Apply at your own Immigration Province Office

After OCT 1. Applicants living in other provinces will NOT be able to apply through the immigration in Bangkok (they must apply locally).

Example: You don't like how your local immigration office interprets the laws so you having been going to another province such as Bangkok. Now you can no longer use that option. You must go to the local office after Oct 1st.

Marriage Visa amendment:

If you are applying on the basis of having 40,000 salary inside Thailand (with WP) you must also provide a location map of the company and photos of the company.

Possible Amendments:

They are re-considering the criteria for applicants supporting a Thai child and may allow a foreign parent UNDER 50 to apply. Not confirmed.

A new immigration order is expected to be released next week outlining these (and possibly other) changes.

Is this a way of stopping us getting fair treatment from BKK??I have my fouth marrige visa with 400 000 in the bank and my local imm says I'm not grandfathed who do I go to now???

Seems there is so much variation as to what embassies do and dont accept.

I have just renewed my married visa, but was asked to show income, I have over 400K in the bank, and showed an icome of 500K but as I have a rubber farm Im only taxed on the land (50 rai=221 baht) farmers tax, how can I prove this income? I also pointed out that I was grandfathered and was told this can only be used once.

hmm i think easier access to drugs is a good thing, not everyone can afford doctors, let alone drugs. if it is sold over the counter in thailand, why couldn't it be like that everywhere?

The Thai Police did take the swede in to custody on request from swedish Police Because he is wanted on drug charge in Sweden, and his passport is revoked so he is staying ileagaly in Thailand.
Thats the only thing the Thais have on him so he is to be deported to Sweden as soon as possible.

Hi I am thinking of opening an internet account with Kasicornbank but have no experience, can someone explain and let me know if its safe and reliable ect

thanks

Dennis,

The Thai embassy in Washington DC website gives good information on whether your step-daughter would be considered to be Thai.

Before she gets a Thai passport, she will need to get a Thai birth certificate, and if she was born in Norway, it may be that you have to register the birth at the embassy in Oslo rather than being able to do so within Thailand. Indeed, only 2 days ago my wife and I had to traipse down to the Thai embassy in London in order to register our son's birth with them and apply for his Thai passport. The advice we received was that the birth should be registered at the district office (amphur) in which the child was born and, if born overseas, then the Thai embassy in that country.

Scouse.

thanks from one scouse to another.

maybe I should have given a bit more info? she is 24 and asked at Thai immigration and they said not possible after 18 yaers old, but I have heard of some English men can get both if good in the languge

If your wife had indefinite leave at the time of your step daughter's visa application, then I agree with Scouse that her visa/entry clearance was endorsed incorrectly according to the relevant immigration rules. Her visa/entry clearance endorsement should have been in line with her mother's.

Please note that if she is to be included her mother's citizenship application and/or register as a British citizen, then she has to be under 18 at the time of the application. Else, when she is 18 or over, she would have to qualify for naturalisation (as an adult) on her own.

So, if there is time, then she may apply for indefinite leave beforehand (i.e. now) as Scouse suggested. Else, IMHO, it may be possible for her to register for citizenship anyway, given her visa's incorrect endorsement. See Home Office Policy, Conditions of stay (9.15.25 to 9.15.28).

Good luck and let us know what happens!

Maybe a little off the thread, but my stepdaughter Norwigian, Thai mother, would like dual nationaliy can this be done and how. She is now studying in BKK. Any help would be nice to get.
