There are not separate Non-ED visas for adults and children.

What? Only five steps to go through the process?

Your child's visa-exempt entry will give it 30 days permission to stay. At the local immigration office, apply within the first ten days after arrival for the non-ED visa, which gives your child 90 days permission to stay. Within the the last 30 days of this stay, apply for a one-year extension. The school will help with this and provide the necessary documents required by immigration. Allow the child's school to guide you through both steps of this process.

Thank you for going to test this yourself. Be aware, though, that there are some sites that offer fake bookings and if they are honest they say so on the site, eg https://keyflight.io/fake May I suggest, therefore, that you use the site mentioned in this topic, onwardticket.com, for your test and have your friends in the airline industry run it through the motions that check-in staff use. Somebody mentioned PNR (Passenger Name Record) but looking at my wife's recent flight tickets they show no PNR. Someone mentioned that the passenger's surname and the 8-digit alphanumeric booking reference is typed into a form on a webpage that lets anyone, not just check-in staff, verify any ticket of any IATA airline and any passenger. I once had the URL but forgot it. amadeus.com or something like that, or perhaps that one is outdated and something new is used now? Then, of course, the ticket can also be looked up on the site of the airline that issued it, but the passenger's own login is probably required for that.

Why would you have to go to the immigration office before "going on a trip"? You submitted your notification of staying longer than 90 days and therefore have complied with this legal requirement. If the immigration office has some internal procedure that requires them to send you an "approval" of I don't know what and does not send you this "approval", this is nothing to do with you.

The UK police, ie Action Fraud, which is the national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime and collects reports about fraud on behalf of the police in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, has already been involved.

The way I read the opening post of this topic, Ubonquest is currently on the 90-day permission to stay he received on entering with his "marriage visa", and the extension he meant to do would have been his first application for a one-year extension of stay for the reason of living with his wife, the so-called marriage extension.

No, this is not what happened here. You wrote "the requirement to show £5000 in a UK account remains" The phishing email the OP received asked for documents evidencing GBP 10,000

No.

Thank you, Cleopatra2, for having made these inquiries. I thought I remembered clearly having seen, some years ago, "for the remainder of the life" or something like that on the website of immigration or the MfA or a Thai embassy but as I could not now find a link to it I thought that I must have dreamt it and decided not to mention it.

You will travel to Thailand twice within a 12-month period. A multiple-entry tourist visa (METV) will not give you permission to stay for two months with every visit but it will give you 60 days. These 60 days will cover your Feb-Mar visit. If you need a full two months for the Oct-Nov visit, you can get a 30-day extension of stay for THB 1,900 No insurance is needed to get the METV.

@ewelve Have you contacted your credit card issuer to suspend or cancel the card and to claim the visa fee back?

I think it is in good hands with the British police. If necessary, they will co-ordinate with the Thai police.

I believe I used thai2english.com to split term up into parts to try and get a feeling for the meaning. ใช้ชีวิต [to] live ; spend one's life ; make a living ใน in;of บั้นปลาย last part; last section

There is a well-founded suspicion that the website of the Thai embassy in London may have been hijacked by spammers.

It is necessary to show your passport when you check in for your flight.

The crazy – nay, ridiculous – part is that the e-visa application site makes you upload a copy of the ID page of your passport, yet still make you type in your name, passport number, birth date, and other details that could be filled in automatically using the data in the machine-readable code at the bottom of that passport page, and after having collected that duplication of data the program does not automatically compare it and alert you of any error. And they call it Thailand 4.0, whatever they mean with it.

That is: the law only specifically excludes those on transit or tourist visas. Other restrictions are as prescribed by the Minister, and are subject to change without needing cabinet approval, but must be published in the Government Gazette... Generally, some sections of a law ask the competent Ministry to issue regulations, as you mention, and sometimes a Ministerial regulations asks or authorises a department to issue more detailed rules. The requirement shown in Section 11(1) of the Alien Working Act, "having been permitted entry into the Kingdom for temporary stay under the law on immigration but not as tourist or in transit" is worded as follows at the top of this list of necessary qualifications issued by the DoE:
