ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for an annual visa renewal in Thailand, such as a Non-O visa based on marriage, local immigration offices generally do not hold the original passport for the entire period of consideration (typically 3-4 weeks). However, some offices may keep the passport for a few days during the application process. Personal experiences vary, with some individuals reporting that their passport was not held in past renewals, while others experienced a hold in certain situations.
