Extending A 14 Day Stamp - Options

[Captain Haddock]

Is there any way of extending an overland tourist stamp (14 day validity) from within Thailand for more than a week? Mine runs out on the 25th October. It transpires that I need to stay for another week or so, on top of my 14 day stamp. (I'm waiting for a business visa from Malaysia, so cannot re-enter there until said visa application is processed (about 10 days or so.)

I'm in Nakhon Sri Thammarat (NST) so the next best option for a new 14 day stamp would be Victoria Point via Ranong - does anyone have any recommendations for visa run companies? I could ride to Krabi and get the minivan from there if need be. Is there still such a thing as the Andaman Club as a visa renewal option?

While I'm married to a Thai and have children, I don't think I can qualify at the drop of a hat for a Non-Imm O as so far, the free 14 day stamp has been sufficient each time, and normally, if I know I'm going to be here for more than a coupla weeks, I get a 60 day tourist visa from the Thai embassy in KL. This time I didn't... doh. (Haven't done it for at least a year now.) Plus, as I say, I cannot pop over to Penang to redo longer term visas, and I hear Vic Point only does simple tourist visas - don't know if that's the reality, but a fresh 14 day stamp should do for me.)

Any advice is as always greatly appreciated - Cheers!

you could apply for a 60day extension based on your thai wife and child.

At least your wife has to go with you to the nearest Thai Immigration.

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.

Visit immirgation with the misses, her ID-card and household registration and wedding certificte and you can get an extension of 60 days for 1,900 baht.

Thanks for the replies guys. It sounds good, but my marriage/kids' birth certs are in KL right now... I do, of course, have Thai passports for the family, all with my family name on. The family are in the Tabien Baan book, and I'm in it as a parent of the children registered there. Would these count as sufficient evidence of proof of relationship? As I got married here I guess getting official document copies is an option also. Plus, Do I need to show any funds in the bank for this extension?

Ideas? Cheers!

Edit: Sorry Mario, was writing while you posted!

Another edit: Just remembered that I got married here in NST, traditionally. Legally, it was done a month later in Bang Rak, Bangkok, so maybe getting a marrige cert copy mightn't be that easy! But I do have a history of work permits and their associated Non Imm B/O extensions done in the NST Immigration office, where I'd be looking at getting the suggested 60 day extension - would this be a possible avenue of relationship proof?
