Hi. Cannot help with type of visa but if you need a very good profesional high grade Thai lawyer i can recomend one. I am in Khon Kaen. She is a lady and does lot of work for government departments. Helped a lot of ex pats up here and other places.

She could help you fight your husband conditions. Contact me if you need her details. You can call or mail her with your problem and she will tell you your rights and get them for you. She is narried to an Australian PHD guy and they are close friends of ours.

Thank you so much. I will let you know if I need her contact no.  Hope this divorcing process doesn't get complicated?

There is the 365-day extension of stay based on being the "Guardian of a Thai child".   The approval of your ex may be an issue though.  

This extension is very similar to that based on marriage   However, it does not require the 400k to be in the bank for two months before first applying for the extension.   I have used it a couple of time when getting 800k into the bank in time was a problem.

Thanks for the information!

Do you have a visa from an embassy and do you have to exit the country every 90 days ... OR  ... did you get an extension of stay based on marriage from an immigrations office and you have report to an immigration office every 90 days?

 

Extensions end as soon as the reason for them ends, but visas remain valid until they expire. If you have an actual unexpired visa, you could do a border crossing before it expires and get a new 90 day permission to stay, which would give you some more time to sort things out.

 

 

I used to extend my marriage visa every year at immigration.  But since it is ending in June, I could just go out of country and enter Thailand as tourist to get 90 days. Or like advised here, I coulsd talk to my ex if he can help to extend my marriage visa next month until we sort things out.

Many thanks!

If your not divorced by June depending on how your relationship is with hubby. If you get his house book copied and him to sign it you could go over to Savanakhet and get another years non o based on marriage and get 17months out of it.. Then even if the circumstances with ex go down hill you can still stay for 15mths by doing 3 mthly border runs. Just a thought but not knowing your  circumstances it's just another thought.

Thanks alot! I will talk with him if he can cooperates my visa extension.

What do you have now?

 Do you a multiple entry non-o visa or an extension of stay based upon marriage obtained at immigration?

If you have a non-o visa it will remain valid until it expires. If an extension of stay it will end on the date you get divorced.

If you can get custody of your child you could get an extension based upon being the parent of a Thai. You would need 400k baht in a Thai bank or proof of 40k baht income.

Thanks alot for your kind info. I guess I may have to go out of country and enter as tourist visa to extend stay at the end of May something so I will have more time to settle things down.

Thank you

Hello.

I am an expat married to Thai husband and we have 4 months old baby who is Thai citizen by birth.

But we decided to get divorced and my marriage visa expires in coming June.

My baby still needs mother and father doesnt want to let me have custody so we need to talk to lawyer but I guess it will take time to settle down.

So before June, I need to apply new visa from marriage visa.

What kinda visa should I apply? I am currently not working but I have been supporting family by transferring money from account in my home country.

Thanks in advance.
