Hi again all ,

Having used up all my entries on a non-immigrant visa , after the12 - 15 months , how can I get another ? Will I be able to get one in Cambodia or Burma etc , or will this only be possible and easier in the UK or Australia for example ?

Nignoy should have a good answer for this one , after all , he s been there , done that ...........( along with everthing else ! ) I luv ya man ...

You won't be able to get one in Asia, your best bet is the Hon Consulate in Perth. At the consulate in Melbourne, you only ever get three entries. Normally I go to Dallas, which is an honoury consulate too and not too stringent also.

Perth and Brisbane are both good Brisbane is quicker though. While you wait

If you are really entitled to a Non Imm visa you should be able to extend it

by any of the following:

1. by showing your work permit and the details of you job,

2. by showing you marriage certificate and the means by which

you support your wife

3. you are over 50 and have a pension or other means, to support yourself.

4. you have invested 3m in Thailand

all 4 or only either 1?

and what happen to the THB40,000 a month income or THB400,000 in the bank?

Explorer

Any of the above plus education and others.

The 40/400 is only applicable to support Thai wife and nothing "happens" to it. You earn and are expected to spend it as needed.

If your applying on the basis of being married to a thai or supporting a thai child Penang is your best bet in this region.

So even if I am a UK passport holder I can go to Perth ? I dont need to return to UK for new one ? And if I cant go to Perth or equivalent , can I go to Cambodia or Burma and get a tourist visa ?

What are the grounds for your application for a Non-Immigrant visa ?

Never really thought of going elsewhere. Just get my new Visa as part of annual holiday to UK. It's just so easy. Walk into Consulate,passport,2 photos,marriage cert,90pounds.5 minutes later walk out with Visa. No checks on Income,pension,etc.

Or you could get the extension of stay and don't bother going back, if you meet the finance requirements that is.

Ultimately they'll wake up that he is not extending to avoid meeting those financial obligations.

After 5 years never had even a question raised. Couldn't seem to care less. Perhaps the policy will change when the lady in the Consulate retires.

Blimey,it was never that quick in my day.Used to have to go back the next day.

Yeah but this is in Wales where normally I'm the only person visiting the Consulate, and the lady remembers me and my dad from year to year.

even if I am a UK passport holder I can go to Perth ? I dont need to return to UK for new one ? And if I cant go to Perth or equivalent , can I go to Cambodia or Burma and get a tourist visa ?

I am a UK passport holder, and have never been to the UK to get any of the visas in the last five years. So you shouldn't have a problem at least not at the consulates mentioned.
