hello,

im living in bangkok and holding a german passport and 60 days dble entry tourist visa. (looking for a new job at the moment..)

i have a son here with my thai girlfriend (not married!)

in germany it is possible to get a 1 year non immi O visa without problems. (just need to leave thailand every 90 days)

dont want to fly to germany, just for getting the O visa!

but in general this must be possible here as well!!? any experience with this issue?? and recomendations, which consulate will issue this visa? (vientianne or...?)

thnks a lot

I believe that the best you could hope for in the region would be a single 90 day entry.

They expect you to extend at Immigration.

Extension Rules.

Would this only be accepted if the OP was on the Birth certificate of the child?

If not, then he would have to use Perth, being the nearest, for a O visa visiting friends.

He would have to be the legal Father.

The Consulate in Perth is now closed.
