Hi there, I have 2 children currently studying here. I have a 90 tourist visa which I'm hoping to extend to a one year non o.

The money has just been deposited in the bank(today) and my visa runs out 2nd April.

We have a 90 lease on a house here and our shipment arrives in 2 weeks.

My husband cannot stay with us as he is currently without a job. I am the only parent who can stay to look after the children. We are all British.

My problem is that somebody told me that the money in the bank only has to cover 3 months but not necessarily 30 days. IS this correct? If so I can apply for my one year non imm. o visa in the middle of March. If not, how can I apply for an extension for 30 days without leaving the country?

We tried the immigration office in Phuket town, but the person who served us wasn't at all helpful.

Please help. :o
