well, at least, now we know that they really don't want us here,

except for the few fortunate having skills that Thais need, and for the reachest of us who can afford to stay  

new rules everywhere, visas, work permit now!

where will they stop?

it's a real scarry time  

by now, I just hope that they will let me in when I'll be back from my trip in europe in january  ???

who knows rules might change again

Will you have a visa when you return ?  It is the slack one's they are off.

by now I have a non-0 multiple entry due to the birth-certificate of my daughter.

so, I have two possiblities, make a re-entry or/and make a new visa in geneva where I use to go, as I know madame la Consul for a few years now.

the problem is, are they going to change the rules for the non-o visas or leave it like it is?

as I asked to George, and he said that probably the best would be to see the consulate in Geneva ...

what do you think?

we plan to go back to europe anyway, so it's just a matter of a few months ..., but if I cannot get this non-0 visa, they will give me a tourist one and then I'll be <deleted>&%$ ....

problem! hum hum

Francois --

If you don't have your baby declared as a national of your country already -- do so.

That alone will entitle you, as the Father of a dual national, some stay rights.

Make that happen, or you're screwed.

thanks for the good advoce Mekhongkurt, but I might look ignorant, but how should I do this?

I thought to go to my ambassy to declare the child so she would be on my passport. But I haven't had any clue how they perform this ...

any idea for this, as you might have noticed I'm french ...

it's not my fault! I swear .. I just born there
