As said, do not wait until 31st.

Go a few days earlier in case of problems.

Go to immigraiton with birth certificate, court document showing you are the father, you daughter and her ID-card and household registration book. That should be enough to give you a 60 day extension.

Is your daughter registered on a household book elsewhere than where she is actually living with you? In that case immigration might want to see proof of where you/she really lives in the form of a rentl contract, utillity bill etc.

If you are married to a Thai or have Thai children you can get a 60 day extension for visiting them, otherwise your only options are getting a Tourist visa in a neighboring country or doing border runs and getting visa exempt entries, 30 days by air, 15 days by land.

But you are free to exit and obtain a tourist visa for a new 60 day stay from any Thai Consulate if you are not able to continue extensions - that would cover the period of time you require. It only takes an overnight trip most places.

Well if I have to travel out of Thailand after January31st,then I would travel to a neighboring country and get a new Non OM visa,but i really want to avoid travelling out if it is possible

As a tourist visa at half the price would serve your needs not sure why you would not use it.

Sorry forgot to mention 60 day extension for having a Thai child. You might still get the run around from your immigration office abut proof of residence. Take your daughter and her birth certificate and etc. to immigration and apply for extension to visit her.

If you have proof of custody for your child you could get the multiple entry visa in Savannakhet Laos or KL Malaysia.

60 days from immigration to visit your Child but......

As you don't want to deal with Immigration (I understand why not) you are going to have to go to a Thai Consulate and get a Tourist Visa.

But you are free to exit and obtain a tourist visa for a new 60 day stay from any Thai Consulate if you are not able to continue extensions - that would cover the period of time you require. It only takes an overnight trip most places.

What kind of extension of stay do you have? Retirement, Marriage, work, and etc.

Why can't you get your extension done?

Unless you are married to a Thai lady (60 days) there is no extension you can get other than one year.

Hi i have problems to extend my stay,1year ,extension of stay will end on January 31st!.March 13th I will travel to California,USA,so I need any kind of visa from January31st till March13[41days].What are my options?I would like to stay till March13 without leaving Thailand .

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi u use ip4s or5 with ios6?then its not 3bb problem

100,000 Baht in the bank has been a requirement in KL for ages when applying for a Non Imm O Visa based on having a Thai Wife.

You do not have a Thai Wife so would not have been asked for this.

Being Married (truly) to a THai I found 2 options for me.

!.) Extendtion based on Marraige

or

2.) Non Om visa.

The extendtion route you can maybe stay in Thailand, First you need to start with a Non O visa. Have 400,000 in the bank for over 2 months, have a home inspection, neighbor interviews, etc. So if you start with a Non o you don't have to leave but have Immigration all over you life and several visit to Immigration.

On the other hand, the Non Om I only need 100,000 in any bank anywhere and only needs to be there a day prior. No interview, no home inspections, easy. Yes I have to leave, but enjoy the time traveling and exploring near by countries. Can be for an hour or several days, just doesn't matter.

Most trying to get a extendtion based on Marriage are strongly advised to go the retirement route. I want to work so that is not an option.

Traveling clears my head and shows me what is good and what is not in Thailand.

It also helps my wife better understand the world around her. Something most Thai's just don't understand

Hi just curious,why you had to show 100000bt?I thought you must show 400000 income or pension per yr,did anything changed?

The OP was talking about a Non-O multiple entry visa applied for outside Thailand.

Evidence of having 100,000 baht is what is required for a Non-O VISA to be issued OUTSIDE Thailand, ie like the OP did in KL.

Evidence of having 400,000 baht SEASONED + proof of income is what is needed for an EXTENSION (of a VISA) applied for INSIDE Thailand as a person married to a Thai national.

Evidence of having 800,000 baht SEASONED + proof of income is what is needed for an EXTENSION (of a VISA) applied for INSIDE Thailand as a retiree.

And to recap; if on an multi-entry VISA, the holder should normally leave and re-enter the country every 90 days. OK for workers and wanderers and the OP. If on an EXTENSION (of a VISA) and not traveling outside Thailand, the holder needs to report every 90 days to local immigration, either personally or via mail. HOWEVER, if the holder of an EXTENSION (of a VISA) applies for a multiple RE-ENTRY permit, he can leave and re-enter Thailand as many times as he likes and only need to report personally to local immigration before any single stay in Thailand EXCEEDS 90 days.

Back On Topic! The OP mentions that apart from seeing new places, traveling outside Thailand keeps his view on what is good and bad in LOS in perspective as well as letting his good wife broaden her horizons. I consider this WONDERFUL and reckon that a fair few of the bitter and twisted, cynical and misogynistic posters on this forum may consider this a cure for what ails them... if they can afford the ticket.

To the ones that say that forking out $500-$1000 on a visa trip locally every year is excessive, there are cheaper alternatives such as Vientiane and Savannakhet. For those that claim flying further afield is expensive, you know the date your visa is 'due' so there's absolutely nothing stopping you booking the flights on a low-cost carrier up to 12 months in advance and saving a whole lot of money. Personally, the absolutely hassle-free ease of getting a multi-entry Non-O visa in my home country (the UK) is well worth return air-fare once a year and the wife is getting used to the snow as well!

I once had a slightly similar problem but nothing to do with immigration. My company needed a short term let of a house for a foreign staff member but since the company was paying, we needed a receipt (and contract). The landlord at first refused but relented when we offered to pay the 12.5% tax he would have been liable for.

