Is this visible in Unifi Controller?

In fairness to drivers unfamiliar with the area, that sign is placed only in one place on either side - the final pilon before you enter the tunnel. It's also far too small and hard to read. Once it becomes visible to drivers there's no way to turn back (source):

Both parents have rights, regardless of nationality. The problems you'll most likely encounter is the enforcement of those rights and the bias in local enforcement towards the Thai national in mixed couples. Read back over the archives here, and you can find horror stories of farang parents granted full custody, but unable to enforce court orders due to local officials taking no interest. As the father you're most likely entitled to petition government agencies for information about your daughter. So you may be able to locate her school records this way. This may also assist in locating her. FWIW my advice is to find one of the larger, more reputable law firms who have Family Law experts, and pay for some initial advice. The reply above, although well-meaning, probably is not going to help your predicament. One thing that the reply mentions that often does come up (and can be leveraged) is money. Taking a transactional approach to this may at least yield information and temporary access. Offer to support your daughter's upkeep. See if this can gain you information/access. Can you contact your wife's family - can they be approached to at least start a dialogue about helping your daughter? Earning some trust with the family may provide dividends down the road. FWIW I've been through something very similar. It's not easy, but try to keep a positive outlook. Also, take care of yourself and good luck.

Interesting translated Facebook post regarding this story: Source

Yep. They require TM30 for "sole guardianship" visa.

I think they've changed this yet again, and now require 2 sets of external photos - one with full body of both parent and child with house number visible, and the other waist-up of parent and child with house number visible. All photos must be printed upright - they rejected any printed photos that required them to turn the page 90 degrees (go figure...). They also wanted photos or parent and child in bedroom, sitting room and kitchen from me. This was 1 month ago. They do a video walk through via Line. Additional items: I applied for 1yr extension on a 90-day Non-O, and they wanted at least 15 working days remaining on current visa. When I asked, they told me I could apply up to 45 days before visa expiry. They didn't like that my current rental agreement finished soon after I tried to apply first (living same house 11 years), and insisted that I needed to have a lease with at least 6 months remaining. So I had to go get a new lease contract from my landlord. Hope this helps.

They accepted my second application, but the IO at the time kept telling me he thought "not have enough time to complete". He then gave me the runaround for the Video Tour of my home for 5 straight days, each day saying "maybe tomorrow", after he missed the appointed time he gave the first day. Being honest, I was waiting for some sort of tea money request to make sure it all worked out. My visa was approved late last week, after 28 days under consideration. I think this is the point I was hoping to try to make - it's not as simple as rolling up any time before your Non-O expires in some provinces. Simply reporting my experience. Phuket IOs seem to make their own rules a lot of the time. Another example - they insisted that my rental lease agreement must have at least 6 months validity remaining (I've been at the same address for 11 years, but still had to get a new lease for a further year), which makes absolutely no sense at all. My best guess is that they don't want to deal with applicants directly as it gives them less time to bank funds from the insane number of agents operating in the Phuket office anytime I visit. C'est la vie.

I entered visa-exempt. I then applied for Non-O visa in-country giving me 90 days. 2 weeks before those 90 days expired I applied for, and was declined, 1yr extension with reason given by Phuket Immigration insufficient time remaining on current visa. I then applied for a 60-day extension as advised by Phuket Immigration to overcome the time issue. When I returned with 27 days remaining on that extension I was again told that this might be problematic due to multiple national holidays and insufficient time. So perhaps Phuket Immigration has their own rules relating to this? I'm trying to help others by simply reporting my recent experience. You can tell me all day that I can apply for the 1 year extension at any time during the final 30 days. That won't change the fact that Phuket Immigration declined my first application despite having 2 weeks remaining, and then seemed unhappy on attempt 2 with 27 days stay remaining. As I noted previously - YMMV.

I've just gone through this process in Phuket, and my initial application was declined due to insufficient remaining time on original visa Non-O SE. The Non-O was valid for 2 further weeks. I then had to get a 60-day extension, and even though I re-applied for the 1-yr extension 27 days before the new extension expired, there was resistance due to approaching national holidays. So clearly YMMV, due to IO on the day, location, the prevailing direction of the wind etc. Hopefully might be useful to someone.

I think the question here may be whether you can get an extension after the visa has expired. An extension is only available if you have a current Non-Immigrant O visa, and most offices will require that you have sufficient time remaining on the visa for the application process to be completed. Here in Phuket it's 15 working days now I believe. If you entered visa-exempt you can also apply in-country for the initial Non-O based on Thai dependent (TM86 or TM87 - can't remember), and then for an extension. Might save you some travelling expense and stress.

This all started with a single agent video which clearly stated they were pure guesses.

I think the fact that they are going to permit members to upgrade to packages that will no longer be available to purchase, in addition to an upgrade path to the new yet-to-be-announced packages, most probably indicates they'll honour the current prices for the legacy upgrade packages. Best guess of course, and only time will tell I suppose.

Found on a Facebook group, with the following comment: "I’m at the Elite offices now. All upgrades have been extended with your original upgrade price locked in." Can't vouch for authenticity, but looks legit:
