  1. I don’t expect anything. But thank you for the rest of your response. yeah I think I’ll try this if the processing time for tourist visas is quicker than non-O Her family live in the north so she has none here. We’ve asked a few friends but they’re all working every day.
  2. Just copying my post from another thread because I am stressed What makes someone a visa runner? I mean I’ve entered Thailand many times visa exempt for a holiday, a couple of times this year actually, but I’ve always flown home to Australia in between. I’ve never left Thailand to reset via visa exempt status. The last time I came back to Thailand was on a non-o marriage visa, our daughter was recently born and there were complications so I wasn’t able to extend for a year because I had to spend over 400,000 baht to save my daughters life. So I was planning to leave and go to Phu Quoc for a couple of days and then come back to Bangkok visa exempt to be with my wife and daughter for 60 days before applying for a one year non-O. I can’t justify spending so much money to go back to Australia for a short period when I have a newborn.Will they see me as someone doing a border run if I do this and not allow me back in to be with my family? I am so stressed. I went to Chaeng Wattana to get a 60 day extension. My wife couldn’t come because of our newborn and there was already complications with her lungs when she was born so we don’t want to expose her to hundreds of people for hours in immigration. The immigration officer I spoke to was extremely rude and despite me having literally every document I could bring she wouldn’t look at any of them because my wife wasn’t with me. I explained the baby and she was just like “too bad”. I was told by a visa company I should be fine to go there without my wife if its just for the 60 day extension but I guess not. So now I am stressed about if I will be classed as doing a visa run and not allowed in.
