Newbie here.  Just a quick question.  Can I extend my 90 day Single Entry Non-O visa (issued London UK) ?   This expires 26 February and I wish to stay until 27 March.

 

Thanx

If you are married to a Thai or are the parent of a Thai you can apply for a 60 day extension of stay to visit them.

If not there is no extension you can apply for other than one year if you can qualify for one.

What do you need in order to qualify for a 1 year extension?

For an extension based upon marriage to a Thai you need to have 400k baht in a Thai bank for 2 monhs in your name only or proof of 40k baht income.

Thanks mate

Thanks for original response, Ubonjoe.   In reply, I am married to a Thai lady, and we jointly own a condo here in Pattaya.  Can I therefore apply for a 60 day extension and what docs will I need for Jomptien Immigration ?  Thanks again in anticipation.

You can apply for the 60 day extension. Your wife will have to be with you.

You will need your marriage certificate plus a copy, copies of your wife's house book registry and ID card.

You will need proof of residence. If you wife's house book is for your the condo that will be accepted as proof.

 

Brilliant, many thanks again !  Obviously there's 1900B to be paid as well.  Which form do I have to complete ?

Use this Fillable TM7 form.pdf and print 2 sided after completing it.

Don't forget that your wife must go with you to immigration when you apply.

One last question and I promise to leave you alone !    I reported to Immigration on arrival within 24 hours as required and got the receipt stapled into my passport.  However, since then, we did a trip to Chiang Mai and stayed in a hotel that presumably notified the authorities that I was there.  I haven't bothered to report to Jomptien on my return (didn't think it was necessary).  Are they likely to fine me for this, even though I merely returned to my original location (our condo in Pattaya) ?

I didnt report anywhere when arriving ib early december on a multple non o visa, i didnt even know this was a requirement as ive never done this in the past, will i face any problems when going to extend at my local immigration here in aranyaprathet. My first place of stay was a hotel in bangkok.

No they will not fine you.

You should have a receipt for the report you did stapled in your passport. When they see it they will know you did the report.

I don't recall any reports of Aranyaprathet enforcing the TM30 report requirements.

A final thanks for all your time ubonjoe.

What are the requirements for a 1 year extension of SE non-o visa for a non-married parent of a (legitimized) Thai child ?

 

I recall mention of 400k but nothing else.

 

regards

The financial requirements are 400k baht in a Thai bank in your name only or proof 40k baht income. The rules do not mention the money being in the bank for any amount of time but some offices require the 400k baht to be in the bank for 2 months.

You would need their birth certificate, documents proving the legitimization. copies of their house book registry, photos of you and your child in and around the house. The documents required and photos vary from office to office.

You child will have to be with you when you apply.

 

thank you very much for another swift reply.

 

regarding the house book, we (they) are listed in the grandparents tabian baan in korat but we reside in bkk.

 

Does this mean we must apply in bkk or korat, or does it not matter so long as all the documents are in order?

 

Cheers!

You can apply in Bangkok. Where the children are registered is not important. 

thx bro!!

 

is it the standard extension form for that?

 

ill give it a spin on monday

You will need a completed TM7 form. Fillable TM7 form.pdf

General requirements are here. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_18

Chaeng Wattana immigration will want the bank letter and the bank book updated on the same day you apply.

do you know if this process is possible at the immigration office at the one-stop service centre in chamchuri square building?

You cannot do it there.

but i should have no issues applying in either cheang wattana or korat offices?

 

should it also be possible at 'any' immigration office, surat thani or chiang mai for example?

You have to do it at the designated office for where you are living and show proof of where you are living. 

oh, thanks for clarification.

 

i just saw tjis at the bottom;

 

An affidavit must also be submitted confirming the alien’s
marital or parental status with a Thai national.

 

do you know if this is the legitimization document (tabian lap long boot) or another in addition to it?

That is a statement done at immigration when the application is done.

Not sure they do them for an extension based upon being the parent of a Thai.

For marriage they have a form in Thai that the wife completes.

so confusing, my thai partner has just told me the english and thai versions of the same page (https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_18) are somewhat contradictory.

 

the last time we tried this it ended up 2 wasted days and nothing accomplished.

 

i guess we'll give it another shot and go over-prepared.

 

wish us luck!!
