  1. Visa Update I received my single entry o visa today. Applied on 20/10/23 so about 19 days. I showed about £2800 in bank. They did ask for extra documents. Son’s I D card or passport which I not have yet and mothers I D card which I sent. Overall easy process and I fly 2 weeks tomorrow. Thanks for all replies .
  2. Thanks Ray. Really appreciate your help. I will continue with the o visa application and see how I go.
  3. I appreciate all answers and thanks. Still not 100% what to apply for. Probably try the non o single with 3 k and see what they say. I know it’s pointless trying to call so will have to just apply. If they say no I will then attempt the tourist.
  4. Sorry leave on 23 arrive 24 and return feb 20. 89 days. Sorry my mistake
  5. Yes different answers makes it a little confusing. Some people say 5k some not as much. And yes my aim is to have a visa whatever it is. Will try never to enter exempt only if in an emergency.
  6. £5000 is that the requirement for certain. If that’s the case will try to get a tourist. Now the problem is the return flight dated 90 days but visa only 60.
  7. So Ray would you say 3k would be ok. Does that extract say you only need £500 for single entry. Seems a bit low for a 90 day visa
  8. Will need a return anyway as I’m planning to leave on nov 23 and return feb 21 but was gonna purchase closer to return but can get now no problem. Just not sure if 3 k is enough. Obviously will have more when going. Not sure if I should wait a week or 2 to have more on bank statement. Yes a little surprised to be pulled at Phuket airport. Female IO had one look. Seen I had been out country for 2 nights and told supervisor. Yes could have done land entry but was easy to jump on a flight. There was 6-7 people pulled with me. I did have return flight and with all my other documents they let me through.
  9. Did border bounce in June this year KL for 2 nights. Was pulled on return to Phuket. Made to wait for one hour. Nothing major as had all documentation about child and return flight to uk. I just think it is an easier by obtaining a visa before entering. By the way that was my first visa exempt for 6 years. Been on long term visas before that. I am based in Phuket
  10. I would like to stay 90 days. I understand I could get tourist for 60 then extend but might just be easier with the single entry o. I have all documents here.
  11. Hello. Just going to apply for a single non o visa from London Thai Consulate based on having a Thai child. Only single entry for 90 days as will return to work after that. I was wondering how much should I show on bank statement. I have 3 k at the moment or should I show more and do I need a return flight. Thanks very much for all your replies.
  12. I totally understand your situation at your immigration office but I tell you at mine they need it to be seasoned for 2 months. I have done it for the last 2 years. Yes I agree it is probably the law but that does not mean nothing when they insist on it. Just a warning to people not to be caught out and check with the local immigration they will use
  13. The 400k needs to be seasoned for 2 months in my local immigrant office to gain an extension for 12 months based on being the father of Thai child. It might not be by the book but it is definitely the rule.
  14. I would check with your local immigration as some do require that the 400k has to be in the bank for 2 months before applying for extension based on being the father of your child. Maybe not by law but some immigration offices do require it as mine did
  15. There are various threads on here about it I know that you will have to go through the court to legalize you being the father. Your name on the birth certificate is not enough. Then get an single o visa from your country which you can then convert to a 12 month extension based on being the child’s parent. You will have to put 400k in your Thai bank which in my case has to be seasoned for 2 months before applying. There is threads on this but if you can’t find them maybe start a new one and wait for one of the very helpful experts on this site to help you out
