Kl For A Multi Entry Non-o Based On Having A Thai Daughter

[bigt116]

Hi all,

as the title says, does anyone have any experience of getting a multi Non-O from KL based on a Thai child? I am not married to the mother, but we have been living together for the last 18 months, (daughter is 6 months old).

Many thanks

As long as you are named as the father on the birth certificate you can obtain a multiple entry Non-O visa at KL, if you can show some money (more than 20,000, and more is better) in a Thai bank. The visa would require you to leave the country every 90 days. Do a border hop just before the visa expires and you will get another 90 days permission to stay, stretching the visa to 15 months.

Alternatively, if you registered the birth yourself as the father at the local amphur within 15 days of birth, you could apply at immigration for 12 months extension of stay as you have custody of the child, if you meet the financial requirements (400k in thai bank for 2 months prior to application or 40k/month income). Have a look at the thread below for more information

On your current permission to stay you can get a 60 day extension if needs be at thai immigration by showing birth certificate naming you as father. Cost 1,900 baht.

as you have custody of the child

I am reading his post as living with mother for 18 months (as the child is only six months) and highly doubt he has custody.

Ok, poor choice of word; he has a legal interest in the child if he registered the child's birth but can still apply for extension of stay if he meets the requirements.

Thanks for the answers with regards the showing of cash, would some Thai Baht (10-15 thousand) and proof of my UK Army pension of £650 per month suffice ?

Hi!

I have a question regarding this as well.

My daughter is born in Thailand and has a thai birth certificate from the hospital.

In the birth certificate it says she is of another nationality. But she is still born in Thailand.

I (her mother) is adopted and have thai birth certificate too, but have not gotten back my thai citizenship yet.

In our daughters birth certificate it says i am of another nationality too.

Do you think it is possible for my husband to apply for the non imm O for our daughter?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Take care now!

No. But she does not require as there is no overstay charge for children. You should take action to prove your nationality and then your daughter. Being born in Thailand does not provide nationality. But having a Thai parent should.

[Mario2008]

The child will only be Thai if one of the parents is Thai at the date of birth. It seems you didn't have your Thai citizenship when the baby was born, so your child doesn't hold Thai nationality. Unless you get your own Thai nationality retroactive.

Ok.

Thanks a lot for quick response there!

I am doing all i can to get my citizenship back but my papers are all false, as for many other children who were adopted from Thailand in 1976-77.

Take care now!

Anyone know the answer to my post about using my pension as funds ?

You can try. There is no hard and fast amount amount rule. It is very much down to the immigration officer on the day. Would suggest taking bank book too.

Thaipoon: he has a legal interest in the child if he registered the child's birth but can still apply for extension of stay if he meets the requirements.

The birth document says not much. The mother can right MIKY MOUSE as father and nobody will say anything.

The father says nothing from a registration.

Normaly the like to see at least 20 k Bath as mentiond before.

But i hope that they will give him a Non-O-Visa with 1 enty as he can show them a pension.

I tried thi in London about three years ago. Showed the birth certificate and bank book with quite a lot of money. The guy at the counter asked me for my marriage certificate and upon saying that the mother and I were not married, but have lived together for three years, he got very snotty.

"In Thailand we get married before we have children" he said. I got a single entry!

That was London, a notoriously difficult office, and I also believe the rules may have changed earlier this year.

Now, how many unmarried Thai mothers have I encountered over the last few years?
