Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines. Go with the docs and ID we have....

No, not at all.

I want to get a Thai passport for my 14-yr old Thai national son. He was born here and has a Thai birth certificate and Thai ID card. I am NOT married to the mother. From what I read the mother needs to get a certificate of Parental Power - Por Kor 14 from the local Ampur office. My Thai 1-year Non-Immigrant "O" visa is based on support of my child, and I have the documentation from the Ampur confirming this. But the Por. Kor. 14 means she has sole guardianship of my son - which she does not. I really don't want to hassle with "the father of the applicant cannot sign the parental consent form alone unless there is a court order granting sole guardianship to the father." Has anyone gotten a Thai passport for their minor son/daughter lately, and what documents did you need? Other suggestions? Thanks so much.

https://pattayaone.news/online-visa-extensions-for-expats/ - "The Immigration Bureau (IB) unveiled its Electronic Extension of Temporary Stay (e-Extension) service". Hey, what's happening with this "Online visa extensions for Expats"? Only in BKK, but is it up and running? Anybody use it? I guess it's for a very limited group of expats - https://thaiextension.vfsevisa.com/document-information

I rec'd my Form 7162 in mid-July, but was waiting for my son's Form 7161 so I could return them in one envelope. Form 7161 never arrived, so I sent them both via FAX, and did NOT send either form via mail.

FAX'ed my 7162 and the 7161 for my dependent last Friday. Confirmed FAX rec'd via FaxZero. Is that much different than EMS confirmation? If SS loses it, or doesn't enter it, still have to resend....

I received the 7162 for myself in mid-July, but I have NOT received the 7161 for my dependent son. If the 7161 does not arrive shortly I will download and return it with the 7162. I live in Chanthaburi province.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who hasn't received it.
