hlfourie Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi guys, Trust all is well, I need some advise please. I have a NON IMMIGRANT O visa multiple entry which was issued in Penang in December, now the first three months are coming to an end. Must I cross a border to get it stamped again or can I do this at an immigration office in Bangkok? Your help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Border run time! You must exit and re-enter Thailand to activate your next 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yep. Cross any border, enter another country and return. Do this as many times as you wish until the Visa expires in December. Would you mind telling us on what grounds the Visa was issued as we don't get many reports from Penang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Did you provide some financial proof to obtain the visa in Penang, and how much did they require if so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 What was your non-O based on, marriage, retirement or volunteer work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlfourie Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi and thank you for the replies. To answer the questions, I got the visa on grounds of that I have dependans (two daughters) in thailand, all I gave was police certified copies of the birth certificates, no wife and no financial records. Used an Indian guy at AM Visa service across the road from Bannana Guesthouse in Penang, visa cost 550 Ringa and agency charge 150 Ringa thats x 10 to the baht. Thanks again for info and good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks, I guess Penang is going to be busy after this report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystickez Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just wondering - is it generally easier to get the visa application approved from these visa agents rather than going to the Consulate yourself? I'm going on Sunday, am hoping to get an 'o' visa based on having a Thai child, so also want to check that I can still work with this (I currently have a non-imm B and work permit, I'd just rather not have to do visa runs every 90 days). Any advice gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 You can get a WP on a non-O based on being a family member of a Thai national. A multiple non-O based on having a Thai child is more rare in Asia, and will require that you are the legal father and not only on the birth certificate. That also goes for an extension of stay. You must have legitimized the child if not married to the mother. if you are the legal father and the child is living with you, you can get yearly extensions of stay if you can show an income of 40,000 baht a month OR 400,000 baht in a bank account in Thailand in your name.

mystickez Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry, should have stated that I am the mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Am not understanding how the O visa is going to help you not make visa runs every 90 days? An O visa entry is also 90 days. Are you actually talking about extensions of stay on basis of child rather than visa entry and if work permit can be issued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry, should have stated that I am the mother Does the birth certificate state that the child is Thai under nationality? If so you will get a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I got a duel entry Non-O Visa from the Australian Consulate. No kids, no wife etc. Could have got a multiple, but didn't because of the extra expense. Is that rare for an Australian Consulate to issue same in my circumstances? .

lopburi3 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 On what basis did you obtain? Are you over age 50 perhaps? Are you working for an NGO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 On what basis did you obtain? Are you over age 50 perhaps? Are you working for an NGO? 50 + 1 day ... Not working for an NGO ... not work at all. Just applied, said I wanted to meet the Thai gf, and showed one Bank Statement ... maybe AUD $8,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Just to clarify, I take it that it was issued in December ( 9 months ago ) but you didn't actually enter Thailand until about 3 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
