LongTimeLurker Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I'd appreciate any guidance from Ubonjoe or others in the know on what documents, processes, etc are required to achieve this at Jomtien immigration. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Not sure what you have now since there is no guardian extension. If you have a extension stay based upon being the parent of a Thai you only need to show the documents required for being married to a Thai. If you are using the 400k baht in bank it will need to be in the bank for 2 months on the date you apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a extension is for being the parent of a child attending school. It can also be issued for a child attending a public school, There is no guardian visa or extension of stay.

One in name of child, one in name of Guardian. Only one parent can be the guardian. I know what I am talking about because that's exactly what my ex is doing.

It does not say guardian anywhere. A parent cannot be the guardian of their child. They can have sole custody of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the case, a foreign parent of a foreign child attending a private school. So I'm asking for advice on how to change this to "piggyback" my Retirement Extension as my Spouse. The 500k doesn't have to be in the bank all year round, it can be withdrawn immediately the visa has been issued.

My ex has each year to show her bank book and show a letter from bank, issued the same day of renewal of permission to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what happens when the child has no renewal of the extension of stay 'cos they're 18 and leaving the country? Or do you mean the 500k thing? It can be spent 'cos that's what you're supposed to live off isn't it? (Unless you're on a retirement extension!!)

I assume you asking about your spouse e changing to an extension based upon being a member of your family. All that is needed for that is your legalized marriage certificate and copies of your passport photo page and your extension of stay based upon retirement. It will be issued to the day your extension expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
