Who is the "they" you are referring to? The airline?

Immigration

Immigration - @raypaton

Why then would immigration state the need for an onward ticket if it isn't a requirement?

I asked whether it might be the airline asking for proof of onward travel because we have seen that quite often on the Vietnam forum. As with Thailand's immigration department, Vietnam immigration likewise does not require an onward ticket.

@mascot64

If they cannot see reason - which common sense would say they should, buy a ticket to a neighboring country that you can cancel then cancel it

thanks for the replys

To renew your marriage visa do you have to apply within a certain time frame before your present visa runs out

@mascot64 on your last question: the yearly extension based on marriage is filed at your local immigration office before your current permission to stay expires. Many offices accept it from 30 days before expiry; ask yours.

On the marriage side, have these ready before you go, because they are the usual hold ups:

1. Your Thai marriage certificate (Kor Ror 3) and a recently issued copy of the marriage registration (Kor Ror 2) from the district office, or the Kor Ror 22 record if the marriage was registered abroad. Many offices want these issued within the last few weeks.
2. Your wife's ID card and house book, and photos of you together at home.
3. The financial evidence your office requires.

If the marriage was registered abroad, it normally needs to be recorded in the family status register at the district office first: the foreign certificate is legalised, translated into Thai and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the district office then records it (Kor Ror 22).
