ubonjoe Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) What kind of extension of stay do you have? Retirement, Marriage, work, and etc. Why can't you get your extension done? Unless you are married to a Thai lady (60 days) there is no extension you can get other than one year. Edited January 13, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 But you are free to exit and obtain a tourist visa for a new 60 day stay from any Thai Consulate if you are not able to continue extensions - that would cover the period of time you require. It only takes an overnight trip most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 60 days from immigration to visit your Child but...... As you don't want to deal with Immigration (I understand why not) you are going to have to go to a Thai Consulate and get a Tourist Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you are married to a Thai or have Thai children you can get a 60 day extension for visiting them, otherwise your only options are getting a Tourist visa in a neighboring country or doing border runs and getting visa exempt entries, 30 days by air, 15 days by land.

ubonjoe Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sorry forgot to mention 60 day extension for having a Thai child. You might still get the run around from your immigration office abut proof of residence. Take your daughter and her birth certificate and etc. to immigration and apply for extension to visit her. If you have proof of custody for your child you could get the multiple entry visa in Savannakhet Laos or KL Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I have to travel out of Thailand after January31st,then I would travel to a neighboring country and get a new Non OM visa,but i really want to avoid travelling out if it is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what I meant was,I don't want to deal with immigration anymore about my extension of stay,if I can get a 60 days whatever visa or extension and do not have to travel out of Thailand till March13th,i take it sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thank you,that's what i want if possible,is that sure or is it up to immigration again to give me or not give me?I don't have the custody for my daughter,but have a documents from her mother, certified by Amper saying,she is ok daughter stays with me,also I have documents from a Thai family court what says I'm the father,with that I never had a problem to get a Non Om 1yr visa,before I started to extend my stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well like i said,i will travel to USA on March13th after that travel to Germany,and then come back to Thailand,plan is to obtain a Non OM 1yr visa in Los Angeles or in Berlin,so then i don't want to waste time and money for tourist visa from a neighboring country.So if I can get anything from immigration it wold be great,if not well then I will travel to neighboring country and get a Non OM visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means on January31st i can go to immigration and get a 60days extension for "visiting" my daughter who actually lives with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Go to immigraiton with birth certificate, court document showing you are the father, you daughter and her ID-card and household registration book. That should be enough to give you a 60 day extension. Is your daughter registered on a household book elsewhere than where she is actually living with you? In that case immigration might want to see proof of where you/she really lives in the form of a rentl contract, utillity bill etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you have all of the documentation, sounds like you do, you should take your daughter and go as soon as possible in case they need something else. You can do it 30 days early and the 60 days is added to your present permissionto stay. Fill in TM7 form with picture and cost is 1900 baht.

Lite Beer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 As said, do not wait until 31st. Go a few days earlier in case of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The household registration will determine where you have to apply for the extension, as that is where she officially lives and that determines which immigraiton office you need to aply to. So if she doesn't live at that address you have the option of applying at the immigraiton office for the adress she is registered. With proof of living elsewhere than registered you can apply at the office for where actually registred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You will probably be fine. The 60 day extension is a routine extension that is locally made. The 1 year extension based on being the family member of a Thai national is not locally made, but made by a comittee. Immigration officers don't like to hear back form higher up in the chain of comand that they didn't do their work properly, so they scrutinize these applications very strictly and ask for much more evidence than the 60 day extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
