Ok update on visa situation after visiting cheang wattana (and what a building that government complex is i was very impressed)
I am reliably informed that for all first time changes of visa type they must be done from the central immigration department at CW ,
So after the 5 hour drive to bkk we slept at a friends room and took a taxi in the morning to the local ampher where we got married to obtain a copy of my affirmation to marry first in the queue and away in less than 10 minutes copies in hand
then the next taxi was to CW after being dropped in the wrong bloody place and dodging all the men who wanted to do our visa for anywhere between 40000 and 20000 baht we finally found the main building and entered where we had to check our forms again to make sure they were all in order and they were then we waited in line to be given a ticket for our place at the next desk quite quick and painless so far then first desk i extended my existing visa for 30 days cost 1900 baht and change was returned to me
Next back to the queue to get a ticket for the other side of the office to change to non o visa ticket was issued and we had 23 people in front of us
so we patiently waited counting down until 12 pm when we all got thrown out due to lunchtime
so after a dubious meal we returned to patiently wait and eventually got called up and our application was checked and scrutinised and then we were asked to see the required documents (all ok so far) all copies in order ,ok can i see the original wedding certificate please ,no problem feeling quite pleased with my self ok and your wifes blue book original as well ,Yes no problem Nok can i have the blue book please
?? What do you mean you gave it back to your mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so off she goes to the local office by taxi bike to acquire an authenticated copy from them and that was that ,oh yes except we have to go back in 2 weeks for the verdict
