Yes, it is clearly stated on the immigration website, and that statement is clearly wrong.

For a start, there is no application for something to be granted or rejected. It is important to understand this. There is a notification to be made by the foreigner to "the competent official at the Immigration Division" as prescribed by Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act. It is tacitly understood that the notification must be made in the form required by the immigration office (IO) and the IO can either accept it – tacitly or explicitly – as correctly submitted or, if it is incorrectly or incompletely submitted, inform the foreigner accordingly.

The sentece "If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 5,000.- Baht." is wrong. It is not based on any law or any regulation based on any law. Immigration officials can arrest a foreigner, but the implication that immigration can then fine him 5000 Baht is wrong.

That screen message is erroneous. No "application" for staying longer than 90 days was made. The legally required notification of the intention to stay longer than 90 days was submitted and no apprroval of this notification is legally required.

No law allows immigration officials to issue a fine of "up to 5000 Baht" for the late sumission of the notification of the intention to stay in Thailand longer than 90 days.

Thank you for the update. This means that this topic can now be closed.

This taxation subject is already discussed elsewhere and is out of plase in the visa forum.

Thank you.

Too many bickering posts.

The nephew can get his own non-ED visa and one-year extensions under the clause 2.8 or 2.9, depending on the type of educational institution. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=804079

Who is the child in this scenario? How old is it and what is its nationality?

Seeing that your son is in fact living with you I suggest thar you discuss with your immigration office the possibility of applying for a one-year extension of stay under clause 2.18(5) of this Police Order about extensions: https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=804079

The OP uses the monthly income method, not 800k in the bank.

Is this for the Pattaya immigration office?

The topic title mentions that the OP uses the Pattaya immigration office.

Has this been at the Pattaya immigration office?

I suggest you take Kasikorn's letter in whatever format they are using for their other customers and submit this to immigration. If the official has a problem with it, ask to consult with the chief of the immigration office and if he also has a problem with it, let him call the bank manager. If after the call the chief still refuses, ask him to give it to you in writing, saying that you need it to sue the bank.

Thank you. It makes one wonder whether VFS pays the Buriram immigration office an advertising fee for the placement of the link to their site on a page of the official website of the Buriram immigration office. P.S. It's even worse. The VFS link and an abvertising message about a special inaugural offer are on a page of the Immigration Bureau's official website immigration.go.th, not just on the site of a provincial office.

Something must be wrong with my phone. Tapping on the link you posted displays none of the text quoted in th OP.

The text quoted in the OP is not from the website of the Immigration Bureau. As far as I know, applicants for an extension of stay, which the VFS website seems to mean when they write "visa extension", continue to have the choice of applying directly at the local immigration office.

Agreed

Yes, that sounds right.

It has to be CW, which is obviously your local immigration office, as you did your last extesion of stay there.

I have seen posts indicating that an immigration office granted the extension on the basis of the birth certificate combined with the personal confirmation of the child, who accompanied the father, that the latter was indeed the father and that they lived together. As I remember it, the child had to at least seven years old for this purpose. This procedure may vary from one immigration office to another. @Udonthai 1. How old is your child? 2. Is your child in fact living with you on a continuous basis?

Got it. You are currently on the 90-day permission you received when you entered with a non-O visa, for which you had applied at a Thai embassy for the reason of travelling to Thailand to visit your child of Thai nationality. Now, you wish to apply for a one-year extension of stay for the reason of living with your child. Clause 2.18(5) first paragraph, applies to this. Note: The correct translation of the Thai text would be: "In the case of a parent, that parent must..."
