Hi, I'm coming to Thailand for 6 weeks, my UK passport only gets me 30 days on arrival, what's the best way to extend? I have a Thai marriage certificate, but my wife is not in Thailand. I have 2 kids from a previous who are in Thailand 

 

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I can get my wife's documents, but she won't be able to go to immigration with me.

I can get my kids birth certificate svas well

Easiest way is to obtain a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry 

Use a TM7 form. 1900bht 

You can apply with week or two remaining on your entry stamp.

The 30 days will be added to expiry date of entry stamp.

This attached thread explains the application

Did you consider eVisa (tourist visa) obtained in UK.

Provides 60 days 

Coming from where? Tourist visa will get you 60 days without having to go to immigration.

I am from the UK, but I'm in China. My wife won't be able to sign the documents needed, so looks like I will have to extend with children's birth certificate, does anyone know the process is.

  You can just extend normally , no need for any birth certificate .

Best not to tell anyone about the children , as you would be going to Thailand as a tourist and not to see children and they could tell you to get the correct visa

You don't require a Thai wife or child.

Your stay is 6 weeks.

30 day entry stamp+ 30 day extension= 60 days.

I also posted comprehensive thread that covers how to obtain a 30 day extension!

Hi Nick, do I need to do the TM30 as well?

  Your accommodation should do a TM30 report , ask them for a photo copy of the TM30 to take along to immigration , you will also need a passport seized photo

If you are resident in China you can get an evisa online. It's very easy. I got one recently.

Really do you have a link

@nicelee808

It looks like you won't need to get an extension. 30 days visa exempt will change to 60 days from June 1