Perhaps if your rent isn't too high, you could make an offer like that. It will almost certainly be what the landlord is worried about.

The rent is not high at all,but the landlord is renting a few of his houses to cambodians,they work here in chickenfarms and

some laundry factories,I'm not so sure they all stay legal here,I guess that's maybe one reason why he don't want to deal with immigration

You just want to stay here legally & properly so you can take care of your daughter but you're prevented from doing that because everyone else breaks the law with impunity. I really empathise with you.

It's very difficult to have any respect for the law in Thailand sometimes.

There will be a solution though.

go quickly move into a guesthouse, have your rental address i.e. the guesthouse recorded on the receipt slip. This should serve as a proof of residence !

After your renewal, you and your girlfriend should try to rent something new, with proper rental contracts etc.

neighbors to find out I really stay here,so I'm not really sure if it is a good idea to move into a guesthouse,besides that I can't think of any guesthouses around.Here is upcountry,

If your girlfriend rents the house and you live there, I think it would be her that could potentially be in trouble for not reporting a foreigner living there, not the landlord. But I suspect that the reason the landlord won't give you a contract is he is afraid of the tax department finding out.

What about your girlfriend subletting part of the house to you and making a contract to that effect?

EDIT: Just reread your post and see that immigration are demanding copy of the landlord's Tabien Baan too, so this won't work.

You must be extending your stay based on retirement. Or is you Daughter Thai?

Try bribing the Landlord. Buy him a bottle of whisky or something.

If I were you I would find another house to live.

The Landlord sounds a right idiot and you are going to get this problem every year.

Yes he does have to report a foreigner staying in his house.

If Immigration will only accept documents from the house holder and he refuses I cannot see a lot you can do.

He will get fined for failing to report an alien staying in his house and kick you out anyway.

Why would your GF want to continue living there anyway?

Can't you rent somewhere else cheap and get documents from them?

Have you not got a friendly Phu Yai Baan who could verify where you live?Puyai Baan verifyed for me, already,last yr,and this yr too,but immigration does not care that.My gf works for government here Livestock departement,so she will sure not quit her job,and to find another house for rent is not easy,we are looking actually since last year January 2012.

You will not get a Multi Entry O Visa for retirement in Asia.

Sorry not much help.

Hi was two days ago at Lopburi immigration to extend my stay for another year,it would be my 3rd extension.They refused to accept my documents,because

I do not have a rental contact or any house papers of the owners house I'm staying in.My Thai gf is renting the house,she also has no contract,last year the owner refused to give a rental contract or to sign any documents what showing I'm staying in this house,so we went to the district mayor,and he certified I'm staying there,immigration was happy with that,and after 1 month I got my extension of stay.This year immigration refuse to accept my documents as long I can't show a valid rental contract plus house papers from owner,on top the immigration told me to tell the owner of the house he will get problems if he is not reporting to immigration a foreigner stays in his house.

Any idea how I can get my extension of stay without getting kicked out of the house?My extension ends on January 31st

Today I talked with Thai embassy Kuala Lumpur on the phone,told them my story,and asked if they can issue a 1yr Single or Multi Non O visa,answer was:"

Sorry we can not issue a visa for you,you should get extension of stay in from immigration in Thailand,

Well where is it possible to get a Non O visa without flying back to Europe,if it is not possible what other options I have?

thanks for any ideas

I'm 49 yrs old

German citizen

Non O visa holder,because taking care my Thai daughter

Dual pricing is illegal.

Are you sure? What about the Grand Palace?

Many countries practice it. In Florida for example, residents get on many rides cheaper than visitors.

IN the UK too, where I come from, some golf courses give discount to locals. There's nothing wrong with it IMHO.

IN Thailand also, if you are a resident and show either work permit or tax receipt or driver's license you won't have to pay the tourist price.

Time to send in the army and just blow them all away, this is bullshit, killing innocent people in the name of your god, what a load of crap.

How about starting to punish some Thai generals for the Takbae incident?How about starting to accept the religion,culture and history of those"terrorists"The Thai education system teaches only about history of Thailand,Bangkok,the Thais just ignore everything.The local language in the south is yawee[a malay dialect]they are forcing the kids to speak thai and learn about thai culture only..They force muslims to say buddhist prayers and wear thai style clothes.These are the reasons why school get burned down or teachers get killed.They force them to change their names in thai sounding names.

Army or poilice come at night into muslim houses and take the sons away.Army and police torture them and kill them.Neevr anybody of army or police got punished for their doing.They building buddhist temples in predominantly muslim areas.They let muslims bow in front of buddha statues or pictures of the king,which is an offence to their religion,the army searches muslim houses with dogs,just to insult the muslim religion.

You will not build peace as long politicians,police and army go free for their state crimes.

I'm non religious,but thought some facts should be said

Your statement about muslims having to pray to buddha is a disgusting lie and you know it !!!! And will it it hurt you to kneel in front of the picture of the monarch which is normal in most monarchies?

And muslims have all the opportunity to practice their religion,while many muslims does the most to prevent buddhist doing the same.

Both sides off the conflict must give some way or another,as for the idea to give these 3 regions autonomy or selv goverment.............if any idea ever was dead borned,this is and will never happen !!

I asked the same question last year. I was informed that you must still do the 90 day report as you were in the country for 90 days. Not doing it could lean to the 2,000 THB fine.

You can report up to 15 days early, of course.
