family law - child custody

Also to apply for 6 month multiple-entry business Visa make sure your passport validity is at least 18 months.

Usually they don't give 12 months multiple-entry Visa. But I know one of my friends got it. Good luck.

Yes you need. Make sure you bring the necessary documents.

1) 2 passport sized white-background photo.

2) photocopy of your passport (1st page only).

3) booking resit of your air ticket.

4) passport (6 month validity minimum).

5) application form (you can get it there for free. Photocopy is acceptable).

hello guys,

another question that just came to mind that i forgot to ask when i was at the visa office.

with the tourist visa do i have to have a return flight or is a one way flight ok?

thanks for the info!

cheers

No need. Since you already got the tourist Visa so you can just book your return ticket there.

However i would recommend you to book it early in Thailand as Internet there is slow and sometimes not available. If you buy over the counter you will need to pay cash only.

Hello everybody,

I have just applied for my visa a few minutes back and I would like to post some information on that, which i couldn't find in this forum.

First of all it is really easy to get there, just take BTS and get off at Surasak Station, take Exit 3 and walk to the right, after about 150 m you can see the wall of the myanmar embassy already, just turn left there and you will see a grey metal door to the visa section.

For those of you who did not bring all the required stuff, there is a copy shop just another 50 meters down the road on the right side, there are direction signs on the wall just from the visa office's door, so you can't miss it.

You can get the visa application form there and you can copy the photo page of your passport. If you did not bring passport photos (or as me, photos with a background that is not white) you can also make your passport photos there. (photos, passport copy and application form will cost you 158 THB).

So actually i arrived there about 8am, got the photos and visa application and got in line in front of the visa office at 8:15. I was seventh in line, when they opened at 9am there were about 30 people in line, i walked out of the office by 9:10 again already, so actually not as bad as i have read in some other forums, but i might just have picked a not so busy day.

It is written there that you can only get the express visa if you show them an airplane ticket. That is just not true, i asked if i could pick it up the next day (which costs 1030 THB) and i was told that Tuesday (as Monday is closed due to holiday) will be very busy so i should pick it up today in the afternoon (1260 THB).

In fact it was really no big deal, i was a little worried that i would have to wait for 3 or more days but it turned out to be just fine.

So enjoy your trip to Myanmar everybody!

cheers

Can anyone recommend a good family law firm in Songkhla / Hat Yai areas? Thanks.

I met my wife last weekend and apparently she did not register my name on the birth certificate. Subsequently i asked a friend of mine staying at Hat Yai to find out whether it is possible to add my name on it. He told me that i have to go back to the hospital where the child is born and update the birth paper by the doctor in charge. Then bring the paper to the Amphur where she register my child to change it, with both parent present. I think is quite simple of the process. I shall see what to do next.

chance that the baby is black and not yours ??? reason for running away as she knew 9 months ago ?

I would really appreciate if you are unable to contribute please leave this thread and go some place else. Your question is not funny at all.

Ok. Thank You.

Dear Mario. Just wondering is there a dress code for going to the Ampur. When i go for holiday i like to wear shorts and i not sure whether it is allowed to go into the Ampur. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I shall update here if anything happen next week.

My wife said she did put my name on the hospital paper (dun know what it call) when the baby is born but not yet register at the Ampur yet. Does it make any difference?

Thank you all for your replies. Mario, do you know that if it is more than 30 days can parents still register their child with the Ampur? I am asking this because i will be seeing my wife in Hat Yai next week. My baby is 3 months old and she was born at Hai Yai hospital. Cheers!

You mean that even we are married in Malaysia the Thai government still recognize it? My name is not on the child birt cert which i think will be troublesome to convince the Thai authority. Thanks.

Thanks for reply.

My wife and I are not married in Thailand but legally married in Malaysia. You can view the details of my story in the following link:

(Orient Expat Forum under " My wife left to Thailand with our baby and never want to come back again" p/s I can't post the link!!

She has done much damages to me and joint custody is not what I wanted. i want the child to live with me in Malaysia and by looking at it I shall have very little chance of getting that verdict. In fact I had contacted Issan Lawyer and they told me abuout the same thing. Both wife and husband must agreed on the place the child to be resided and if no agreement achieved then the court will decide for us. The problem is to covince the judge that the child is better off staying with the father as it is hard to prove it. I have also thinking of take the child out of the country quietly but after reading many of the posts I realized that it is a crime on human trafficking. I only see my child once on the first day she was born. As you notice what I had posted her behavior has been puzzling me for many months. I am thinking if money is what she want then I shall divorce her in malaysia and move on with my life.

The ID number is shown on her passport. You can use that number to trace her family record. Cheers.

To cut long story short. My wife left to Thailand last year August durng prenancy in Malaysia. She delivered a baby girl in Hat Yai in December the same year. She is currently staying in Kolat with her sister. No matter how many times i requested her to return but she refused. She want to stay in Thailand with the child and requested me to send her money every month, or pay her a big lump sum of money to get the child back. My name is not on the child's birt cert as she ran away after delivery in Hat Yai to Kolat without my knowledge. I know this forum deals a lot on this matter that's why i am here to seek your helps. Thank You.
