I was originally on a non-Imm 'O' based on Thai wife, but am currently on a non-Imm 'B' for which I don't show money, as I am a volunteer teacher at the local village government school (I have a WP and contract).

As I will give up the volunteer teaching at some time in the future, so am looking at potential options in advance.

I completed the formal adoption of my step-daughter through the Adoption Agency in Bangkok earlier this year, it taking the best part of 2 years.

I have read of the success of others obtaining a visa with "no money" on the basis of being over 50 and having a Thai child.

Has anyone managed this with an adopted Thai child? If so, what was the process and what paperwork was required?

Thanks in advance.

David

It should be the same process except will also require the adoption paperwork.
