A neighbour of ours is over here in Thailand to visit his wife and two children, he always comes on a 30 day stamp on arrival. This has now run out so he has gone up to Laos to do a border run and will get another 15 days.

He believes he can then extend this with a visit to Immigration in Bangkok on the basis of having children over here.

I am not so sure as there is no visa to extend. He only requires about another 30 days in Thailand as he must return to work in Europe.

What are his options?

The new Immigration office in Phitsanulok covers our province.

From the Police Order.

2.24 In the case of an alien

visiting a Thai spouse or child:

Permission

will be granted for a period of not more than 60 days at a time.

(1) Proof of relationship.

(2) In the case of a spouse, their marital relationship shall be de

jure (legitimate) and de facto.

LB thanks for the prompt reply, so take all the paperwork to Phitsanolok and I take it is 1900 Baht for the extension?.

Yep. 1,900 Baht plus a passport size photo for the application form.
