Hi you all.

Here are the basics. I am British, My son,11 years old British/Thai. My Wife Thai. Married 16 years, lived in Thailand 16 years. I pay UK tax,have National insurance number,UK banks etc. My wife has a 10 year UK visa, which allows her to stay 6 months a year in UK.

Next year we want to get our son into a Secondary school in the UK. We have this organized ok.

We cannot afford to buy a house, nor can we show the 70K+ savings to get my wife a full stay visa.

We have accommodation fixed up to start it all rolling.

Bottom line:

After my son starts school is there any way she could get an extension to stay, based on the welfare of the child?

We do have a plan if its not possible, but somewhere i read once about extensions based upon compassionate grounds for the child's welfare.

Thanks to read this far,life in the land of (false) smiles interesting indeed

all the best

Brainless, most Gov agencies are, the military compounds the problems further .

The army think they can get away with everything, but watch my words, a civil war is what's in the brewing process.

Very true they are in for a nASTY shock soon me thinks

He should fight against Thailand from OUTSIDE he just cannot win. The Army/yellows/rich will lock him up,poor deluded man

good luck girl give them a run for thier money

This would not happen in my homeland in Mongolia, we are democratic not like here, going just like North Korea

## Its a long way to Ulaanbaatar

Its a long way to go.

Its long way to Ulaanbaatar

to the sweetest land I know

Good bye Rachadami farewell Siam square

Its long long way to Ulaanbaatar

But my heart is there##

GOOD LUCK YINGLUCK

well probably the simple truth is they are PISSED OFF with Thailand, and cannot find a way back,simple really, so why not let moan here

You are best out of it Thailand a pile of CRAP

Thailand is VSF

Exit plan you guys, its going to get a lot worse he wants a Nation of well educated Parrots!

Its Like Shagging for virginity

So Junta bad for economy, but good for the happy few,Thaksin bad for a lot of farang (why I don't know) but good for economy...

There are many foreigners who have a partner from the north east that think Yingluck and Thaksin are wonderful.

They WHERE good for Thailand, its the Change that they would create that gave the rich the Sh***Ts

A plot from the Army,Sethup,the courts, the rich,the elite they are not leaving any time soon, better find an exit plan guys, they don't like/want us

All politically motivated the last 12 years round and around so that the fanatical yellow brigade could re take power

whats wrong with thai bashing them seems a sensible thing

good luck ying luck

I'm not knocking such idealism, but I'm guessing the OP hasn't lived in Thailand very long.

21 years to be exact, working then still

Its Thailand. It belongs to the Thai people, they dont want falangs coming along & telling them what the rules should be.

Well of course its not going to be easy,but you think Thailand DEPENDS on so many many Farangs, ,not your average drunks in bars, people, working,investment, its huge

Please let me know how you get on?

wEll have a nice day and as ever heads in the sand

It seems to me that Thai visa has a unique opportunity to represent expats and to try to get a better deal from immigration. Now I don't really know just how many subscribe to Thai visa, buts its a lot. So how about Thai visa organising a an OPEN LETTER to our dear new Leader.

An open letter to be publish in the most prominent news papers, at least a quarter page, in Both Thai and English.

The cost must come from all the Expats,Thai visa would arrange payments from every one to cover the news paper slots.Maybe a 1000 baht each??

The open letter should address the following points

* Unacceptable waiting and and general conditions at Immigration offices

* To discontinue the 90 day alien report

* Start issuing two/three year visas for folks working here,who contribute to Thailand's Progress

* Start issuing longer term Visas for folks who have been here over 10 years, family,house, a life.

* Is it right professional people be expected to start queuing at 04,00 hrs in the morning, just to have a chance being seen that day.

Well Im sure there are lots of problems involved, non the least politics?? Maybe they would lock us up

Happy new year
