Thanks for the useful info again. All I can do is try I suppose and if it hasn’t been approved before the 60 days I’ll just have to wait. thx again

The IO did say to keep in contact with her through line after a few weeks as she said good chance it’ll be ready before the 60 days. is this correct??

Yes I was applying 30ish days early. so this is the reason I was given 60 days?

Had an issue renewing my yearly extension on dependant visa for being sole guardian to my son the other day also, mine was up country and not in bkk. This is my 5th extension I was going for and had all documents x 2 ( salary income for proof of income for 12 months, bank statements, court and amphur docs stating I’m sole guardian, anyway all docs were correct but they was trying there hardest to refuse it or find something wrong!! had to go back the following day with a Thai witness saying it was my kid etc etc. Wanted my parents names and dates of births, the witness also her families details and their blue books, they was just making it as difficult as possible. Also got 60 day under consideration stamp instead of usual 30!! I don’t understand why this year they made it so difficult…. They made me feel like I was doing something illegal, when everything was in order and all docs correct!!

I had to sign the papers. I’m a single father so this is the reason I bought it in his name , his mother not involved in anyway. I suppose it all depends on the office and the person in the office dealing with the signing over. I had to show all my court docs and docs from amphur and it took more or less the whole day as they wasn’t so sure what way to go about it, but got it in my sons name in the end. Also the person I bought the house from was there to help me do it all.

Bought a house few months back and put it in my sons name who is 5 years old. His name is all that is on the chanote.

The lady we dealt with today said that I will get yellow book when we put my sons name in the new blue book and she said any problem to contact her direct. I stay in a small town so hopefully it’s like she says and no issues.... if I don’t get it no big deal just have to show immigration that my sons name is on chanote for my place of residence I suppose as he’s too young to sign any papers he’s only 5.

Hi all, Just an update in regards to buying a house in my kids name. we completed it today and his name is on chanote, have to go amphur tomorrow and get his name in blue book and have been told a yellow book should be issued to me also. I should add I didn’t use my lawyer like I mentioned I was going to, went with person I bought the house from and it was all transferred to my sons name. Quite a long day but quite straight forward. thanks for everyone’s input on this Matter.

What is usufruct? I’ve never heard this before. Also like someone else mentioned can I not go ‘manager’? sorry to hear about your adoption but I believe it’s very difficult to near impossible to adopt in Thailand with what I’ve been reading and been told, so your not the only one. I would believe getting a child put on the house name would be simpler than adopting.

Yeah that’s correct. Like I said previous reply it’s a small town and getting things their over the years at different offices has been no problems, but like u say if the person i see on that day don’t like foreigners them I’m fkd but hopefully with a lawyer assisting me on the day it’ll make it possible.

Yeo totally understand mate. I think it depends on the land office where you are based also, like all offices in Thailand. I stay in a smallish town and all other government offices there are quite relaxed so I’m hoping it’s granted but i will find out when I go for it.

I appreciate your input and good to know. like I said all I can do is try I suppose, I’d they do say no I’ll need to look at other options. Let’s say if it does get approved do you know if I’d be entitled to a yellow book or how would it work for immigration as my kid is only 5 and can’t be issuing docs to immigration himself.

I spoke to my lawyer about it on the phone not a proper consultation, the same lawyer who got me custody of my kid and she has said this is the way to do it. Why do u think the land office would say no but my lawyer says it’ll be fine? I think she would know more about Thai law, no??

I have full I have full custody of my kid from the courts and amphur so his mum isn’t around and has no say in this matter. Any idea how that would work with no Thai mother been involved? is it still possible to do what I’m asking? cheers

Oh... that’s good to know. so the kids name would go on the deeds/blue book no matter what age?
