I get asked to find them a farang man all the time, from ladies ladies from all walks of life (students, office workers, shop assistants, nurses, rice farmes, widows, divorcees etc...) to a point that I'm toying with the idea to turn it into a business venture and make money out of it. Seriously, what they really mean is "find me a wealthy man who can support me and my family and allow me to stop working or worrying about supporting others", they can be so brazen with their request. It's becoming to sound like a broken record.

When you’re at the immigration office tomorrow, ask if you can get a 60-day extension based on paragraph 7.23 of Royal Thai Police Order 606/2549. Bring along the documents mentioned there.

I asked the immigration officer if I could get an extension, (I had printed and took with me the document that Maestro linked above, just in case) the IO took my passport, supporting documents and briefly consulted with her supervisor (who in the end countersigned the visa) and other senior colleagues, she came back saying that I was entitled to 60 days, starting from my expire day (1st February 08), meaning now that the new expire day is 1st April 08. The visa was stamped on my passport and on the adjacent page the stapled a note saying I had to report back on 27th March, few days before departing. I'm assuming this is a one off extension, which goes way over my intended stay. I already re-scheduled my return flight on 5th of March. I was told that I could only have applied with this kind of extension at the BKK H/O and not at regional offices.

last Friday, I went to the immigration office in Sathorn Road, BKK to enquire whether I was eligible for an extension; took with me all relevant docs (I keep copies of everything), really I wasn't even intending applying, just finding information. I come out a few hours later (it took ages to sit with an immigration officer due to the number of people there) with a 2 months extension (not from the day of application as I feared but rather from day of visa expire) permit. The IO (immigration officer) and my gf filled the application form while I went outside to take passport sized photos to attach to the form. It was easy and quick, no question asked once I had shown the passport and supporting documents. Total damage 1,900 baht.

I intend to visit the BKK Immigration Office tomorrow to enquire whether I can apply for an extension. I do have all docs needed to support the application (birth certificate, daughter's residence certificate etc...), she's just one year old. I intend to stay another 30 days or so, exiting the country beginning of March. If required the 500K stat from my Kasikorn bank ain't a problem.

thanks for the info so far

I already have an outbound flight ticket on 1st Feb but I can postponed it to a later date, so that's not a problem. If I can't get another Non Imm O visa extension then I'll drive my car all the way to Vientiane (crossing the Thai-Lao friendship bridge) and come back the same day, having priorly re-scheduled my return flight ticket.

Hi,

I'm currently in Thailand, mostly residing in Mahasarakham with occasional trips to BKK. I'm on a Non Imm O visa type (entered on 4th Nov 07 must exit 1st Feb 08), got the visa to care my daughter who's thai national. I'm living in Mahasarakham with my Thai partner (no married). I'm EU national.

I'd like to extend my stay, ideally for another 90 days extension (if not a further 30 days will suffice); I need to understand if:

1. Can I extend my visa?

1b. If so what type of visa: another Non Imm O or a standard Tourist 30 days visa?

2. Can I do it at an immigration office (rather than exiting & re-entering the country)?

2b. If I can, do I need to apply at BKK the head office or can I do it at a regional office (Nong Khai a preferred location)?

Thanks for any feedback

Cricket is a religion, do not be blasphemous..... love it.

You are a pagan, am I rite?.......

Back in the 90s, I went to watch a few cricket matches with my ex in-laws who were big on the silly game. On one occasion, Essex v Middlesex at Lord's in Cricklewood, London. I fell aslep during the match. We went out for lunch, had a jolly good time, returned to my seat and the score was almost identical .... 555 lol that's the only game (cannot be called sport, really) that nothing really happens for yonks and then all of the sudden they all get excited for a wicket.

the question is, how good are the kiwi in the grand scheme of cricket world order?

(please write the answer at the back of a post stamp)
