Geekfreaklover Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi, Am not sure if this has been covered before. My non-im visa, granted in London is soon to expire. Would anyone know if it is possible to be granted a one year extension at Bangkok immigration based on custody of a Thai national? - I am divorced to the mother of the child, but have legal documents stating that I have been given custody of the child by a thai court. The child is at school here and under my care. Are there financial requirements as with a non-o based on marriage? Thanks and regards, GFL.

Lite Beer Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You should be able to. Go to Immigration and ask. These are the rules. You need 2.18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 2.18 In the case of a family member of a Thai(applicable only to parents, spouse, child, adopted child or child of his/her spouse): Permission will be granted for a period of not more than 1 year at a time. (1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM) (2) Proof of family relationship (3) In the case of a spouse, the marital relationship shall be de jure (legitimate) and de facto; (4) In the case of a child, adopted child or child of his/her spouse, the said person must not be married, must be living with the family, and must be less than 20 years of age; or (5) In the case of a parent, one of parents must have an average annual income of not less than 40,000 baht per month or a money deposit of not less than 400,000 baht for expenses within a year.

lopburi3 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You will need the same financial requirements as a person who is married to a Thai woman. If you can not meet that requirment you have the option of non immigrant O visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekfreaklover Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks people Would tax docs showing the tax paid on 45,000 per month work, or are immigration now asking for bank records? I own a business, which has underperformed the last six months but have paid tax on my salary. Or would it be easier to fly to KL and get a new non-o armed with the birth certificate and court docs, i wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I expect the tax records would do the trick but have really not seen much reporting on local income for extension of stay - the worst that can happen is a no and then you go out for a visa.
