Hello all,

 

I have made a post about this situation a while back but....here goes again.

 

I am separated from my wife. We are still legally married. I have a son with ther. My son stays with her and I live near. We have not lived together for over 4 years. Recently I went to Vientiane and switched from a NON B back to a NON O. I am wanting to extend for a year based on having a Thai child. Everything went ok in Vientiane and I got 3 months.....

 

Now, I have been in contact with my local immigration. They have been told the facts of my particular case. I have been told that i may have to bring my wife to immigration with me on the day........I have the 400,000 Baht in my account, I have all the required paperwork.....he is legally my son.....

 

Has anyone else had or heard about a similar case/experience? 

 

Advice please...this is coming up soon.

 

Thankyou.

I am hearing different stories from different people....as is usual here. 

 

I was told they may want to 'talk' to my wife....however, this visa is not a marriage visa....I am STILL confused to be honest....

 

My son is 17 so, he is perfectly capable of coming to my defence....

As you are still legally married, it is not unusual they require the wife to attend, and you to apply based on being married to her - not based on the Thai child.  This is because they view not having a "seasoned" (for 2 months) 400K to be "getting away" with something, and it is not required to season the money for a child-based extension.

 

Of course, a marriage-based extension requires you and the wife living together (de-facto and de-jure).  If they are decent about it, and assuming you have the 400K seasoned, I hope they will allow the child-based extension for you - though, I believe that usually requires that the child lives with you.

Its the part about  about living with me that worries me.

My wife has said she is prepared to go with myself and my son to immigration. Now....I pay his school fees...clothes...the mortgage for the house they are both living in......

 

I am assuming they may want to ask her about how much support I give???? This may be an unusual situation but surely some others have gone through the same?

So you obtained a non O in Vientiane based on Thai child

It's good that the immigration office would facilitate 12 month extension based on parent of a Thai child while still married. 

Some offices would make you do the extension based on marriage if still married.

Yes I realize that..

The thing is , it seems that you have pointed out to immigration that you are still married and yet seem prepared to issue 12 month extension based on parent of Thai child.

This thread has links to lot of threads discussing requirements.

Also couple of posts pointing out that if married to mother immigration require extension based on marriage.

Since you are covering much of expenses (school feed, mortgage etc) perhaps they wish to confirm with mother..

In your situation the child is not living with you..

Are you 50+
