I'm planning for my 15-year-old nephew (Irish passport holder) to stay with me in Thailand for several months starting this August. As his guardian during his stay, we're looking into getting a multi-entry tourist visa for him as we intend to travel within Southeast Asia. I have a couple of questions regarding the financial proof required for his visa application: Does he need to show funds in his own bank account? (he doesn't have one) Is it possible for me to provide proof of my finances along with a sponsorship letter, given I'll be his guardian here? Or, should the proof of funds come from his mother, even though she won't be joining us? Additionally, I'm curious about any specific guardianship documentation that might be needed: Is a notarised letter stating I'll act as his guardian required for the visa application, or is it just necessary at the border and while we're in Thailand? I'm on a marriage visa here and want to make sure we have everything covered to avoid any issues. Any advice, especially from those who've been through a similar process, would be greatly appreciated.

To reserve it but I cancelled after less than 3 hours.

Who said it was an apartment in Bangkok?

I was being told that if I didn't pay immediately I would not be able to rent the property. Yes, stupid mistake but I was under pressure and in haste made a bad decision. It happens. What I really want to know is if there is any recourse for this? It isn't a lot of money. However, based on principle I feel like it is theft and should be addressed in some way if at all possible.

I went to look at renting a home the other day, I was pressured into paying a 15K deposit on the spot which I did and then 3 hours later I contacted the real estate agent to tell them that I did not wish to go through with renting the home. She contacted the property owner who initially refused to pay me back my 15K deposit and then later the next day transferred me back 12K, keeping 3K baht. Is this legal for them to do this? We had no written agreement and I feel like they've basically just stole 3K baht from me.

Ok got it. I will go to immigration and apply for a 60 day extension. ????????????

Thanks ubonjoe. Would the extension based on marriage not still cause the same issue? They'll give me a consideration stamp and then ask me to come back a month after my current visa expires?

When I've done previous extensions, for example, last year I applied on September 2nd. They put a stamp in my passport saying "the applicant must contact this office again in person on 26th October" (the day my visa expired) Are you saying that I can go back and get my new stamp days or weeks before? There is a not in the footer of the list of requirements document that I receive today that says: ** The consideration is 30 days since expired of visa **

Hi all, Wondering if anyone could shed some light on this... My spouse visa is up for renewal on September 26th 2022. I was under the impression that I could apply for a yearly extension up to 45 days before it expires. Problem is... I have a flight booked out of the country on October 5th. I had planned to apply for my extension on August the 15th and get the new visa granted on September 15th (3 weeks prior to my flight) I think I may have messed this up because looking at my passport it looks like even if I apply on August 15th, I will still need to go back to immigration for my stamp on October 26th (at which time I will no longer be in the country) I thought I could go back for my stamp 30 days later on September 15th. 1. Is this accurate? 2. If I leave the country and return in November can I reapply? 3. Can I do a border run (auto cancel my marriage visa) and come back in on a 30 day exception and then apply when I get back to Thailand? 4. Can I mail my passport from my home country and have an agent go to immigration to get my stamp? Many thanks!
