Hi, I am a 55 year old Brit that has brought up my Thai daughter alone since she was 1 years old. She is now 16 almost 17. She lives with me. I have never been married. I have a court order confirming me as being her father from a Thai Family Court. I am due to do my 12 month extension again shortly. Normally as part of the long list of documentation I have to submit I have to take photos of her and me inside and outside of the school and also a letter from the school confirming that she is a student. She quit school 4 months ago and currently isn't working. Will this affect my application for a 12 months extension on my Non-O Guardian Visa and do I need any additional documentation now that she has quit school? Thanks. PS - For numerous reasons I am not interested in getting a retirement visa.

I am a very experienced British Engineer that has been based in Thailand for 24 years. I have assisted international companies to set up manufacturing facilities in Thailand in Automotive, Aerospace, Electronic and other industries. I design world class factory layouts, project manage machine installation, design and outsource ancillary manufacturing equipment and have in depth experience of lean manufacturing techniques. Additionally I can speak Thai to a reasonable level. I am now looking for my next project. I work on an hourly/contract basis. Please PM me if you know of anyone who needs assistance in these areas.
