The '60 day' he mentions, he specifically describes as an extension, he never mentions it as being a non O, not even in the quote you type under, misrepresenting his words, he correctly refers to it as an extension in that quote in relationship to the Non O visa single entry, which he correctly attributes the correct nomenclature to it. He states, "We can get a 60 day *extension* on the "Single-entry Non O based on marriage" for "visiting Thai spouse" He then asks, "My question is, can I get the one year "Non O based on marriage" extension whilst I am here on the 60 day extension to visit Thai spouse?" To which your answer should be, yes, (as mine would be because ive done this countless times) though you choose quite consciously, like many asean now cave dwellers on here, the high pompous road, through your explanation of repeating back to him what he asked of you. Yet, with the incorrect assertion you made, that he, not you, had confused and conflated wrongly the extension and the non O. He does indeed state 1 year extension with the parenthesis of relating it to the visa it is associated with, and instead of using brackets he uses quotation marks, but again thats not your quibble, its something to do with 60 days something or other...??..? Which clearly is an aberration of your mind, rather than real world events recorded that we minions under your rule can observe. Extensions are relative to their visa types, how do i know this, ive done many in almost 20 years ive been here and ive heard many authorities in immigration use this description of them, not least on their websites and because even they themselves get it wrong as professionals in the field. Where extensions are described, exactly as this gentleman had done so, with relationship to its visa that one is extending the permission of stay based upon, that criteria for applying for how it is regulated and what criteria must be presented. Eg. Can i get an extension relating to my visa non O that i would be applying for if instead i use business visa criteria? No. They are different. Ergo, the need for specificity in description of the relevant visa one wishes to extend, in asking a question about its constituent extension. Which by any young persons eyes and acuity, like my own, could tell, seems to be this constant attempt by many 'long standing members' on here to tell those seeking reasonable advice on state regulated obfuscated rules of law, the difference between a visa, an extension, and on, so much so, you see things that arent even there, just so you can point them out in your self appointed post no one cares for. You and many other high priests on here, (unlike other gentleman dearly missed) get push back and scorn all the time for this irreverant behaviour, and yet, you persist, and we should not be surprised, as you well know, you cant teach an old... farang civil restraint when scoring vacuous points on a forum they hold court in, its far more approriate to this ignominious old /new gaurd protecting the sacred secrets of immigration nomenclature regarding visas and extensions from unholy exageration or misuse... as if it matters, or has ever mattered 1 bit.

Hi all. I recently went to Chiangmai immigration, (on the wrong day, busy as hell) but still managed to get the visa put in. Many Chinese applicants got turned away as they had come to late to apply that day, many pleading with the front desk to no avail. After the chaos of the new system, where 1 person checks the documents hands to another to check, you'd think this would mean the document was ready to be stamped and signed off, picture taken, payment given off you go. You would be wrong. Numbers weren't being called out, (given as a ticket, as you walk in through the covid time machine) so again chaos prevailed. Many Chinese in front had to sign, add, change documents, making the preapproved check, a complete waste of time. This happened to me, because I didn't add birth certificates ( it wasnt on list of documents), albeit I had them ready and waiting when asked inside. No-one outside knew. My main concern about this visa change was the section regarding my wife's surname, it mentions a document 6.1.3 to state her status before marriage. I didn't have it. I asked 7 days ago when getting my visa exempt extended, to which I was told, I only needed kor ror 2,3. Ok fine. The 2 things that were an issue for immigration; were the photos, the print place cropped them badly. The second being my wife's name change. Now, my wife went from her family name to mine. This can be seen on the Kor ror 3 document, and tabien baan when her parents had briefly lived with us whilst changing houses, ie same name. The immigration office dealing with the application had an issue, asking where the document was, and strangely showing another applicants documentation to show it in the tabien baan. Showing us their photos sitting on the bed... I informed her that the officer previously, had said it was not necessary, at this moment a senior officer came over and asked for my wifes ID. As she could see my wife's ID had my name on it, that was apparently enough to satisfy the issue. After that, my passport was given back, with collection date receipt and told to come to desk no3 on the date specified. With that at 5.10pm we fled to our freedom, with only a confused Chinese family and a single woman behind us left to sort. Hopefully the visa is kosher, and then its onto the visa 1 year extension.

DNA testing – For first time child cases (first passport for a child) applying for British citizenship and who have been offered by His Majesty’s Passport Office to take their DNA test at a VFS Global Visa Application Centre. VFS staff will contact you by email once we receive the notification from HMPO. The DNA testing company will send your results directly to HMPO, and to the email address you have provided to HMPO, after DNA samples have been collected for all family members. The indicative costs of DNA testing is as follows: £150 per family member sampled in country of application; or £200 per family member sampled in the UK. This guff at the top is clearly meant to confuse. I will be going to get my sons first passport he is 8. My eldest already has one albeit needs renewing. I was born after jan 1, 1982 which means I have to provide my parents birth and marriage certificates to prove I'm British, to pass on my Britishness to my son. I will be refusing dna testing. I will if needs be, complaining to the embassy and my local mp, who helped previously when my wife was applying for settlement visa and then was delay, if this is what vfs are mandating.

What I posted is from the UK governments website, not some company working on their behalf. As it states quite clearly what is necessary or not, any company suggesting you *need* to do x, y or z should be pointed to the the states own requirements, that they are working on behalf of. If you want to do a DNA test that is upto you, but its not a requirement, and, more importantly, they have no power to insist you take it. Because VFS is a company, and they make money, this is probably the angle that they try to use in order to get you to pay more money, like their other products that they make seem would be of use to you.

This guidance tells HM Passport Office staff: that we follow Home Office DNA guidance that we cannot require customers to provide DNA evidence as part of their passport application that we have no specific statutory power to require DNA evidence what we do when we receive DNA evidence to support a British passport application

Hello all, I'm currently visa exempt. In chiangmai. I'm wondering can I get a 60 day marriage straight off the bat, or, do I need to get a 30 day extension first to then get 60 day. Are there any limits to getting this time restrictions etc..? The goal is to get 1 year extension. I have 400k seasoned. A wife, and a headache. So I'm ready to go Any advice is greatly appreciated.
