SpokaneAl Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) A friend is here on a retirement extension of stay. His wife is Thai and, although she possesses a Thai ID and Thai passport, prefers, for reasons of her own, to stay via her US passport. He tells me she just received her second consecutive one year extension of stay for visiting family. This required no financial disclosures. She does her 90 day reporting, just like him. I was aware of the 90 day visa to visit family but not a one year option. Would not this be a better solution for someone like me, vs. the retirement visa/extension of stay?

ubonjoe Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Just about every thing can be eliminated. Normally only the marriage certificate, wife's ID card and house book is all that is needed. Edited November 24, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very best that could be hoped for would be a 12 month multi entry visa requiring border runs every ninety days. These visas are virtually impossible to obtain.

ubonjoe Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) KL has not done them for several months now. That is why I mentioned Savannakhet.

So I am considering to take a inexpensive flight to Kuala Lumpua from Singapore where Thai embassy can do the multiple entry visa for marriage. See http://www.thai-consulate.net/thai-embassy-in-kuala-lumpur.html Hope they keep a word for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I shall bear in mind about the Penang possibility next time with much thanks. (Savannakhet is still unknown to me - Laos?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issanman Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Screen shot. Hit post button to fast. Ubonjoe, Thank you for posting this. My daughter has a Thai mother and will be coming to Thailand on a non-O visa on the basis of visiting her Thai mother. Once here, it appears that she may be able to extend that for a year based on the 2.23 section of the Police Order in the thumbnail. That is great news. Assuming that she is able to get the one year extension, will she then be allowed to also work in Thailand? Thanks for all your good informative posts!

An example is here: http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/?q=node/191 Her birth registration can be done here at the consular affairs division of the MFA in Bangkok. They will send the required documents to the embassy where she was born for them to do the registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to get that done now so that it may expedite matters later. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
