  1. Hmmmm Living in the US, they could still support me here in Thailand, although they do go back and forth.

    I guess I'm wondering if it would be cheaper (no 400,000B) to have them sponsor me rather than the wife for extensions of stay. I could always return and get a 1yr as I've been doing for some time. I've never bothered with an extension.

    So I must be divorced, or a widower to qualify, back to the "marriage" visa

     

    thanks guys

  2. I am a 70 year old US citizen, and although I have used several nonimm O (marriage-family) visas over the years, I would like to check the feasibility, advantages of having my now grown sons sponsor me. It took years through several coups for the papers to finalize, but they are now my children with dual citizenship, both working in the US. There is precious little information about doing this visa. 

         I do have a good US immigration lawyer in Bangkok, but I'm not sure if this is his area. It seems that if you have all your paperwork, and all your ducks in a row, it shouldn't be harder than any other visa. I just can't find the ducks. Thai imm website is Byzantine; perhaps a Thai consulate in the US? they are often the least knowledgeable or shall I say help. If anyone here knows the skinny, my thanks.

  3. post #8 no "visa" but likely a 30 day permission stamp. Quick border run entering with and leaving with a Thai pspt should cover staying as a Thai, return to UK on UK ppt and returning to Thailand on a UK ppt gives the same problem next time.

    If you leave on Thai ppt, enter UK on UK ppt, return to Thailand on Thai ppt everything should look kosher. My wife always uses US ppt entering and leaving US, and her Thai ppt when dealing with Thai imm.

    All stamps seem to be in order and things run smoothly. I hope I'm not missing something important, if so, let me know.

  4. I don't know their tax law but it seems living in someones apartment rent free wouldn't be considered income. Receiving a gift in the amount of your rent might be. Clearly receiving a car as payment for services in lieu of cash would be. Governments hate it when people barter service for service [the designer]. It does seem however the powers that be are slinging mud at the wall to see what sticks. Is it her 'draft dodging', is she opening her mouth politically?
