for an extention they want a document showing the name change for my Thai spouse. What form is this? I thought a marriage certificate was all that wad needed to change the last name on the Thai ID card?

When my wife changed her name on the ID card she was presented with a certificate similar to the wedding certificate, nice swirly colours round the edge, it's a formal document of name change, no other form was given to her but we did fill in a couple that the office kept.
There doesn't seem to be a number on the certificate but I'll ask the wife to have a look tonight.

Is it a requirement for Thai females to change their name upon marriage or can they choose to retain their previous surname?

'No' it is not a requirement for Thai females to change their name upon marriage and 'Yes' they can choose to retain their surname.

Yesterday, for the 22nd consecutive year, I submitted my paperwork for an extension of my non-immigrant ""O"" visa (to support my family). There is a new requirement; the Kor Ror 2 or Kor Ror Song document. To the best of my understanding this is the notations page of my marriage registration. I believe that it should show if I've divorced my wife. On my extension application I say I want an extension ""to support my family."" So, I must show that I am currently married to a Thai national. I remember it like yesterday when we were still looking to buy wedding dresses here four our marriage ceremony. How the times have passed.

Where did I find the Kor Ror 2 document: at the district office where I registered my marriage. In my case they photocopied and certified a couple pages out of their register. This tome has a beautifully handwritten page for my wife and I that says that we freely chose to be married. It's interesting that the notation reflects the Thai custom of registering a marriage after a traditional ceremony and some time of living together; it says that we had lived together for 1 day. I was following the more foreign custom of obtaining a marriage ""license"" before the wedding; we had our wedding the day after we registered.

There is an alternative to going to the district office where you were married. If you were married after 1996 (I could be incorrect on the year; if someone has some more certain information please post it) then your registration is on-line and can be printed out and certified at any district office in your province (or perhaps the whole country).

This is also true for birth certificates. I gave our eldest son his original when he went overseas. The immigration office still wanted a certified birth certificate; his was on-line and could be had from the capitol district office even though we did not register his birth their..

Here is another post with similar information:

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you have gone through the process of obtaining a non-immigrant ""O"" visa before and are now having to deal with the new requirement of the Kor Ror 2 or Kor Ror Song document.

From my understanding, the Kor Ror 2 document is the notations page of your marriage registration. This document is important to show that you are currently married to a Thai national in order to be eligible for the non-immigrant ""O"" visa.

You are correct that you can find the Kor Ror 2 document at the district office where you registered your marriage. However, if you registered for your marriage after 1996, then your registration should be available online and can be printed out and certified at any district office in your province or potentially the whole country.

The same is true for birth certificates - if you registered your child's birth after 1996, their original birth certificate can be found online and certified at the district office.

I hope this information helps. Thank you again for sharing your experience."

Kor Ror 2's are in the government computer system now. No need to go through old dusty tomes to find it or go to the Amphoe where you married. The info is pulled up on a computer terminal, printed, stamped/dated and given to the applicant for a small fee (was it 20 baht?). We just go to the main office down town and it usually takes less than 10 minutes... located here: https://www.google.co.th/maps/@17.41498 ... 8192?hl=th Tiwakan Amphoe Muang Udon Thani
