Hey you guys hello..I am currently on the last of my 15 monthmultiple entry non o and it expires on the 2nd of April,Am married with child (sole custody previous relationship)daughter aged 10,married five yrs,what i need to know is after reading previous postsis am i right in saying that they(imm)will grant me a further extension of 2 months for the cost of 1900 baht without having to show any documentation as my non o was already approved when applied,and that when my work permit is granted they will further extend for one year?How soon do i need to go to my local imm office to apply for an extension and what documentation should i take with me ?

If you have sole custody over a Thai national you can apply for a 1 year extension of stay if you have an income of 40,000 a month OR 400,000 in a bankaccount in Thailand for at least 2 months. (money can come from abroad).

If not you can get a 60 day extension from immigration with documents proving you have sole custody oevr your child and he lives with you. Take the kid with you.

Any extension can be asked in the last 30 days of your current permission to stay and starts when you current permisson to stay ends.

1. You must apply for the 60 day extension before you current permitted to stay ends - best to do in next week or so. You will require proof of marriage and expect they want to see the wife.

2. You require 40k income proof or 400k in bank account for 2 months to extend your stay on basis of marriage or child. A work permit does not mean you can extend your stay.

I have a child thai born, all document that prove it, im not married, is right i can apply a non O for child support, whit the prove of an income from my country more than 40.000 bath a month?

I have 48 yrs, before i remember need to have 50 yrs, now is still valid I must be 50yrs or more old?

Thank you a lot.

A single entry non immigrant O visa is normally available without the need for 40k income - if you have the income proof and custody of child an extension of stay from Immigration may be available for one year at a time. There is also a 60 day extension of stay available without the need for income proof.

thank you lopburi, im bored every 3 month go and come back.

sorry i mean extension, for that now no need to be 50 yrs old right?
