jobounce Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The text below is taken from another similar post but that topic seems to have gotten out of hand with other replies..... If what the Consul says is true then why do the new rules say that for the Non Imm O visa you need to show copy of birth certificate and proof of custody (of which I have both). Before I try to make my new visa has anyone succesfully got a visa on the basis of visiting a Thai (your) child? Thanks We have received this message from The Hon Consul at the Royal Thai Consulate Hull. Dear News Editor I would be obliged if you would post the following message from the Royal Thai Consulate, Hull UK regarding the Expat Forum Topic "Non Imm Visa When You Have Thai Child":- "Message from the Royal Thai Consulate in Hull (UK). Please note that it is no longer possible to obtain a non immigrant visa from the Royal Thai Embassy or from any of the Royal Thai Consulates in the UK on the basis that you are the father of a child living in Thailand even if you possess the child's birth certificate which shows you as the father. To be eligible to apply for this type of visa you must also be married to the mother of the child and have an official marriage certificate." Can you also please inform your readers that they must never post their passport from Thailand to any other country for any reason because there will not be any evidence in their passport to show that they exited Thailand. Thank you and kind regards Alan P Taylor Hon Consul Royal Thai Consulate 4 Priory Court Saxon Way Hessle HULL HU13 9PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The statement is meant to say that only being named as the father on the birth certificate is no longer enough to get a visa based on having a Thai child. You must have legitimized the child and for that show proof of custody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark55 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 if you read it ,you which shows you as the father. To be eligible to apply for this type of visa you must also be married to the mother of the child and have an official marriage certificate."

Mario2008 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I believe that was incorrect, but otehr consulates in the UK should issue anyway with proof of fatherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
