As stated before, I've been successfully able to obtain a 60 day extention based on the fact that I have a Thai son (16 months). I was told that I can not obtain an extention on an extention, which is logical. I've gotten this now twice, in Jan 2009 and again in June 2009. At the end of the second one, I went to Cambodia for the 15 day which expires shortly. Am I able to goto Immigration and grab this 60 day ext. again? More importantly, is there a limit to the amount of times this extention will be granted? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

My suspicion is that you are going to need an actual visa upon which to apply for the extension of stay (like you did before) rather than using visa exempt entry. Talk to immigration and see what they say.

Actually, the last 60 day ext. I received was on a 15 day visa upon arrival. I will call immigration first thing in the morning. ~D~

Your previous thread said "and in March, went to Laos to get a visa" (hence my comment) but I suspect you meant you got visa exempt entry . Good luck with immigration, and hope it works for you.

As an alternative to applying for 60 day extensions, have you perhaps considered going to KL or Penang and obtaining a 1 year multiple entry non-o visa on the basis of having Thai child?

On each entry in to Thailand you can get a maximum of 1 extension of 60 days. The kind of visa or visa exempt entry is not important.

Don't now what they will do in case of a multiple non-immigrant visa. Maybe you can get an extension on each entry, or only 1 on the visa.

What happened was that I got my first double entry from Laos in March and I did not know that I had to use the second entry before the date on the actual visa and I was going on the date on the stamp. I was late by one day and they wouldn't allow me to use the second visa! Man I felt dumb! (and boy did my girlfriend ever let me know it too! lol) So they gave me the 15 days and at the end of it, went to immigration and got the 60 day extention. That expired and I went to Cambodia for the 15 days which expires tomorrow. So I will go for the 60 day extention again later today.

For this multiple entry visa, what documentation is needed? I ask because I doubt we'd meet requirements as she makes under 40,000B a month. We live in a big family with other income coming in (her brother) but hers is not 40,000/month.

Many thanks for all your help!

It is you who has to show the income or the money in the bank for the extension of stay.

If you go to KL you will need to show something like at least 30,000 THB in your bankaccount to get a multiple non-O.
