When my husband and I got married, I was on a tourist visa.

9:30 AM - Go to register the marriage. Told I need a Foreigner Registration card (didn`t have one as I was on a tourist visa).
10:30 AM - Run around getting the necessary photos.
12:30 PM - Finish registration, and receive the "Processing" paper.
13:00 PM - Register the marriage.
14:30 PM - Apply for a spouse visa. (We`d asked father-in-law for the letter of sponsorship beforehand)

A week later, received a postcard telling me the visa was ready. Went the next day to pick it up.

Another week or so later, received the actual foreigner card... And had them amend it on the spot to show the new visa information.

So... It can be that easy. Will it be for the original poster? I have no idea.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
