  1. Double entry tourist visa and 2 60 day extensions = 240 days

    You can't use a 60 days extension of the first entry, because visa validity is 3 months. But on the second entry you can try to get 30 days tourist extension first, and then the 60 days one.

    Also, if you have legalized your child you may be able to get a multi entry non-imm. 'O' visa in Savannakhet.

    Thanks Paz. I have indeed.

  2. HI folks,

    Recently separated from the GF (never married her) we have daughter together. My Visa will run out soon. What possible extensions can I get?

    Can I get the same extension of stay that I am currently on (one year extension of stay based on being father of thai child) ?

    I do not live with the Ex gf (obviously, duh!) or the little one.

    What are my options?

    Thank you kindly in advance.

  3. You do not apply at or pick up from the British Embassy.

    Everything you need to know should be here:

    Thanks Lite beer,

    I see I apply at application centre trendy towers and collect from there also. Did I read that right?

    Went over the link, all subsequent links also. Can anyone confirm they had to send their full passport as ID document?

    Or do we just have to show the old (about to expire) passport that is getting renewed to staff at trendy?

    Just questioning..being abroad and sending off your passport..sounds iffy!

    FYI, renewable at anytime, only a max of 9 months of the time remaining will be added to the new passport.

    hank you kindly in advance.

    Edit: On the off chance any of you guys know of anywhere I can get Documents Translated from Spanish to English by a legal official translator?

  4. Hi people,

    few questions, keep it short and simple as possible.

    1) How long before my passport expires do I have to renew it..6mo..1 year. My passport expires October next year but my year long extension take me

    past the renewal date. I would like to renew asap..at the soonest possible point.

    2) read on this forum, an interview required..is this true? or wind up? simply you have to apply in person.

    3) Do I need some sort of proof of address in Thailand. I may have something, or I may have nothing! what is accepted? , separating from the mrs only

    official documents I have are either in Thai (from the kiddo's school) or in Spanish from their social security same address..Oh and Immigration, well her house

    just not trusting of a passport to be delivered there!

    4) can I not pick the new passport from the embassy? instead of being sent to a Thai address?

    5) Does my passport need to be countersigned? UK national? EU national accepted? is it a must...being a miserable old bastard out the hilly billy land don't know any UK nationals or any EU national english speakers! Help..any suggestions if I do need a counter signature?

    Thank you kindly, in advance.

  5. You can legally adopt her here. How old is she? she can go to the amphur and make a written statement that she want you to be her father.

    Ask your wife to talk with Poo Yai ban, as he may be required at family court to make a witness statement that you all been together as a

    family.

    You are best to head to court and talk with lawyer officer there due to the legality process. After that, get the adoption registered at the UK embassy, as

    gaining UK nationality via adoption is a possibility but obviously has to be proper 100% legit bonafide legal adoption before she can get a UK Passport.

    You can contact the UK embassy and ask few questions there, best shot!

    Oh and there is an age limit for adoption, looked into it about a year back can't remember what it is.

    Good luck.

  8. You may be in Thailand if you see someone running after a tuk-tuk/songteaw and "it" looks like a cross between Dolly Parton and Linford Christie

    You may have been in Thailand if you have forfeited a pool league match 'cos the opposition was a team of transvestites and there was no "<deleted>" way you were for bending over the table in front of them!

  9. You have have been it Thailand if you have seen a city map with a blue square in the middle of it!
